Can I take my hd24-200 reciever to temporarily watch tv at a friends house?
I will be housesitting for a friend and will be extremely bored without my DirecTV. At one time he had DirecTV service with the same HD DVR as I have. All of his stuff is still connected. Can I replace his existing HD DVR with my HD DVR that I pay ungodly sums of money for? It seems to me it should be possible since it would be possible to watch it through my phone if I was able to connect my phone to his TV. And no I do not want to watch it on my little 5 and 1/2 inch phone screen.

That would be H24 or HR24 as there is no HD24.
If your friend had the exact same model and same cabling setup, then as long as there is not current service there it should work. Service for RSNs, locals, and taxes you pay are for a single physical address. But if you are going to be there a couple weeks or so it doesn't really become an issue.
The DirecTV app doesn't allow connecting phone to TV. This is to prevent people from having full service at a 2nd household as violates how the service is regulated by the FCC to the physical service address as mentioned above.
