    Question on SWM install

    I have one cable from the dish location to the box with the other cables. this is from an old dish network install. All the cables are under the siding, so a SWM install would work best. I will just have to see what the tech says. I could buy the SWM LNB and install later, and just have them...

    The only thing they told me about the dish is, it is a kaku3. As far as the receivers I am getting one HD DVR and one standard and I have one H20-100 a friend gave me. They didn't give me any model numbers. And yes all the cables go to one box on the outside of the house. Thanks for all...

    Lease a 942 ? Existing Sub

    I was a dish sub years ago, and they let me lease a 942 as a returning sub. Now here's the kicker. I was a current SBC dish sub. I guess Dish Network doesn't know who's a SBC Dish Network sub. When I called SBC to cancel I was on the phone for 40 min. getting bounced back and forth trying to...
