You pay double if you keep the cable at home. The extra directtv
receivers are $5 a month. So it's way cheaper to switch at home, let them
install two recievers then as soon as they are gone box one up and haul it
to the boat. That way you pay about the same at home for tv and pay $5
more to have one on the boat.

I agree, however ....

At one time we had *both* DirectTV and cable in our house. We found that
the cable was more reliable, plus it also provides our Internet service.
So, after a while we dumped the DirectTV.

Sounds the most inexpensive route is for me to buy a dome type antenna, a
receiver and sign up for a single service DirectTV account. (We still have
the dish mounted on the house, so I don't need an "installation".) Once I
get the receiver registered and working, I'll just take it and the dome
antenna to the boat or RV.

I use cable for internet only. I use direct tv for tv. Our cable
company doesn't have a problem selling you just the internet
connection. I do miss out on price breaks for bundling but I use
vonage for the phone so that sort of makes up for it.
