Activating a used receiver

If I buy a Genie receiver off ebay can I have it activated along with my main receiver. I was told that only one genie is allowed per account.

only 1 genie can be used, anything bought off ebay is technically stolen as they dont sell them

@Constructive No, that does not make it stolen. It’s just still a leased receiver. Regardless, the one genie per account still applies.
