First of all I am sorry to post something that is so selfish, I hope it helps others & I made a medium effort to search for a similar & recent thread.

I am planning to create a new account after canceling a few years ago. I am so fed up with the equipment at spectrum and a tree was cut down that was causing a problem. I have a few questions and want to know what the best way to create a new account is.

I will have 1 TV that i need service to & plan to get the newest hopper DVR. All my AV stuff is hidden away in a closet about 50 ft away from a pretty new LG oled TV. I have dedicated cables ran for everything & am using a harmony remote to control everything.

Should I buy a new hopper DVR or lease one, what is the monthly charge / payoff timing. Any other reasons to own the receiver?

The install before was pole mounted on a plumbing vent (stink pipe so i have been told by installers), and this was great. I could not see the dish from the front of the house and there were no holes in the roof. Is this still considered OK or can I sign off on this type of install?

Is there any promo or secret plan that is better than what is widely available on the dish site? Is calling a rep or creating an account on their site directly the best place to start a new account. It seems like there are a lot of retailers creating accounts too, but none with a great benefit.

I assume that dish will need to pull credit (especially if i lease equipment), can this be confirmed? If so what credit agency do they use? I will need to thaw my credit & would like to know what company to do that with & not have to waste money with all 3.

thanks for your help
