Didn't find a good answer to this questions while searching, so we're in the process of purchasing a weekend cottage and I was getting to thinking about TV service.
I currently have a Dish HD package at my primary residence.
I would like to get TV on the cheap for the cottage since we'll only be there on weekends or a week or two during throughout the year. I see people frequently buying used equipment for system upgrades and it got me to thinking...can I just guy some used equipment and install it at the cottage and have it added to my existing account like it was just another receiver at my home...or is there more to it? Are there more reputable ways to get used equipment than Ebay (or is that not as risky as it sounds)? Any other details I might be missing?
I'm fairly handy, so I'm sure I can figure out installation details...I just don't know a whole lot out all the different equipment options and if there are any compatibility issues, etc.
Thanks.
