Account stacking is all that comes to mind.

I can't believe you've never been audited.

If your commercial, you would have a completely different rate,and it would not apply to this thread.

Hemi I dealt with accounts where they were residential accounts with 27 boxes is been the highest I seen. Most of the time it just people with more money then what they know what to do with .

Yea , I hear ya!

How does D* not start asking Questions when your over 6 boxes? I mean Com'on 27 boxes.

Thats legit???? I would be knocking at the door of that house under cover, and if I didn't see 27 boxes, there would be an arrest made.

I could see 27 on a commercial account.
Not residential.

I couldn't imaging a CSR activating number 15, let alone number 27.


D* busted my chops over having 1 D* receiver in my office, Because they said thats commercial and would require a commercial account.
Yea, now imagine 27.

Now I am not in signal integerty so I cant say 100 percent sure but I often see preemptive service calls, which I think in my own opinion is the send the tech out to make sure everything is ok and that there is 27 boxes . But usually alot of these boxes are in the more posh areas of the country and your usually talking to a butler or maintance person.

 

[satjay]

wow...27 rooms!, I am guesiing these folks have the package that I think was called "platinum" or something like that

Must be a movie star with ST and a different game on every TV

And since every team doesn't play at the same time, I wonder what else he and his neighbors are watching.
I mean just him!


Sorry Stone I just find it hard to believe anyone would have D* in 27 rooms legal!
With a residential account.

Titanium package, it was originally $10k/yr, then went to $12.5k IIRC, now they say it is sold out and unavailable. I think it only included 10 receivers though.

 

[madmadworld]

how is it they sold out ? Duh

recall Shaquille O'Neal had a $15,000 a year wide open dtv service. in his divorce papers.

sell a few thousand more of those and they would not have to *Washington and Lincoln us so much lol
In the Great Depression II wages are down if you can find them,yet utilities,insurance and government are fighting deflation. end :rant:

* Washington and Lincoln has now replaced the old nickel and dime saying!!!

An arrest made? There is nothing illegal about not having all the receivers in the same location. Account stacking is not illegal so the only thing that thy could do is cancel the service on the person.

Um I think your wrong, I'm really sure its not legal to distribute cable or satellite signal without being authorized.
It may not be jail time, but just becase its a fine , doesn't make it OK.
I bet a lot more would happen to you then just a disconnect of service.

 

[Hemi 6.1]

Here, this is what your in for if you choose to Distribute Directv service to your friends.
Doesn't sound legal to me!

Account stacking is a LOT different than restransmitting the signal. With account stacking you are not distributing the signal to others.

Wow the one article you point to is a person that is transmitting the service to 100's of people over a cable system. This is a ton different than the account stacking that was being discussed. And yes I can see this article pointing to illegal activity but it is different.

If your providing someone else service, its not legal. Doesn't matter if its 100 or 5. Your taking money for services your not authorized to provide.

And if your not taking money, your dumb, Because I wouldn't provide someone tv service for free when I have to pay for it.

Wow!! Just becase they are using their Dish, doesn't mean your not providing the service.

I really hope you don't believe this statement you made.

You do know that Apple also said jailbraking the iPhone was illegal and we all know different now. Of course Directv is going to say this. At this point moving is also just as bad as you are "fraudulently" obtaining service.

Not the same.

"moving" is for Personal use per your own personal account.

Now if I was giving my Neighbor "OUT of Market" Locals and charging him $5, That would be another story.
But I'm paying D* for services for my OWN personal use!

If I was getting them by hacking the system ,that would also be a different story.

Account stacking is anytime you provide D*,Cable, E* service to anyone outside of your address
.
End of Story!

Keep telling your self that. Account stacking is still different than everything you posted.

This is all OT so I am officially done unless a new thread is opened on the subject.
