share dish network account question!

[kimagurealex]

I just checked my cable TV bill and it costs me close to 50 bucks to have basic and extend cable service in the Bay Area. So, I check with the alternative and find that dish network has 120 channels for 29.99 or 180 channels for 39.99 dollars. Now my question is: can I add additional receivers on my dish network account and then just buy and install the extra dish and receivers at my parents'house?

thanks,
Alex

Good question.

Technically possible? Yes. Legal? No

No, but I'd still get Dish over cable in a second if I could get it here.

 

[kimagurealex]

so, the phoneline connect to the receiver won't review the current resident phone number to dish network? or I shouldn't even connect the phone line at all?

In believe the reciever will try and "call home" from the phone line associated from the account. If it cannot, Dish Network will charge you an extra $5 a month. It is possible to "share" the account, but it violates the TOS.
