I have a dish network dish that was left behind by an old roomate. My parents have dish network at their farm house with 2 receivers. They recently moved back into their first home and I was wondering if I gave them the dish from my house, and they hook up the receiver from one of the boxes at the first home, would they get reception? They don't want to pay another cable bill since they still have it at the farm house.

All the dish does is pick up the signal from the satellite. It can be put up at any house and used. As long as they have the account in good standing, they can hook it up to there receiver.

Yes it will work. The reason is its not the dishes it the actual receivers WITH the cards in them. As long as you have the proper access cards for each receiver you will be able to get service. The only thing is you just have to check to make sure the billing address is the same and correct for both receivers. Good luck
