Buying used Directv Receivers from Ebay. We already subscribe to Directv with 2 rooms/receivers acti

We want to use the 3 used receivers in our motorhome while camping and in our apartment in another town. The apartment is already wired for Directv and the receivers come with a dish (for the motorhome) and the blue cards.

Can we do this? If so what do we need to do as far as activating these boxes so they work. I really don't want Directv coming to my house and wiring in more rooms.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you buy the boxes off of Ebay, you can activate them by calling DirecTv, but you might need new access cards. They should not have to come out to activate them if you already have the wiring in place and have installed the dish. If I am gettign this correctly you already have 2 receivers and want to purchase a third receiver so you can use any of the three at either your apartment or your motorhome. Okay as long as you have a valid access card for all the directv receivers they will work at any location you have a

DirecTV dish already setup. Here is what I do just so you have an idea.

I had DirecTV setup at my house, my parents wanted to try DirecTV out. So I installed a DirecTV dish at their house. I purchased another DirecTV Tivo Receiver from DirecTV. I then plugged it into my parents house's DirecTV dish. It worked perfectly, as long as it was on my account and I paid for all the receivers it does not really matter where you connect them up at.

Secondly, I have a Extra DirecTV Dish that I have set up on a Tripod. I take that dish with me while camping out in the desert. I take one of my DirecTV Tivo receivers with me on the camping trip and plug it in to the DirecTV Dish. Sometimes I need to make sure that the Dish is pointed in the correct direction of the sky for the ZIP code I am in but it always works perfectly.
