Chatted with Dish tech tonight and they activated the receiver, I got the guide, but no picture. Every channel was the same. Got an error message that I had to have a smart card. Guess that nails it. Purple card here I come.
Just trying to set up a tailgate rig and bought a used 311 off of fleabay. Didn't come with a card. So do I have the buy the $50 card from Dish or can I get a used one elsewhere (fleabay)? I think I just learned an expensive lesson. . .
