DISH without a receiver - how is this possible?

You can get them pre set up and with minimum cabling to do except the home runs to monitor locations.
18 wheeler comes and you need a small screw driver for adjustment sometimes after placement. They are close enough when they arrive to be called "plug n play".

The detail that the web page doesn't detail is the five figure cost.

=They speak.. They learn.
However; that website ? Good people.

Wonder what the stir would be if a per channel price list was vivid for all to see considering MDU and non bundling.

When you guys refer to "receiver", it's not a 311 type receiver or anything, right ? It's a specialized "box" or multiple boxes that contains multiple tuners, I would presume.

311s or 211s now more then likely

Remember that the big question was how someone could do such a system in their home.

You ignore that having an MDU setup carries with it the requirement of contracting for MDU service.

ViP222s were the hot commodity until they became scarce.

Just a FYI.
There's a HOME ' bout 10 miles from here with a pdi based D rack in it.
No contract ( maintained or other wise).
Needed? No
Just is.

Oh.... and not 5 figures either but 4.

No ( short answer)
Simple basic 1 tuner bos)

More than likely the system is analog, with a receiver and modulator for each channel.

I doubt they have a dish smart box as those systems start around $40,000, and even if they have the money I wouldn't install that garbage anyways as it puts a dish watermark on all the channels to get around the encryption restrictions.

Two ways you can tell what type of system this is..

1) look at the room count. If it's a 20-60 room facility it's likely SD as an HD system would be more cost effective to put a receiver in every room.

2) look at the channel numbers. If you see 2,3,4,5,6 then it's likely SD. anything like 2.1 2.2 3.1 3.2 then it's digital.

Yes Claude, let the darkness consume you. You'd make a very good Sith.

The number I heard wasn't that high, but it was certainly well into the five figure range.
