Movies and TV DirecTv Trick I just learned about

**Buck** · 02:00 PM

A Friend of mine does this so I know it works.

With the Chargers Blackout scare coming up this season, I may use this tactic. Also, if any of KCs games will be blacked out, you may want to try it too. You can even do this just to save money on Sunday Ticket, even if Blackouts aren't a concern for your team.

Heres the deal.

I live in San Diego, CA. I have a relative who lives in Tampa Bay, FL. He gets DirecTV Sunday Ticket every year. We can get him to order an extra receiver (with a card in it) and Satellite Dish (he tells them its for him obviously). He sends that stuff out to us, and we set it up in our home. As long as we never plug the telephone wire into the DirecTV box, they won't know that its in SD instead of TB. We now get the Tampa Bay feed in San Diego, and never have to worry about Blackouts.

We just pay whatever extra it is a month for him to have that equipment, and also split his Sunday Ticket bill down the middle with him. It works for all parties.

I have a friend who lives in SD who has the Mobile, AL feed, and he's never had to worry about any blackouts because his Dad set him up with this same deal.

EDIT: THE LEGALITY OF THIS IS QUESTIONABLE. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

If anyone wants to send some stuff out to me in Seattle, I'm in.

Good idea.

I was wondering, can a person still buy the dish and receiver at a store and do their own install?

You're out of market, the game wouldn't be blacked out for you.

And the Seahags are in no danger of not selling out.

You still get Sunday Ticket for half the price....or for free if your relative doesn't make you pay.

That was one thing that my friend said. You have to do your own install.

I've moved 20+ times since I bought all my equipment. It's pretty easy to do yourself.

This all started when the shut down the illegal cards. It is called account sharing and it works. Don't ever call them for service calls or anything else. If you want to add channels or something your host must do it.

Is there anything legally that they can do if they found out about someone doing this?

Other than prosecute?

You technically are stealing.

They update/send out new cards occasionally too.
