    Anyone know if DTV will install an HR24 with a Genie?

    I do a lot of extra lines for free it just depends on the complexity of it. I mean the problem with that is if you do a bunch of stuff for free, at the end of the day all you made was friends lol

    I understand your reasoning. let them install the minis and call back later saying you own the hr24, which you do, and say you want to reactivate. they can do that. it won't need any extra equipment. it'll work on the system they put in as is. if you want a 5th line run, we aren't suppose to do...

    yeah not surprised. can it wait a few months? I mean I know they say free install up to 4 boxes. is it that it would be your 5th? what do you need that particular receiver for? is it essential? I mean, it's really none of my business, but they tend to stand hard on charging for a 5th box.

    oh you mean brand new install. yeah they might. I disagree with it since it's an older box. not like they don't have thousands they don't know what to do with. they almost refuse to install anything other than genie stuff. don't know why. used to be if your credit was bad, all you got was the...

    SWM multiswitch question

    you are welcome to do that if you choose. after a few hours and one or two headaches you'll prob have them working (channels coming in and all). problem is without the correct equipment to peak and align the dish, your overall signal will be terrible. you'll end up constantly losing channels in...

    it's highly likely it's a dish alignment issue. The 99 and/or the 103 sats are likely out of alignment. those pull hd. the standard box works bc it only looks for the 101 and 119 sats. also, when a dish goes out of alignment, the two hd sats are the first to lose signal/channels due to the...

    SWM multiswitch question

    if you are dropping an hddvr receiver, you'll end up with 7 tuners and won't need a swm multiswitch. however regardless of the scenario, the technician will put in whatever is needed so you need not worry.
