Second Sat TV Antenna

I am a Canadian subscriber to Bell satellite TV.

I have a VuQube 3000 In-Motion antenna and two Bell standard satellite receivers (non HD).

We spend five summer months on our boat (Bayliner 3258) and five winter months in our motor home (Monaco Cayman 37 PDQ). I've been moving the antenna and receivers from one to the other at the end of each season.

Lately we've begun using the motor home for a few weeks in the summer and I think it's time to purchase a second VuQube 2000 and leave it on the motor home.

Would Bell require another account for this, or do they concern themselves with a second antenna for the same user?

I don't use Bell at our condo, just on the boat and RV.

Only your receivers are identified to the satellite provider. You don't need to do anything if you continue to move your receivers to the location you want to use them. You will only have to deal with the satellite company if you add a receiver.

I am not familiar with your Bell, but Dish does not know what antenna you are using nor where you are, they only track receivers. I use the same receiver with different antennas at the cabin, in the RV and in the stick home.

Since satellite TV is only an incoming signal the only way they know where your receiver or antenna is would be if you tell them or connect it to a phone line. I don't see any reason for you to deal with them at all as long as you are paying the bill.
