Yes, they do. Rates vary. I am paying 25 a month for about 30 channels plus locals. They also have more expensive plans. You can start and stop it whenever you want. Just be advised that they charge you 5 bucks a month when your account is suspended.

I would guess that is a nationwide rate ? Also do you need multiple boxes for added tv's ? Or do all tv's have to watch the same channel ? As suspended you mean not in use correct ? Thx

The numbers of TVs depend on the receiver. Some receivers are dual channel which allows 2 TVs if wired correctly. In my coach we have a receiver in the front (dual, although not presently wired correctly) and a single channel receiver in bedroom. The 2 receivers can be on separate channels, etc. The second receiver costs $10 more per month.

The Dish Pay-As-You-Go plan is not a programming option it is a no-contract payment option. You select what level of programming you want and tell them you want the pay as you go payment option. You pay for a months service in advance, and are notified before that runs out to pay for the next month. You have the option of not paying for the next month or you can call them before the prepaid month is up and requesting them to "DISCONNECT" your service. The unused portion you paid remains in your account to you call them to reconnect or go on line to restart your service. DO NOT SAY SUSPEND, you will be charged $5 a month for nothing. Always say DISCONNECT then there is no charge and you retain your unused balance.
As to multiple receivers and such that depends on the set up you want to use in your RV. Just remember with the PAY-AS-YOU-GO plan you must purchase all the equipment, you cannot lease it as you would with a 24 month contract plan.

I did forget to mention the purchase thing. Our MH came with the receivers (used). I was told by Dish that RVs cannot rent the equipment as there is not a guaranty of getting it back. Those plans you see advertised for X dollars per month for 1 year with a 2 year commitment are for stick built only. The only option for RVs is the full price month to month plans where you own the receivers.

Unless you transfer your dish from S&B to coach.

Unfortunately we did not have Dish in our S.B. We had cable.
