can you move receiver room to room?

Question

I was wondering if you can move a receiver box to another room or if you have to contact verizon to authorize this (like direct tv).  I tried moving a set top box from our kitchen to a coax hookup in an upstairs bedroom and it wouldn't work.  I just want to make sure this isn't a technical issue.

you are correct.  i went outside to my splitter and 2 coax cables were not connected (obviosly the 2 rooms it wouldn't work in!).  now i feel dumb!
