Would we get the same channels we get in CT?
Seems to me this is the only and potentially least expensive way to get more than the couple Maine stations that we presently get on the island, especially when we need it only six months a year. Yes?

The short answer is yes. Just call Direct TV and make an appointment for a new dish for the NH home. I was told the charge is $49.95 for them to do this.
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.
