Is it possible to add a receiver to my account at my father's house behind me?

If your father has a separate address, then no as they are different residences.

 

However if your father's "house" is a guest house or other secondary building on the same property not counted as a separate residence, then yes you can. However you would pay for the install of a separate dish. This would just add the $7 monthly fee for the additional TV. Unless you have the Genie-2 (HS17) then you can't as it is a Client only system, and Clients cannot work unless they are connected on the same cabling as the main box.

No. Your father's house needs to have its own account.
