    1. I own 2. I was under the impression that D* provides training/certification for installing the SWM LNB's, if I hand him one and say "Use this", he may refuse no?

    I was told it was a system update they were going through at the time. Install is scheduled for this Sunday. They said I'd be getting a R22 and their newest LNB. I don't know what that means, but I hope they have the quirks worked out.

    Eastern Arc Dish Info & Install Guide

    FYI....I have been told by 3 different CSR that eastern arc is not available currently at my ADDRESS. I'm in the NW suburbs of Chicago (one of the first DMA's). So although they list them, not everyone will be covered in them.

    Eastern Arc Dish Info & Install Guide

    I'm scheduled to be installed this Saturday, the current order is for a 1000.2 and 722, but they told me to call on the 20th if I wanted to go on EA, as the part number or whatever for the 1000.4 dish wasn't in their system yet?
