Local BR channels or local Gainsville channels?
If you are looking for gainsville channels, maybe you can just change your setup zip code. Not sure.

Trying to get CBS. I don't care where the channel comes from. Just trying to get the game.

A guy I tailgated with had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. He ended up tying into someone else's direct tv.

Sorry dude they won't do it. Your locals are on a spot beam from a specific transponder with a specific footprint. If the footprint of the spot beam doesn't reach Gainsville then your screwed. The zip code thing is just for installation angle and elevation calculation.
Calling won't help either. Unless you own an RV and can send them a copy of the title, then they will allow you access to ABC/CBS/NBC's national east coast and west coast feed.
This is why I also bring rabbit ears with my DTV on the road. Enjoy ESPN.

Whatif I call direct tv and change my service address just for the day. Will that work? Will they do it?

Cant anymore since spot beams you're too far away from BTR
