We recently bought a condo down by the beach. I am wondering if I can take the directv receiver from one of my extra bedrooms at my home and set it up in the condo? Is this gonna be ok with directv or is this a violation to their ToS? Is there a way to password protect the receiver so a weekend renter can not rent movies on my account?

you can move the reicever back and forth but TECHNICALLY you can't leave it there permanently
do people do it? yes
you can set a password on it

If your intention is to leave it there so your renter can use it, then you need to get a second Directv account for that location.
It would be enough of a violation to cost you big bucks if Direct TV finds out you have renters using your account while you are using your account at home. It's called theft. Probably no jail time, but could cost you thousands. You make the call.
Its your call. Is it right? No Will you get caught? Probably not.
You can password protect the receiver.

It's not ok. But go ahead and do it anyway. They will never know.
Both Dish and Directv would just be thrilled if customers which have second homes would all just be honest and let the company know they have a second home in which they intend on using satellite tv. This so the satellite company can compel the customers to buy a second subscription.
In your original question you asked " Is there a way to password protect the receiver so a weekend renter can not rent movies on my account?"
That makes me think that you will occasionally have renters so we answered your question and said yes you should password protect.
Will the Beach house recvr be used at the same time the Home recvrs will, be used ?
I too thought you had renters.

We take our second DVR to our mountain town home all of the time. One time we even called DirecTV when we had an issue and told them we are currently using it in our second home. They had no problem with us doing this and even helped me resolve our problem.

Now if you ask people on DBSTalk, they will tell you that what I did was illegal.
