    What are my chances of getting a Dish technician to setup my LNB with all three cables...?

    If he is a contractor like I used to be, keep in mind he pays for all his own consumable parts including cable so the extra line will be coming out of his own pocket. If he is a Dish hourly employee he will probably just do it for free. Either way at least a $20.00 tip would be a nice gesture.
