But.... We're talking about DirecTV here, right? The satellite service?
Each receiver box has to have its own satellite receiver. There are dish hardware pieces that hold multiple receivers (the pointy piece that sticks out in the middle of the dish, in other words), but for each receiver, there has to be a physical satellite antenna receiver point.
In fact, my DirecTV DVR has two tuners (so it can record two things, or watch one and record another) and it needed a double-receiver dish. One box, TWO receiver points on the dish.
It's not like cable. You can't just hang a bunch of TVs or tuner boxes off the wire and get it to work. Something's going on with YOUR receiver. Has to be. Am I nuts here, Tully?
I understand not annoying the management, but I think I'd still talk to them about this. If your water came out rusty, you'd talk to them, right? If the air conditioner was blowing hot? How is this any different, if it's a "utility" that they "pay for"?
