Hello Jack and Don:
I followed the above link and found it very interesting!
I don't have an RV or a desire to receive dns channels.  But if I had
a friend who did I would tell him to purchase a system, then call and
activate it on his existing account.  I would tell him to list the
location of the unit as his RV and that he wants to apply for Distant
Network Channels.  Directv's web site lists the requirement he will
need to send and also where to send them.
