The true idiot is the one that assumes that because you can do something that it is allowed. The reasoning person reads the agreements and contracts and finds that relocating their receivers is prohibited.
You just don't get it.
It is a fundamental right in this country to do what you wish with your personal property and a Colorado corporation cannot contravene that right by any means.
If they want to quit doing businesses with you because you offend their feeling of omniscience by doing something they don't like, they can do that. But quit trying scare forum members into obeying the will of
The Legal Gods of Echostar.
Use some common sense. The fine print on service contracts is ALWAYS written to put the vendor in the superior position. But that doesn't mean that courts around the country don't routinely throw out silly language like this and cut to the fundamental elements of such agreements to do justice.
Blockbuster comes to mind when they collected hideously large fees from customers who signed rental agreements supposedly agreeing to be "fined" if they failed to return tapes on time .They lost their battle in
several courts and were ordered to compensate their customers to the tune of millions of dollars.
Not to mention that most states have consumer protection laws that trump any contract language deemed to be unreasonably burdensome on the customer while
not causing any damage to the vendor. And just as an aside,
how is Dish damaged by me moving my receiver?
And PROHIBITING the movement of a persons personal property is unreasonable if not silly on it's face.
Please, please, just stop it!
By the way, do you still have all the tags on your pillows and mattresses?
