Installation at second house?

Would DirecTV allow me to install a receiver and dish at a second home, but include it as part of my account at my primary residence? How have others with vacation homes or similar handled this in the past?

Would a cable company install their service without charging you for a second account!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be a violation of terms of service, just call and ask them.
No, the accounts are per address.
Yup, have to get two different accounts. The good thing is, they allow 4 suspends per account, instead of just 2 for the one account
I'm not one to jump to say, "do a search", but in this case, this situation has been discussed (numerous times, I think) and there is likely information in those threads that will answer your questions. Maybe do a search for "vacation home" or something like that.
I have two accounts one billing address, thats as good as it gets. I suspend the second account for the winter.

I simply used movers connection and had the second dish and new receiver installed at my summer residence and it is still on the same one billing. Yes, DirecTV should allow you to do that. If I had it done, no reason why you can't.

Thats probably the best and most legal idea on this.
The way it works for me. I have one account, but transfer my service address between two locations. When I'm going to be at the mountain home, I call and have them switch the service address. When I come back down the hill, I have them switch it back.

As long as you only have service on in one location at a time, you'll be fine when it comes to TOS.
