<< It still doesn't fully answer the situation I hope for - that the primary receiver can be in my house, the second (or third) receiver can be in my house, RV, boat or van, and I still pay the "box mirrored" price. I'll ask again on that.>>

I did ask - and I got an answer too.

"The current policy of DirecTV is that you cannot get the reduced rate on the second receiver in the vehicle or vessel.
The current policy of the Dish Network is informally, "we're not too concerned" if a customer takes a mirrored receiver out of their house and puts it in their vehicle". Current policies of both companies are based on fairly small populations of REGISTERED mobile users."

I imagine that these policies are not cast in stone, and as the installed base grows and new trends become clear, things can/will change.

No one would pay twice for a second receiver in their office or den. Why should they pay twice to use it in their car or boat? I think the public will demand this over time.
