I'm moving into an apartment 20 miles from home, and my parents have DirecTV. My dad said to take my box with me to my apartment and I can still get their dish service there (free to me since my parents pay the bill). Is that possible? Can I be 20 miles away, use my parents service on my box in my apartment? And if this doesn't/won't work, can someone explain why? It seems like it would!|||As long as the dish itself is aimed at the correct spot in the sky, you should have no problems with the relocation. For a change in location of only 20 miles the compass heading (azimuth) and angle of elevation won't change measurably. If you were to relocate several hundred miles away, the Az-El settings will be different, and you might not be able to receive some of the local channels, but the national feeds would all be there.
Don|||Are you connecting the box to a DirecTV satellite dish at your new place? If not, then it surely won't work. A pro sat installer will have to confirm whether or not you can hook up a recvr with a valid card to another dish though.|||I believe it would work. My Brother has a Built-In TV in his dash in his Escalade and he uses our parents Directv service to get Satellite Programming in his Escalade. So im not sure why you couldnt do the same.
