I have authorization to decrypt it in one household at a time, not two (it's called terms of service).
Edit - I like trash can analogies better. I pay for two trash cans at my house in town. I take one of them to my house in the country and leave it there. While I'm at the country house I deposit trash in the can. I leave it out at the road and the trashman empties it. This is considered 'theft of service' since my country house isn't included in that trashmans route. Even though it's the same company and I DO pay for two cans. hopefully you can see how completly stupid it is to call this illegal.
No I don't. Dish Network pays a set fee to each of the right holders to transmit the channel to a single household. The subscriber then pays Dish Network a set fee to recieve the programming in a single household.
None of the additional outlet fee goes to the rights holders of the programming.
If Dish (or Directv) allowed a single account to be recieved in multiple households, they would be in breach of their contracts with the copywrite holders and could be sued and/or lose access to the programming.
better make sure none of your tv's are facing a window. and turn down the volumne. and disconnect the slingboxs.

Ah...but....when the big Music leaches come to town, (B*I A***P and S**C) they'll visit local businesses playing local radio and tell THEM to buy the same rights as the station is already paying! And, they're NOT very friendly. Double dipping? Yep.
If I remember right, there's a message every so often on the radio that says the music is for the sole viewing of their listening audience and not intended for any commercial uses. A business playing it would be a commerical use.
why is it every time one of these threads comes up it turns into a pissing match over it? People have views on it and arent going to change their views just because someone else posts their opposing view.
My dad has Dish. He has one receiver that we take to the lake house when we go. His other receiver stays at home (I'm not unhooking a DVR every time). We're not going to call Dish each time because its the same DMA as home (Minneapolis) so we are still getting the locals we pay for. Nobody else is at home so the other receiver isnt being used (unless he decides to record something). We are not doing anything wrong. We've been doing this for 13 years now. Heck even Charlie himself said to take it to the cabin (but if I remember right he said to keep it there).
Having multiple receivers at multiple locations at the same time is account splitting. Plain and simple
But for folks who take one receiver to the cabin/lakehouse/rv for the weekend and bring it back.....I see no issue.

cuz it really gets under my skin. i pay for two full accounts just so i don't get in trouble. even though it's not possible for me to be in both places at one time.
But the Dish Network "expert" said you must have 2 accounts on that single reciever.

oh god thats right...arguing with Jimmy Long about that (he said I needed two accounts but I only had one receiver so its impossible)....but no that was my account when I had Dish. When I cancelled Dish we just moved that receiver over to dad's account (and upgraded it since then to a 322)
Yeah, that one was so fun. I think you got banned and I got a warning/demerit (for arguing with a mod) on that one.
ya, but being banned there is a badge of honor!!
actually, you CAN have two accounts and one receiver. You change the physical location of that receiver from one account to the other.

yep. 2nd time I was banned there
Toublemaker.
I would think what Iceberg described meets the intent of the contract. If you go outside your intended viewing area, and get your RSN's or even your locals because you are still within the spotbeam, that is where the problem is.
Actually that's still the same account, all you're doing is changing the service address.
JL actually told Ice that he had to have 2 seperate billing accounts on the 1 reciever, which was pretty much impossible. Ice and I pretty told showed him for the idiot that he was. I'm still shocked I didn't get banned with him and only got a demerit.
You need to re-read the post you're citing. A Snowbird account is not two accounts but a single account with two exclusively populated residential locations.
