Directv does do spot transmitting for lack of better words. I am subscribed to Lafayette locals so I get them here. But if I move the receiver too far from Lafayette then the dish won't be able to get the signal for Lafayette locals. I'm not sure how far that is though. I've gone as far as New Orleans and still picked up my locals.
As far as "account dish", I'm not sure what that refers to. I think you may be saying that the dish itself is assigned to the account. If so... You may have been told wrong. The dish isn't assigned to the account. The receiver and the card is. But if the receiver is outside of the transmitting area then it won't see the local signal on the dish that it is hooked to.
