    Cheapest way to get Dish installed with no contract?

    Since you already have a crimper and fittings I would do the self install. You can pickup cable staples or clamps real cheap at lowes or home depot. The clamps with long screws will probably work better on the siding. Don't over tighten the screws! The dish should be alright. I've never seen...

    free dish any advice?

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I think we are going to try the controlled fall method if there's enough room. The view from google maps doesn't look good. The yard is very small and narrow. I'm going over today to assess the situation. How heavy would you guess the dish to be? I'm not sure...

    Equipment exchange 301 for 311

    On friday I came home and found a dish network box sitting on my porch. Opened it up and they sent me a dp311 with equipment exchange instructions. At first I thought they're trying to scam me into the receiver lease fee. But I think they're going 8psk soon, and trying to keep customers from...
