So Dish Network has canceled my 811 install for the third time and now tell me that they won't get any 811s until the END OF JANUARY OR EARLY FEBRUARY. I'm so frustrated with them, and so I am considering several options.
One of my options is to buy an 811 online and install it myself. I know that I will pay upwards of $200 more than if I were to wait for dish network to pull their head out, but I'm wondering if there are any other disadvantanges...(I DO have the ability to install this receiver myself, by the way) Specifically I wonder whether the next batch of receivers will have updated hardware or whether all of the upgrades be software?
So, other than cost, can anyone think of a reason why I shouldn't buy online and install myself?
Also, if I do install myself, does anyone know whether my SW-21 (legacy) switch will be sufficient or will I need to upgrade to a dish pro switch.
Thanks for any feedback you can give me.
