The service is activated to each recvr, not whatever room you have it set up in.

As for the $5 fee, you'll pay that regardless, if you have a OWNED recvr, your charged for a Additional recvr fee (outside of the first one, thats free).
If you are leasing the recvr the $ 5 is a LEASE fee.

Btw, you cannot have a splitter between the dish and the recvr. It will cause errors when changing channels.

You CAN turn off recvrs in the rooms you don't need and in turn eliminate the $ 5 fee for each of the recvrs you decide to turn off.

I suspect what he said is a splitter is actually the ground block.
