FYI , they are not “redirecting the beam” ...... each dish is properly directed at their satellites and they simply activate or deactivate the box in use probably by their unique MAC address .......

save it until it snows, then use it as a sled

Yes Dish network will allow that, you have to tell them to disconect the address and connect the other one, we had receivers for both, just had to make a phone call in advance to connect the system.

Yes, we have 1 account and bring our boxes & remotes with us

Good to know, we moved here a couple of months ago and have a direct TV dish on side of our house gathering dust.

If you can remove it safely take to the curb. I had a similar situation and tried to get them to come and get it they said they would charge me to come and get it to recycle it. They do not reuse them. They do not want it.

Yes you can do that. We do. Good way to save money, that's why I think people want them. As long as you have a box to bring with you.

Yes! I take my boxes back to Missouri with me every year then call them to turn on local channels, very easy

You can get Direct TV anywhere if you have the boxes and a dish or motorhome dome;we throw our boxes into our motorhome and head to Northern NY for 2 months (family campground) then to other states visiting friends/family and get Direct TV wherever we go either off dome on top of motorhome or if under trees we pull out the dish.

Be careful...it is nearly impossible to get it out of the ground. Mine is permanent with a bush around it.

We installed a dish on our home in the Villages. We just took the box back and forth and plugged it in. DTV doesn't care where you are. Never paid any extra. Got the dish from ebay.

It is not on the roof. It is attached to a short (3' tall?) pole next to our AC unit on the side of the house.

We had DirecTV both in PA & TV for 2 yrs. while we were snowbirds. It worked well. When we moved permanently in 2018, I clearly explained our situation, returned boxes in PA and transferred the account to FL; however, the PA office canceled everything. We had a royal mess and had NO TV for nearly a month while they "worked on it!" We finally canceled everything and went to streaming. Would you believe DirecTV (bought up by AT&T) still billed us and even sent it to collections when we refused to pay! I'm glad I kept records of everyone I talked with, along with dates, times and their badge numbers, especially the ones who had apologized and said there was no payment due. Collections asked for the info and said we would not hear from them again! Be very careful to spell out exactly what you want them to do and keep good records!
