Sharing Directv Service Two Homes
Ive read there is an issue with the local channels.
Sharing directv service two homes. There are many people who have a summer and a winter home and make the service address change twice a year. These include dvrs and a normal hd box but they almost always won t give those away for free like they will with the genie and client. However directv will try and sell you a genie and clients. Directv technically has two divisions.
I install the boxes and the system works fine once i tell direct tv that i want to receive local broadcast. Your account is only good for your home location one home location period. The draw back is there is no service at my home in texas. One is for residential installations or homes that are able to directly receive the satellite signal with their own personal dish.
For instance i work in california for half the year and am currently renting a home there. Is it possible to. Set up multiple accounts or set up what dish calls a snowbird account to legally obtain service in each. What you can t do is have some people watching directv in maine and others in florida at the same time that would require two accounts.
The bill remains the same. If he s south facing you can put up another dish if the building allows it. Second you could. We live in different states so would that mean the local channels would be as an example.
Say that you own two homes house a and house b. The clients require the genie to function. I also own a home here in oregon where we spend the other half of the year. But no one wants to have two directv bills right.
One bill two homes. Bring the football season with you to that winter home in arizona or enjoy your favorite mid year shows while you take the family on vacation to that lake house in colorado. The second is for mdu or multiple dwelling units. I want to get a direct tv account 4 receivers and use 2 at my house and 2 receivers at my parents.
I have two homes and presently when i go to the other home in arizona from texas i packed up the boxes and take the main box and two genies to arizona which also has a dish installed. Official irv2 sponsor. All receivers have to have the same service address. We mirror the directv service we have at home and the only additional cost is for the distant networks service 15 per month.
I don t have directv service yet but if i could switch back and forth between the two homes it would certainly be cheaper and less hassle with the cable services i m dealing with. For customers with more than one residence dish has two options available to enjoy service in each location. There are exceptions for using your service in your rv but not at a second location. Both from la even if i live in la and my parents live in michigan.
All genies have a 1t disk and can store 200 hours of hd programing or 800 hours of sd programing. If you have two locations you re supposed to have two. How can it be done. If you have a directtv dish and receiver at both houses with one account and one access card can you take the access card with you when you travel between the homes and use your service at both places.
