Movies and TV DirecTv Trick I just learned about - Page 4

**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.

I wouldn't be talking about it on a message board if it were illegal.

This is the way to go. This is what I do for the Command Center in KC and that's exactly what I told them when I set it up. I need to fire it up next time I'm up there to see which local channels I get as I'd like to skip paying for the NFL Ticket and just take the RV receiver back and forth between KC and Dallas as needed assuming that I can get the KC local channels on the RV receiver.

**Buck** · 08-07-2009, 02:03 PM

So this is what I need to tell them.

1. I need a new reciever and Dish for my RV
2. The Dish needs to have 3 LNBs
3. The receiver needs to have a card in it (skip? do they all come w/ cards?)

Does that sound right?

1. The RV excuse could really work.
2. Yep
3. I believe they all come shipped with cards in them.

I've been away from D* for a year but they should have cards in them. Have the host activate them.

They activate them by, plugging into a phone line or what?
