I could get into the menu at home, I counld not get into the section that would let me change the dish selection from SwiM to a round dish. It would not let you access that one section.. wasnt highlighted at all,,like it was a permanent setting..so the guy figured that it was set not to recognize anything other than the SWiM setting and we would have to possibly unconnect the switch and get into changing things that I have no clue about..with a chance of then messing the remaining tvs up...and trust me,,,that I could do very easy...


I think that the new receiver is the easiest solution, however, isnt that what they meant about not being allowed to have receivers at different locations and only one account, or am I misunderstanding their policy? Is it okay to activate a new receiver with the same account, just not allowed to take a receiver that is already been activated for home use? All I can imagine is them being able to tell that I have a receiver somewhere that I am not supposed too and violating the contract...maybe watch too much NCIS...they can pinpoint anything.....being that I already called and asked them about this...they will say that I was told how the contract works.

However, when I called before installing in my home, she told me exactly what you are telling me,,,activate a receiver pay the monthly rental fee and all is good,,It was the main reason that I switched from dish,,,no signal up there, only direct signal is available..,Gosh, I am confusing me, let alone you reading this...I just feel that I got 2 different responses and not sure which one is correct..

thanks again for all the options that you have given me..

was able to get the new receiver to switch over to the menu that allowed me to change the setting,,,my power went out and we lost our signal...when our signal was out, I was able to go into the menu, change to the round dish and set it,, however, as soon as the signal was back on, the menu would not let me access the portion of the menu that you could change from SWiM to round, etc..... bottom line,,,as long as the system didnt detect the the SwiM, I could change, as soon as the system was up and running, could not change,,gotta plug the receiver in, change the setting, THEN hook up to the satellite after that..
