Are both disks the same. �Would one box work with the other's dish?
Would the box work if he climbed up on the house and changed the dish
back to Direct TV?


direct and dish try to require constant phone line connection of all
receivers, unplugged too long the provider can turn the box off. of
course its theft of service, but you already know that.

if both locations have DSL you can slingbox the sat feed to the other
location
