Best Legit Way For Adding Second Address to Account?

[jasperpso]

basically yes, however, it might be easier if you remove the receiver from your account first.. you can still access the menus needed for installation even after you remove the it from your account.. you can watch the unscrambled channels to verify signal without active service (ie ..ch 101,103,9900) trust me, it will make it MUCH easier to call and start a new account for this receiver if it isnt already active..

dishrich,

thanks! that's even better.

so it would be 10$ for locals + 0$ for pi+ 5.98 for dvr fee = <20$ a month with taxes?

to install, i would do roughly this?
- Install my owned equipment
- Get everything working with the receiver while its still on my account
- Call Dish
- Ask that they create a new account
- get them to put the receiver on that account
- get them to activate the locals only access package
- get them to activate the public interest channels?
- get them to record the physical address under the grandmothers name
- get them to bill to my address / credit card auto pay

all done?

Of course you could always go the grey area route where you get an internet phone bridge ( ht503.html ) so your second house can have a dial tone belonging to the first house. I say gray area since if you are not watching TV at both locations at the same time I do not think that there would be any way they could justify charging you 2x for the same channels.

I have 2 houses, cable at one and Dish at the other. It somewhat irks me that I am a single guy paying for channels 2x. I have considered going the gray route.

Mike - so what you're basically saying is, as long as you have the SAME dial tone in the 2nd (TOTALLY separate) house, you are NOT treating it as stacking??? Come on dude, I don't disagree with you on 1 person paying 2x for the SAME thing, but I don't think you're going to get very many people here (if any) to say this is NOT stacking, through & through.
Bottom line, phone bridge or not, it's STILL stacking - if you're going to stack, fine; just keep it to yourself...

There IS a way to do this legal - just take the box back & forth each time, then your legal.
Obviously, that wouldn't help the OP out anyway...

up -yes as I & jas said, that's all fine. DO be aware, however, they might actually charge you $25 to start a new account that's a non-promo deal. (used equipment, no AT pkg, etc.) But YMMV, but you might want to ask first, to avoid a surprise later...

If you have two locations with persons watching (using) receivers on the same account at the same time it is account stacking and is not permitted by the user agreement.

Dish could legally disable all but one of your receivers if you are caught.

Use two accounts, it costs more ,but you are legitimate then.

There is no way to use receivers at two locations legitimately if they are on the same account.
