Get two (or three, or more) boxes, authorize them all, and keep up the
payments for the extra boxes. Ship them to your friends and relatives.
All they will then need is a dish, which can be gotten cheaply. They
can be in another state, Canada, pretty much anywhere in the hemisphere,
and watch whatever they want. Tell them not to hook up the boxes to a
phone line. As a bonus, they can catch a few pay-per-views, until the
box fills up, for free. If they ever hook the box to a phone line,
however, it will call home and the PPVs will then be charged to you.

thanks. I noticed that some of the small print says that if you keep the
receivers "hooked" into the phone line you don't pay the extra 5 bucks a
month. So you're saying once they're "authorized" you can pretty much cheat
the system? haha...sweet!

I have an extra small dish, altho I don't think I have any of the cords for
it (or whatever the hell is needed). Does it matter if it's not the same
company?

Whilst ilegal, there's a way.
Both recievers have to be hooked up and installed (and paid for) at the
one address.
No pay perview as then they need to be connected the same phone line at
the one address.

Then, YOU need to remove one reciever AND aim and install a second dish
at the second location yourself.
