Hi all,
I finally pulled the trigger and I have the installer coming over in a couple of days (for a 4 TV installation.)
I live in SF area, when I made the order they said I may need a 2nd dish for locals and it will be free. I asked for VOOM and they said a $199 charge would apply for additional dish installation. I ordered the locals, but I didn't order VOOM although I want to get it. I still have the old VOOM dish on the roof.
My question is:
1.- is there any way to avoid that $199 fee for the voom dish? I don't really care about locals via dish since I can get them OTA. Could I ask the installer to point the sat to 61.5 (already pointing there) instead of having it pointed to the 148 (I think this is the location for the SF Bay Area locals).
2.- Also, I only have room for 2 dishes, regular + voom (already installed), so if the above cannot be done, should I just drop the locals and do the voom installation myself? in this case, will the installer (I'm having a 4 tv installation: 942, 811, 510) bring a switch able to support the voom addition later?
I would really appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks a lot in advance.

PS: I'd love to have that dish 1000 already working/announced by Dish, that way I could have my locals + voom all with one dish in my location!
