According to advertisements from DirecTV, you should take your receivers and remote controls to your new house and leave the satellite dish behind at your old house and obtain a new satellite dish from DirecTV. Their website says pretty much the same thing. DirecTV asks you to call their special “moving” customer service phone number at 1-877-616-6683 before your move. It appears that you will need to renew your contract with DirecTV in order to receive a new satellite dish for free. So if you do not wish to renew your contract, you should take your satellite dish with you as well. The website describing the DirecTV moving program can be found here.
Dish Network policy is similar. They say to leave the satellite dish behind and take your receivers and remotes with you. They do not mention anything about a contract extension, they say “restrictions apply”… so there may be a contract extension involved here as well. So if you do not wish to extend your contract, you may want to take your satellite dish with you. Dish Network also asks that you call their special “moving” customer service number at 1-866-228-3836. The website describing the Dish Network moving program can be found here.
