My family has been Dish customers for about 12 years. We have a Dish 300, and a model 3000 receiver. Everything works fine for the most part, but I'm looking to upgrade. Dish Network has a deal where we can get a 322 receiver for 50 bucks shipped. It costs another 50 to install it, which I would like to avoid paying.
It would be nice to replace our current receiver with the 322 so we could watch different channels on two TV's. My electronics knowledge is about "medium". My dad is a construction worker, and has a lot of experience running wires around this house. I am pretty sure we don't have a second cable run from the dish to the receiver, so that would need to be done.
Do you think doing that, and setting up the 322 receiver would be hard? Also, are there any expenses anyone can think of that I'm forgetting? Finally, does Dish usually ask for the old receiver back?
Thanks a lot.
