Directv ABroad installation?

[lcazorla]

Does anyone know, if I can take my directv abroad, let say south America, and install it their, but still have my account here in the states opened with the address of here the states, and receive the same thing I am receiving now here in the states, but in south America? I mean are we not feeding off a satellite, if so, as long as i find the correct satellite, I should recieve the same thing, right?

You need to have a signal "footprint" to cover the area you will be in to receive a particular service; and DirecTV services will not provide adequate coverage because they are intended for reception by residents inside the CONUS only. You could call to get DirecTV Latin America or Sky Mexico or a C/Ku setup. All would need new equipment.

That is considered "Unauthorized" use of their equipment, and even if it could be done, which it can't, it would be considered "Hacking", and according to the written rules, there is to be no conversations concerning such behavior...
