Second homes

Its the spotbeam. I travel with a 311 receiver in my RV and if I go more than 100 miles from home the locals I watch are lost. Not much you can do about it.

how does the "2 receivers at both places at the same time is a no-no" rule apply if you have two houses right next to each other and they and the land are both owned by you?

Just wondering as this is what I've been doing for a few years now - even ran a phone line over to the 2nd house along with the sat cable just in case - what does DN have to say about this?

Generally, Dish wants all receivers under the same roof. They do realize some people want service in detached garages or guest houses and this is usually ok.

As far as the two houses side by side, if one (or both) is a rental and they are sharing one account, this is considered account stacking and definitely a no-no.

I just had a thought - if you send the signal from your receiver to another house over wireless and use one of those IR remote senders (both cost about $100 with 120ft range) would that count as having service at a second location even if you don't actually have the receiver at the second location? And what about what Sling is doing - if u use a sling box and a sling catcher as a dedicated solution is that considered service at a second location?

Seems like a huge loophole - if you keep all receivers under one roof then you are ok, even if you control said receiver from a remote location.
