legality of having multi-room dishnetwork

[Pepsei]

If a person has an in-law's suite which is a stand-alone "shack" in the back of the main house, does that count as another room for a multi-room install for dishnetwork?

how about the next door if it is owned by the same owner? using the same dish with a longer cable?

or a house owned by the same owner 6 miles down the road with another dish?

definitely?

It's dishnetwork who cares. They're screwing you over just by cheating you into watching terrible tevlevision programming so it shouldn't matter if you add a couple of connections. I doubt they even care anyways.

looks like they do audit people who have multiple receivers, they'd call you and ask you to read off the location id. it's going to be hard for me since I don't have a landline.

seems like people who cram multiple families in the same residence would save by only paying for one bill.

in the past for Canadians, they have options for people with trailers to take their receiver anywhere they want.

1. You don't have to have a landline, but they charge you extra for not.

2. You could consider the in-law apartment part of the same residence, depending on the state. Up here, to count as a separate residence, it needs it's own sewage and water main, as well as its own entrance that doesn't go through the main house.

3. Dish wouldn't care, unless you were renting it out. Even then just claim it's the same house, they wouldn't care.

4. If there's a separate address, like condos or multiple apartments in the same building, then you'd have to get multiple hookups (different accounts).

5. You have to have a physical address here in the US to get a dish. Doesn't matter if you have a camper or not, if you don't have a physical address somewhere (house, apartment, something) they won't let you buy it. No Canadians allowed.
