I'm not so sure paying with a cryptocurrency will help much in this case. Every streaming device has an IP address associated with it, which means when push comes to shove, a busted reseller will almost certainly give up this information to DISH in exchange for leniency. From there, all it will take is a subpoena to your ISP and they will get your name and address of service and voila, the demand letters can go out as usual.

Too bad. Rather than paying a small fortune to Charlie and helping to fund his retirement, folks who are in this bind should seriously start looking at installing a C band home satellite TV system as an alternative to these silly bit starved streaming services which are constantly buffering, freezing and going down after every electronic counter measure from DISH/DTV. Just imagine, a big dish that delivers razor sharp images at the highest resolutions possible, no buffering, no black screens and no monthly subscription fees to worry about. Always on when you want to watch TV! But most importantly, all owners/operators/sellers of C band satellite systems are protected under the law by statute 605 (b) from any legal harassment. There is no legal protection for those engaged in streaming of unauthorized communications (e.g. DISH/DTV programming), which is why Charlie can sue you under statute 605 (a). Don't believe the garbage on the internet that streaming is a "grey" area or that it is different from "downloading" and so on. Every single DISH lawsuit is filed under 605 (a), which has been on the books since 1933, way before the internet even existed.

Moral of the story is don't do anything illegal and/or stupid and you'll be o.k. and then you don't have to worry about stuff like this. When people do illegal IPTV or they do illegal card share type stuff that can lead right back to the end user and if they take you to court you really don't have a leg to stand on. I ditched DirecTV for good a few years ago when I got my c-band system and combined with the motorized KU dish there is more than enough content to keep me happy. To stream content thru grey or black market right to your TV is dumb and it could cost you dearly.
10' Tek C-band dish, 1.2 meter KU band dish, ASC1 mover, Octagon/Zgemma/Edison dual band STB's. Running OpenPli on all.
