Smart Card(s), remote control(s), satellite antenna(s), and low noise block converter(s) with
integrated feed(s) (collectively, "Equipment").
B.Additional Tuners and Receivers.
We may choose to allow you to place additional receivers
on your account. If we allow you to do so, each additional receiver will be authorized to receive
the same Services as your initial receiver, subject to the limitations of your television equipment.
All of your receivers must be located at the same residence and continuously connected to the
same land-based telephone line and/or broadband home network. If you wish to receive
Services at two different residential locations, you must open a separate account for each
location, unless otherwise specifically authorized by Dish Network. You may not directly or
indirectly use a single account for the purpose of authorizing Services for multiple DISH Network
receivers that are not all located in the same residence and connected to the same land-based
telephone line and/or broadband home network. If we later determine that you did, we may
disconnect your Services and, in addition to all other applicable fees, you agree to pay us the
difference between the amounts actually received by us and the full retail price for the Services
authorized for each DISH Network receiver on your account.
C. Smart Cards.
Receiver(s) are equipped with a conditional access card ("Smart Card")
inserted into a slot or otherwise installed in such receiver. Not all receivers with a Smart Card
slot require a Smart Card for proper authorization. Smart Cards remain the property of DISH
Network at all times and must be returned to us upon our request. Smart Cards are not
transferable. Your Smart Card will only work in the DISH Network receiver to which it was
assigned by DISH Network. If you report to our customer service center that your Smart Card
has been lost, damaged, defective or stolen, we will replace it, unless there is evidence of
unauthorized tampering or modification, and a Smart Card Replacement Fee will apply. In
addition, in order to minimize downtime for your Equipment, DISH Network will, upon your
request, deliver a replacement Smart Card to you via overnight delivery, in which case an
Overnight Delivery Fee will apply.
D. PVR/DVR.
DISH Network's personal video recorder/digital video recorder ("PVR/DVR")
products allow you to record programming in digital format. Total available recording time varies
depending on your receiver and the nature of the programs being recorded. DISH Network does
not guarantee access to or recording of any particular programming, or that any such
programming will not be deleted from your PVR/DVR product. Most programming is the
copyrighted material of the third party that supplies it; is protected by copyright and other
applicable laws; and may not be reproduced, published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed
without the written permission of the third party that supplied it (except as permitted by the "fair
use" provisions of the U.S. copyright laws).
E. Telephone/Broadband Connection.
To optimize the operation of your Equipment, you must
continuously connect each DISH Network receiver on your account to the same land-based
telephone line and/or a broadband home network. Failure to connect each receiver to the same
land-based telephone line and/or a broadband home network may result in interruption or
disconnection of Services. We may charge you a TV2 Receiver Connection Fee for each dual-
tuner receiver that is not connected to the same land-based telephone line and/or a broadband
home network.
F. Receiver Alterations.
DISH Network may, through periodic downloads, alter the software,
features and/or functionality in your DISH Network receivers; provide data and content to PVR/
DVR products; store and remove data and content on the hard drives of PVR/DVR products; and
send electronic counter-measures to your DISH Network receivers. DISH Network will use
commercially reasonable efforts to schedule these downloads to minimize interference with or
interruption to your Services, but shall have no liability to you for any interruptions in Services
arising out of or related to such downloads. DISH Network may from time to time cease
supporting one or more DISH Network receiver models.
G. Proprietary Components and Software.
DISH Network receivers and Smart Cards contain
components and software that are proprietary to DISH Network and its licensors. You agree that
you will not try to reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble, nor will you tamper with or
modify, any software or hardware contained within any receiver or Smart Card. Such actions are
strictly prohibited and may result in the termination of this Agreement, disconnection of your
Services and/or legal action.
