    I came back to Dish from CableA

    I left Dish for cable tv over 6 months ago and love it! Got a 3 room Tivo going and it beats Dish by great lengths. There are times when the grass is much greener on the other side. You just need to be sure its not because the septic tank is leaking!

    Node laying on ground

    To the OP. Guess you want your birdsnest of wire cleaned up and new lines run free? So the new tech coming out, if contractor, will only be paid $40 for the visit. If it were me coming out, id only be giving you an estimate on what my charge would be to clean that up. Tv working fine? Then shut...

    Two locations for one receiver?

    I would mirror off tv2. What is on in the master bedroom would also be on the patio tv. All it would take is a splitter and some cable line.

    Upgrading to Hopper-prewiring in preparation for installation?

    Buying a spool of rg6 from a big box retailer is ok. Only problem is it may not be on the approved parts list for Dish installers. I myself would do your install and run with it but there may be a chance the installing tech may request to rerun approved wiring. Hopefully a current tech can weigh...

    Thinking of switching from Directv to Dish - Any tips?

    Yell, as a installer seeing 8 out of 10 customers give me the deer in the head light look when i start by explaining that their tv is now on HDMI 1 instead of ch 3, then you would understand the 10 min new Dish receiver education i give. I dont have 2 hours to teach someone how to use the volume...

    Installer used an old existing dish - good or bad?

    I'm guilty of doing this Claude. Pull up on a 1 room install 2 hours from home. Cust is military and lives in apartment with multiple dishes out back. What the hell, hook into one of them!

    vip722k power cord replacement?

    I would cut the cord at the box and call Dish to complain that you received a receiver without a power cord! How in the hell are you supposed to power it up, ha ha

    Droped Dish for Comcast

    additional location

    Just find a installer who will do you a "Dish" install on the side and take your receiver back and forth or order a solo 211 for convenience. Its not rocket science.

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    I called Dish after reading to first 2 pages of this thread to enquire about getting a free Roku. Told the first csr to connect me directly to loyalty and she did. Spent about 4 mins on hold then got a loyalty csr who granted me with a free Roku. Only spent a total of 9 mins on the phone. Sweet
