Is that the Genie? If so, from my understanding it won't work without the central unit. I never upgraded to the Genie and have all the separate boxes b/c I do the same thing as you. Find another box that isn't for the Genie and add it to your account for like $7 and leave it at camp. CS will usually give you a hard time if you tell them you are using it at home and camp so I wouldn't do that.

No idea on that but...
We recently switched to Directv and combined it with our mobile phones to get the unlimited data plan. We can watch our regular tv shows on our phones/tablet. Plan on using it bigly this deer season.

The Genie is the anti-christ. Do not ever switch to it. They call me every month trying to get me to upgrade. I have 6 boxes that cover my house and both camps. A genie box runs the other clone boxes. Pull one and the system shuts down. Post a pic of what you have.
