Activating A DISH Receiver Online

I am certainly not a Dish basher - but I've never successfully activated a receiver online. My recommendation: Give up and call.
 
You can only do it if it is an rma.

Good to know, as this is how I activated past RMA's and a new RMA due this week. I think if you try to activate a box that was not part of an RMA, the page will state something like, "There is no equipment to be activated." Thanks for the info.
