Conclusion: to use the TV service at another location today, that location must have: a VDSL FTTN port onsite, even if it is just internet. a modem with the IPTV pppoe login. an STB that is activated.
I suspect over time this will get locked down. Cert and mac authentication, per-port custom provisioning and ACLs, etc. Perhaps even tying the STBs loading of keys to the support servers in a specific CO.
reply to ssherwood I didn't know they kept the TV password for themselves. That's really all they need to do to prevent account sharing. There's nothing inherently wrong with (usually temporarily) using your setup at another location, it's sharing with multiple other non-account holders on a possible permanent basis that's the real issue. -- Fiber Optics are the future of high-speed internet access.
