Legal/Sharing Directv with neighbor question

Does anybody know if it is legal/acceptable to share directv services with neighbors? Here's the situation....

I just moved in next door in a town house with some really good friends of mine. They have Directv and I have nothing yet. They have a couple of empty slots on their multiswitch. Would it be legal/acceptable to buy 2 receivers, pay the $5.00 monthly charge on them, and use them at my house, while I split the bill with my friend?

I seem to think it is not allowed, but Directv does make an extra amount of money on the receivers, so its not like I would be hacking or doing anything really illegal here.

It is against DirecTV's User policy to do what you are asking.

I have to serach and find the exact working, but since it is a different "household", then it viloates the mirroring section of the policy.

Now, you can certainly use the dish and multiswitch, but you can not legally pay just the mirroring fees.
