Adding A Second ViP722 DVR?

[LutraLutra]

I've been looking around for information on this subject and have quite a bit of contradicting information. I ran across this forum, read a bit, and figured this would be a good place to ask.

I recently transferred to a University that I can not commute to from home, so I have established a part-time residence around the University. Currently, the part-time residence has Time Warner Cable for both digital television and internet, which I would like to change.

My family currently has an account with Dish Network and we been thinking about adding a second DVR to our home for a while now. If we did so, would it be possible to use the second DVR at the part time residence while I am there? I am aware that some extra equipment would be required.

As far as current equipment goes, I have identified that we have a ViP 722 DVR, and DPP44 VPPI, and a Dish 500 (It could be a 500+, I am not entirely sure at the moment) satellite dish with 2 LNBs.

I am pretty good with technical things, so have at it. Any guidance would be appreciated.

What you are describing is account stacking. Dish allows one address per account. You would need a second account for what you want.

So, it sounds like that isn't allowed.

We also have a motor home that we use on vacation. Would it be possible to use the second DVR in the motor home while on vacation?

Not while receiver is being used in the house, if you take all the receiver to a second address OR on a mobile home is acceptable as long as a receiver is not in use somewhere else.

You can also buy a Sling Adapter and watch that at another residence.
