Default Direct TV - moving receiver back and forth to a new location

The long answer is be careful. You will obtain different answers from different people at Direct TV.

But what I was told was that if you are out of your 24 month (no current contract ) contract AND you add any new equipment - including a dish on roof - you begin a NEW 24 month contract.

Yes, if you have the correct dish - and there are many different dishes - you can use the same receiver in CT and NH. You can have one account and use it in two different locations. One is turned OFF the the other is turned ON. And you do have a choice to receive either the local channels in CT or NH. There are other ways to do this but those may or may not violate Direct TV rules.

But you best read up on how all this works.

Thanks for this link. Very helpful. When you say one account is turned on and one off, does that happen automatically or how do you make that happen every weekend when we go from CT to NH?
