nope its to the nearest transformer. thus my 722 finding a neighbors box over the power line.
when the power company completed the neighborhood upgrade splitting the street into may transformers that box disappered. they are on a different transformer
admittly dish com isnt reliable but it might get a call from audit
Not sure why this thread is still alive... but just to clear something up, the box I'm going to put at another location doesn't have Dishcom so this is a mute issue.
I recommend nobody hook up a phone line or ethernet to a Dish Network receiver since it only causes hardship in the long run and is a complete waste of time and money (for those that buy pay per views).

I could never get my homeplug devices to talk beyond the breaker box.
But if you're bleeding network traffic through the transformer, you're also bleeding power. I'd guess the upgrade would have been intended to fix that, at least in part.
If I was going to do what your talking about I'd take it to work then take it home st night. No phone/ Internet connection. You could always get a slingplayer too. (option 2 yes alot more $)
I agree that it is a bad system, but unless they catch you with your pants down or you have been suspected and audited before, in theory, you can see that they are calling, not answer, and bring the box back home to pass the verification. If they want to shut off receivers after one missed phone call then they deserve to lose every customer they have.
Most reports I've read complain that they can't get DishComm to work across to the other leg in their own home, much less to a neighbor's.
For remotely watching, I suggest you look closely at the Sling technology. Just avoid all the troubles.

Under just the right conditions, HomePlug may survive going beyond your power meter.
Reports that Homeplug can't jump to other circuits are baloney. In most cases, Homeplug has little difficulty jumping to the other side of 220VAC.
Not in mine.
At any rate, my point is simply that sharing Homeplug traffic between two houses is indicative of a larger issue.
Some/many UPS units will block DishComm and maybe even surge protectors. Mine does and I wish it didn't.
