Ideas needed

[cdb8457]

I am currently thinking about joining my friend with his Directv. I have done this in the past, but I dont worry about local channels and ect. My question and concerns are the LOS, mounting or portable mount, dvr, and the dish.

It has always taken my a few hours for some reason to set it up by not having a signal finder, and me sitting there yelling back and fourth to my wife to see if there is signal. The apt. building I see a lot of possibly off set satellites in my area (dishes pointing through the buildings?) I am not too sure how that works, and does it take a special dish? I believe I have a double lnb slimline and still have the small box that gives it power.

Mounting- Would somthing like this work due to me moving in a while....
or are there better alternatives?

Can I buy a DVR and then use one of their cards and have them activate it and not plug it in to the internet/phone line.

I know this might very noobish, but tried my best to look things up before I posted.

When you say "joining my friend with Directv", do you mean sharing his account?

Sounds like account stacking to me!!!

Looks like a good old fashioned thief here. We don't condone stealing service (account sharing) here.

I am sorry, I wasn't aware that this site was against it. Just curious, whats your reasoning your against it? I know its plain cheap, but the bank (Wife does want to pay the amount).

Account stacking means two different people/homes are using one account. It's called stealing, and it's also against the terms of service in the agreement you get when you sign up.
