Dish Network "Move"

[dclboro]

A friend of mine lives in Virginia and he wants to get the Ohio sports channels (Fox Sports Ohio & Sports Time Ohio) on the Dish Network. He said that he's heard of doing a "move" to Ohio, but won't Dish Network want to set up his new dish in Ohio for him when he calls them? Please tell me what steps he would have to go through to make this possible so I can inform him. Thank you for your help.


P.S. He will lose his local VA channels if he has to adjust his dish, right?

Do you know if the Ohio spot beam reaches the part of VA he lives in?

Do a search, there are plenty of posts telling you how to move.

Does the Ohio spot beam have to reach VA for Fox Sports Ohio or Sports Time Ohio since they are not local channels such as NBC, ABC, CBS, etc.? They are a part of Dish Network's Mult-Sport Package. If the Ohio spot beam does have to reach Virginia Beach, VA; how do I find out?

For 110, 119, and 129, the transponder is currently set to 13 which I believe is a CONUS Transponder. The area that he wants is under transponder 10 which I believe is a Spot Beam Transponder area. He probably won' t be able to pick up the local channels, right? Or am I wrong? I also saw info on
www.dishchannelchart.com

that makes me think that it will work. Even if the locals (NBC, ABC, CBS, etc.) don't work, Fox Sports Ohio and Sports Time Ohio should work, right? PLEASE HELP ME so I can help my friend. Thank you.

Can anyone PLEASE help????? I would be truely grateful.

Have him try the
multisport pack

. Can see if he can get the channels then. Also, if he "moves" which is pretty much against tos, he will most likely lose his local networks. No reason to have the equipment verification team lock the account for trying to get 2 channels in a not so legitimate way.

equipment verification team

Never heard of that team. What do they do, or how do they verify?

You'll need to set up the account at the correct address first and do the move after its installed!

[Jared Twomey]

if he is already a current customer he just needs to call and say he moved and needs to give them the new address. If they want to send someone out just say that there was already a dish on the house and his reciever is working just fine.
He is probably calling and saying he needs to move, and they are trying to set him up with a "dishmover", which he doesnt need.

I agree with the idea of getting the multi-sport pak though, that way he will still have his local channels

I would also like to 'move' to Cleveland from Erie, Pa. I already have the multi-sport package, but want the Cleveland locals. Are you saying I would have both the Cleveland and Erie locals?
