There is a lot that DTV does not share but I'd guess that not allowing additional receivers on a Genie 2 account it technically valid. The Genie 2 supports 7 video streams and 2 can be 4K. That is a lot of bandwidth on the coax and probably 19 channel slots (7 for each 4K). Having another receiver on the coax/WiFi might just be incompatible or just not reliable.
Clearly another receiver in the RV with it's own dish does not interfere with the Genie 2. However you are now and always have been in violation of DTV policy which prohibits sharing on one account.
DTV has no way to know if you are using both the Genie 2 and RV receiver at the same time but they can disable other receivers on the Genie 2 account. So take the Genie 2 and client(s) with you in the RV.
charwan - Did you realize that using a receiver in your RV on your sons account was in violation of DTV policy?
Scenario: DTV installed the Genie 2 and clients. There were no other receivers connected. Hence cancel all of the unused receivers.
A DTV tech came to my house and installed my son's H24 receiver in my MH. If it had been wrong or he was not supoosed to, don't you think he would have said something or refused to have done it. So I am now sharing my son's account. We both have DTV Genie I and would cost for the receiver would be the same on my account or his so we or I'm not cheating anyone. "THEY INSTALLED HIS H24 RECEIVER IN MY MH FOR ME". Now what's wrong with that.
