Yes you can! We use Direct TV in our RV by using two receivers from home and hooking them up to our tvs inside our coach. For our dish, we have a King Dome which automatically finds the coordinates of the satellite at the push of a button. It's mounted on top of our coach permanently. It will also allow two tvs to be hooked up to it and as long as you have two receiver boxes, each tv can watch separate programs. They are a bit pricey though. Ours was already included when we bought our coach.
Most people just buy a manual satellite dish and either mount it on top of their RV or use a stand and just put it on the ground. I don't know how you find the correct coordinates, but I think instructions are on the Direct TV website.
There is also a way to get local channels while traveling too. I just call in and tell them to change my installation address and not my billing address. Just give them a commercial address in the area. It can even be a Walmart address. They just really need a zip code which is programmed into your receivers. You can do it yourself after learning about your set up for your boxes. I've changed my address dozens of times and most of the time it works on my dish.
The only problem is moving your boxes from house to RV which isn't that big of a deal to me.
Enjoy!
