Movies and TV DirecTv Trick I just learned about - Page 6

**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.

Buc,

If you know someone who has superfan, they can watch all the games online. Just get their account username and password and you can watch the Chargers games.

It's not worth getting shit over.

**Buck** · 08-07-2009, 05:49 PM

Yeah, I just reported this thread to the mods. Not sure they want this stuff on their board. We'll see if it gets locked up...I dont think my relative has SuperFan...oh well I guess I'll just drive to LA to watch Charger games this year.

Really?

I've got Superfan.

**Buck** · 08-07-2009, 05:56 PM

I think if they could track where your receiver is, they could track where you are logging on to watch Superfan from.

**Skip Towne** · 08-07-2009, 06:06 PM

There is nothing illegal about this. You aren't stealing anything. D* doesn't like it but they can't prosecute it.

**Buck** · 08-07-2009, 06:11 PM

Pestilence and Flopnuts deleting posts...

Something fishy about that.

I wasn't positive. I appreciate the heads up on it.

Jesus Christ dude, you are paranoid. I'd do this again in a heartbeat if I knew someone with Directv.

Correct. If they could prosecute it you would be reading about it in the paper. It's been going on for at least 5 years.

I was doing it back in 2000-01.

I don't think they would care about that. I don't see how they could IP trace that and shut it down when people can say they were logging in at a relative or a friend's house - just as long as they aren't logged in twice.

So could you just order DTV to a friends address in KC, say you're doing a self install, get your friend to ship the package on to you and install it in another city all the while picking up KC locals to catch the Chiefs games without paying for Sunday Ticket?

Let me know if I'm way off on this.

Param · 08-07-2009, 08:31 PM

I might be wrong, but can't you just use a slingbox to get the Chargers game from your friend?
