Direct TV question…
My sister had direct tv she moved and left her dish. I moved into her old place and my mother has 4 direct tv receivers in her house. She has offered to give me one so I dont have the monthly bill coming in. My question is will I be able to purchase PPV movies and events with that receiver even though its on a different dish? I know for sure I can watch regular tv.
Sure, the receiver doesn’t know where it is physically. As long as the dish antenna is aimed to the proper satellites and the account for that receiver is paid in full, it should work. You will probably need a phone line attached to the receiver for purchase PPV.
Remember, the satellites use spot beams that cover geographic areas for local stations. So, if you are not in the same city/state as you mom, the locals may not work. But all the national stuff should be OK.
I hope this helps. Please return and select a Best Answer from all of those submitted.
