    Dish First Impressions and Questions

    I had Dish Network installed yesterday. The install went very smooth until the installer tried to activate the new 722. Dish Networks system used to activate the 722 was down. They told us it would be restored in 30 min to 24 hrs. I just laughed. The installer ended up leaving without...

    HD locals

    I am scheduled for a Dish install on Aug 18th. I live in Peoria and am about 125 to 150 miles out from Chicago. If I "moved" to a Chicago address after signing up, will I be close enough to get the HD locals through Dish?

    How do I know when Sky Angel is activated?

    With Voom being shut down, I went ahead and bought a used Dish Network 6000 receiver and have activated it via the Sky Angel website. The website then mentions that the box will be activated in 2-4 business days. So the question is How do I know when Sky Angel is activated? Will the Sky Angel...

    Can I get Sky Angel with a Voom dish?

    My wife and I really would like to get Sky Angel. We currently have Voom as our provider. Voom's satellite is sitting at 61.5, the same as Sky Angel. Would I be able to use the Voom dish to get both Sky Angel and Voom? Would I just need to hook up a Dish receiver and/or add a Dish switch...
