Regarding the zip code part of your question, if you have not set up your receiver with the provider (Direct TV, Dish TV) it askes you for a zip code. That is the zip you will live with no matter where you are. The zip code allows you to pick up the local channels in that area when you are there. My zip was the Tampa FL area, so when in that area I could pick up all the locals, when not, say I was in Chicago I did not receive the locals from my sat. If I went to the weather channel I got the local weather for the Tampa area. At least that is the way mine works. Hope that helps!
PS.......That was a satellite dish on top of a motor home that I sold last summer! I have not decided how to rig up my new Laredo, maybe one of those portable ground domes!
