Unable to align dish

[lakebum431]

In what way? Did the RCA change substantially to promote or encourage multi-site installations?

Has having an self-installing dish available convinced you that you should have two or more locations where having conventional dishes were somehow discouraging such employment?

Your reasoning doesn't seem particularly reasonable given that the terms and conditions are substantially unchanged.

I'm not sure why this is so hard for you to understand. It is easier because you can have a 211 that is not expected to be on your account as it is your "tailgate" dish. So when/if the audit Nazis call then they can't expect you to have that connected to the system. It is now allowed to be in your motorhome at the storage center or in your tailgate trailer etc. That makes it easier for someone to actually have it sitting at their vacation home. Again, I'm not saying that is right, I'm just talking about the real world here (which you seem to refuse to live in).

Just as an FYI, I actually have two homes with two separate dish setups and obviously separate bills (Home: HWS, Original Hopper, 4 Joeys; Lakehouse: HWS, Orig Hopper 3 Joeys and a wireless Joey). When I tailgate I take one of the Hoppers with me and use a dish on a tripod not the Tailgater.

When was the last time you got a call from the Audit Nazis?

Do you see this as encouragement or promotion of simultaneous viewing at more than one site?

I have not received a call, but it would be unreasonable for them to request information from a receiver that, by design, isn't supposed to be hooked up to the customer's home dish.

As I've stated a few times now, I believe that they have made it much easier to have simultaneous viewing with the tailgater situation. I'm quite sure that it is common for not everyone in a household to go to the tailgate. Therefore, commercials telling people to have a separate dish for their tailgater (they are all over my local sports radio channel right now), in my opinion, is indirectly encouraging simultaneous viewing.

I agree with this, but I don't believe it is applicable to the OP.

In the "real world" where you live, would you have advised the OP to call Dish out to re-align the dish at his farm? The OP is not a snowbird, not an RV'er, and not tailgating. He has "upgraded" equipment at this service address (house) and has kept an active receiver at his farm for several years. I think Harshness gave him good advice to not draw attention to his farm location, since it does not meet any of Dish's acceptable methods of simultaneous viewing.

Do I believe that Dish would have filed criminal charges against the OP? No. I'm not even sure they would have penalized his account in any way. But, it certainly would have brought unnecessary scrutiny to him.

What? You want us to stay on topic? This is SG not DBS.

Point well taken. Carry on.

Rational reasoning and logic can have that effect.

Yea, that's not how I see it at all.
