New Customer, 2nd Box cheaper on eBay?

[rabidfool]

I am looking at taking advantage of the current NFL Sunday ticket promo they have for new subs. Going to be starting with 2 tvs, both HD.

Instead of paying full price for an HD DVR box on the second TV ($199), can I buy my second box cheaper on eBay and use it while still using the free HD DVR on my main?

Yes, provided:

1) there is no balance owed on the receiver by the previous owner
2) you're willing to run the cables (or second cable as the case may be) to your second location
3) you're willing to pay the additional receiver fee of $4.99 for the second receiver.

1) Also, the eBay unit needs to be owned by the seller, not leased.

Don't worry about this. if you lease it you still have to pay 4.99 lease fee. leased or owned you still have to pay the 4.99 mirroring fee

I just wanted to make sure that he understood he was going to get hit with that fee no matter which way he went.

Did I misunderstand? Didn't the OP say it was to get the new customer promo price? In which case it wouldn't be a mirroring fee. It would be a whole 2nd package! And you'd need a 2nd billing address and probably someone else to subscribe it. IOW I wouldn't do it myself for ethical reasons.

I know D* used to have ST only subs but I'm thinking probably not anymore and at least not on this promo.
