OT: Satellite TV Tech.??

Not so much a tech question but, is it possible to get a plan with two receivers then buy a second dish to use the second receiver in another (geographic) location.

Perfectly fine. As long as your subscription is up to date.

There is NO way that they can distinguish how you are pulling down the signal.

Take it from a SATCOM tech. A signal comes into the reciever, and the HU card, or H card, or whatever they are using now. As long as it is programmed to be able the decode signal is comming down the pipe, it matters no what antenna you are using to pick up the signal.

I believe it is stealing though!

I didn't know if they would program the cards/receiver to only take the signal from one satellite dish. As for stealing It's not like the service isn't being paid for, it's exactly the same as using it in two rooms, just two rooms 90 miles apart.

Like Andy said, there is no way they will be able to find out where you're pulling the signal from. I know, I used to program the H & HU cards. But DTV or the Dish network will consider this illegal and stealing because it was meant for 1 address not multiple...
