I know that if it were me I wouldn't be able to provide the proper documentation needed with the property name and the *C account being in the same name. I wonder how they would handle that

Then it's called account sharing which is not allowed. *C will not help you in that situation.

"Then it's called account sharing which is not allowed"

If your spouse owns the house, and you subscribe to SC, is this account sharing ?

Then I guess you also need to provide a marriage certificate.

What if your not married

The $49 is a service fee, not an installation fee. How far exactly can a tech drive in one day... Canada to Mexico?

Then you better get hitched, if you want "home away from home".

Seriously though, a couple that's not married but own multiple houses together in different names? It would appear that you are in fact account sharing. But, you can plead your case with *C, let us know how it goes.

SC is very popular in Mexico - along the Caribbean Ocean.

I know some people that have it and it works well with the SC dish (legal). For BEV, Dish & Direct a much larger dish is required.

I do not know if the HD works here - but, I hope to find out this week.

Is there a way to purchase the SC DVR530 HD receiver with going through SC?

Because, I do not think I need the other parts. I will probably use a 1.1 meter round dish.

How many SATS (#s) does SC use?

More questions later.

As it turns out, I am only a 5 min from Paamul (to the south).

BEV worked fine here on an FTA box with a 1.8 meter dish. N3 ended that for now.

Anyway, I plan to visit Paamul this week and confirm the HD reception.

There are installers in this area that can do SC.

With DN here (again a 1.8 meter dish), HD is available (20-30 channels) but not the major USA Networks in HD. It is for that reason I want SC (can get West & East coast on SC).

No one mentioned places other that SC to get a DVR530 HD receiver - but, seems I can just get them from SC - since I am a Canuck.

I activated my second location in November. There was no $49 fee.

Help! I am new to this. I have what may appear to be stupid questions. Please talk to me like I'm a 12 year old. I am going to get SC at home in Canada because I want to able to use it in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I want to take and install a dish from Canada ( because I was quoted $400.00 plus installation by a local installer there). I don't need HD or french in Mexico so I assume I will only need to pick up one satellite(?). What size dish will do the trick there, I read about LMB's but don't know much about it do I need a single LMB or a double is there different ones that I would need. If there are already threads out there point me to them please.
Thanks

You can bring down the second dish and install it in PV. The second LNB is needed for the second satellite. You will need direct wiring to your satellite dish if you want to use the second satellite. You can get an inexpensive 60cm dish here if you only want one satellite.

Thanks, Keith. You've answered all my questions. All I will need is a 60cm dish with a single LMB.

Incorrect - you need at least a 75 cm dish. In some areas of Mexico, separate 1.2m dishes are required.
