We've got DirecTV in OH. We had DirecTV install a satellite dish at our TV home - we bring our receivers from OH when we come down to TV. Has worked out great for us for 3+ years. No additional charges whatsoever - still one account, one monthly bill - just two "service addresses" for our account.
Antenna in TV is installed for free (roof-mount.....pole mount in the ground is extra). We pack our two receivers up when we head down to TV. We make a phone call to DirecTV when we arrive in TV - they switch our service address over to our TV address so we can receive the local FL stations out of Orlando. We call them again when we get back to OH so they can align us with the local stations out of Columbus. If you don't care about receiving the local channels for your other location when you move your receivers, no need for the phone call - all your other stations will still be received. But the local stations from your originating service address will not be received until you return back there.
If you go this route, you cannot have your service active at both locations - it's either one location or the other. Otherwise, you'll have to set up another account with them, etc., etc.
An additional twist: We have snowbird friends who leave their two DirecTV receivers back home and had DirecTV install a new DVR receiver in their TV home. They pay an extra $6 every month for this additional receiver, year around, whether it's being used or not. It's their way of not having to transport their receivers back and forth each time they come to TV. Aside from that, it all works the same way - make the phone call to DirecTV each time to have the local channels accessible at the appropriate location, etc.
