which can be considered theft of services.
You think?....
I know several elderly Mom and Dads using their kids DIRECTV account for their only TV service other than OTA...
I thought about doing that myself one time trying to save some eating monies here... Everything still belongs to the kids at their home based address and is properly accounted for on the DirecTv account...
Actually my next door neighbor here is doing this as well. His kids live three or four houses down the street here haha... I used to feed him a 50-foot drop from my Cable TV/Internet connection until his kids moved into the neighborhood.

Yes, I do think. The use of a receiver in an RV is perfectly legal as long as you are the tenant of that home and the RV is yours. As I mentioned, folks are doing it but that doesn't make it right. We break the law everyday. When we don't get caught we sometimes make the incorrect assumption that it must be OK.
Cable TV is exactly the same but a bit more difficult. Dropping a cord to the next door neighbor is also theft and it is much easier for the cable companies to detect these days.
