The basic receiver is OK for a second receiver or for someone that doesn't watch a lot of TV.
Mine came with an access card & was easily swapped out.
The person that wrote he moves his box from room to room you simply need to purchase a powermid, sold here or at [...].
You place one powermid transmitter in the room where you want to watch TV & the powermid receiver by the directv receiver. The powermid changes an IR signal to RF so you can change channels.

Mine did not come with the card. Call Direttv and they'll send you one for $20. I knew the service wasn't free. It's always been $5 per receiver per your contract. If all your rooms are wired, and it's convenient, you can move the receiver. It works fine.

These boxes seem to work fine for standard definition viewing. We have 3 of these and have not had any issues with them. They provide several different ways to hook them to a TV/Monitor and have an easy setup for the remote.
