DirecTv Trick I just learned about
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.

I think you are legally allowed to tell them you need it for a Summer Home or something like that.

If not, he'll just get us the receiver and we'll find a Dish elsewhere.

Well the receiver part is easy, all he has to say is he added another TV in his house. As far as the dish...that's a tough one. I still have my old one on my house you can have if you wanted to pay to have it shipped to you, or maybe find one on eBay?

Edit: Scratch that, I forgot I removed mine last fall when I painted.

Make sure you get an elliptical dish with three LNB's or you won't get local channels in most places. Tell them the dish is for your RV.

Directv prosecuted everone they found with illegal cards but I've never heard of even one prosecution for account sharing. I think they would have a hard time making it stick since everything is paid for.

He has a vacation cabin that he wants to install it at, and mirror the new boxes under his main account.

At the worst, they will make you have a year committment for the new box, that's it.

Skip, couldn't DTV start installing RFID chips in their boxes, so that they can ping their locations?

That solves all of this, I am surprised they haven't thought of it yet. Perhaps, they understand that they would lose a lot of subscribers if they did though?

I like the RV idea much better. They frown on two houses.

I'm sure they have some reason for not doing that. I'm sure they have thought of it. They didn't just fall off a turnip truck.

The really sweet deal would be to get someone who still had locals with Chiefs games on a satellite that wasn't a spot beam. I looked into this a couple years back and Springfield was still on a nationwide transponder. I imagine once they converted over to MPEG 4 that probably all changed.

Or you could get D*. Then all you would need is a co-conspiritor.
