New reciever?

[tehsilverwrx]

My parents have dish network in the living room. Can I just buy another reciever on ebay and hook it up in my room?

Yes, but you will have to run a wire from the dish or the switch straight to your room. It will also cost 5 dollars per month.

Also don't forget to ask your parents first

if you are purchasing the unit on Ebay the only thing you may want to watch out for is if there is an outstanding balance on that unit. if the previous owner didnt pay their bill and you purchase the equipment you will have to pay the balance before they will activate it for you.

if its a 522 or 625 on e bay make certain it was never previously activated. leased boxes can never be activated again.
