Won't the receiver eventually shut down if it can't call out? I was doing something similar for a couple years, my mother in law had DTV so I had her order the ST and I went over to her place every Sunday and borrowed a receiver and hooked it up to the dish that was on my house from when I previously had DTV, but I seem to remember that it needed to "call in" on occasion so I always brought it right back.
