    You have to tell them the physical address and transfer service between the 2 physical addresses. Once you do that you should be OK and if you prove it is your address (utility bill), they will not charge you to transfer.

    If I had more time at DirecTV (work at the corporate office) I could help, but my last day is next week (finally got a job in m home city of San Diego).

    Hey, be nice
    I got offered a position that I could not say no to (I am moving to a larger company, get paid more and I work from home and get a bonus if I travel more than 7 business days in a 21 day period), so I decided not to wait until the DTV acquisition by AT&T is closed and severs me out.

    Now, if I could only get the wife to change her mind on this stupid RV idea

    That is why I took the new job. This RV thing has me at a loss. It was her way to get me to stop pushing a Havasu house and it worked. Now I am pushing toy hauler over RV and she is warming up to that

    Any time you can, whether direct or dish, find a local dealer to take care of you. They have to have some knowledge to stay in business for very long( we've been in business 45 yrs doing satellite for 38 yrs. dish has like 8000 customer support operators so like direct, getting someone with knowledge is very hit and miss. Dish absolutely has a plan to transfer service back and forth between 2 addresses. And again hopper system is much better than dtv genie.

    Call and ask for a supervisor and get transferred, dont waste yoru time with the person that answers first. The CS reps are hit and miss, but the supervisors usually know what to do.
