so technically i only need 2 of the duo receivers to cover all 4 of the tv's in my house... only 2 of my tvs are hd anyways.....

That's correct.

thanks for the input.......

few last questions...... If i just get a basic system, 2 recievers for 4 rooms.... without hd i can upgrade to hd later if i want???

I figure if you start with HD you can't remove it from the plan... because of being in contract...

and also is dishstore.net in california?? like do they ship the stuff out here and i install it myself?? or will they send someone here to install the new wires and dish stuff....
Like i posted above, i want to keep it side by side with my analogue cable and my fta dish....

Depending on what package you sign up for, you will be charged a 2nd tuner fee per month if no phone line is connected to a duo receiver. If you get a DVR you may be eligible to have the fee waived on one receiver if no phone line is available. If you get single boxes, the installer may be able to use your existing cable lines. If you get duo receivers, new cable will probable need to be run.

My advice is to contact a local retailer with a local phone number. If they have an office, stick your head in there and see if their professional. If you call anyone else, your installer will be a random draw of luck. I have been installing for years, and the company that I work for contracts with Dish network to perform their installations. I would not let half of the installers that I work with perform any work at my own home. Dish is a great product, but not worth a hoot if not installed correctly.

I only have 1 phone jack....... Is it possible to just switch the boxes every other day or so to prevent this fee??? Or how about if the box is connected to the internet??? I'd really hate to be penalized because of no phone line downstairs.....

Depending on the receiver model, you may be able to connect them to the internet instead of a phone line.
