Yes you can do that, but Dish does not like it. If you have the same exact dish setup then a check switch should not have to be performed.

Let's be more specific lest anyone get the wrong idea:

I know but it would always come home with me and I also have a camper that I would like to learn how to take my box with me if I bought another dish without having to pay for a box that is only used occasionally so I thought the method might be the same

I'm just making sure that you understand that what you propose is a violation of the Residential Customer Agreement that you're engaged in.

Many have rationalized that they are either not bound by the agreement or that it doesn't matter and that is up to them.

Thanks no harm intended

you'll be okay. your not really splitting your account between two houses. you could invite them over to watch it so its technically the same. leaving it there for a month or more would be account packing.. but really, its not a huge deal

thats right. Lots of us do take a receiver to the cabin/camper/lakehouse/cottage/whatever you call it for the weekend. Been doing it for 10 years now and have had ZERO issues

Just like you like to spew that line in every post that is like this I'll spew mine
