    Genie system portability options?

    Hi, I'm considering switching to Direct TV from Dish Network but have a few concerns. Mainly whether I can make it work without too much hassle / cost up at my cabin by simply hauling a receiver from home and connecting it when I arrive as I've been accustomed to this convenience for years...

    Dish 1000.2 HD Turbo question

    I just purchased an HD Turbo 1000.2 turbo dish on ebay that was listed as new & unopened (wink-wink). The dish reflector has a half dozen or so pea size or smaller dents on it. I'm wondering if this will in any way affect the reception or functionality of the dish? Or is it a cosmetic thing? I...

    Any Difference between Turbo HD 1000.2 and a Dish logo 1000.2?

    Are there any differences at all between the Turbo HD 1000.2 and the Dish logo 1000.2? I know they look the same and receive same satellites but before I buy one I'd like to know if there are differences... Thanks

    Dish 1000 series installation question

    I'm just going to do the install, I purchased a satellite finder SF-95B and am wondering if it's a benifit to pick up the optional power cord or if just using the receiver as power supply is just as handy for one install? Is it worth the $5?
