The problem is that when we go there, there is no TV service turned on. They have recently subscribed to DirecTV for their fulltime house and after I told them about the possibility of taking their receiver with them when they visit their Florida house, they are considering adding a DirecTV dish there as well. If they do that, would that allow us to take our own DirecTV receiver with us and connect to their satelite dish when we go to stay at their house. If so, would it just work by plugging it in or does DirecTV have to get involved?

You have to contact DirecTV Mover's Connection service (1-888-DTV-MOVE) and have them set your friend's vacation home address up as an additional "Service Location" on
your DirecTV account. It doesn't do anything to affect your normal billing. They might nix the whole thing, however, if they see that your friend already has that address set up on their account as well.
