    Have all my equipment, just need to hookup and activate. I'm assuming the national Dish Network customer service folks are the right ones to call? Not someone local?

    Self Install / Activation?

    Good to know, I'll be doing the same. Stupid question, but how do they activate the unit? Is there a need for connection to a phone line?
