Questions on Boxes

[NYRANGERS]

So I think tonight will be the night I order.

Premier with HD Access and The Extra HD Pack

1 HDDVR - Free
2 HD Recievers $99 each
3 Standard Recievers

The install still says $0.00 even though it will be a 6 room install.

Would they add more onto the install since it will be 6 rooms and not the 4?

I do have a central point for the install if that helps.

Thanks.

Not really sure of question but 4 rooms free. Additional 2 should be extra cost for receivers switch and labor.

I think that is why he lists the two HD boxes at $99.00 each.

Install Questions

OK I got another question.

I see a lot of threads talking about wires from the dish itself. So will I have 6 wires coming from the dish down to the central point?

Could they use 1 wire to the point of the side of my house?

If they use 6 do they have a connector for each of the 6 cables that go to each room?

Depends, but assuming from your forum name, I guess you are in NY. At the moment, no SWM LNB's are being installed in cold climates due to temperature issues with the electronics. So they will install a regular LNB. It has four outputs that will be run to a central point in your home. They will install a multiswitch to this. Connected to the switch will be the feeds needed for each receiver. The DVR will have two feeds, the other receivers, one each for a total of seven lines.

I live outside of Buffalo, NY, and they just installed a SWM at my house last week. I was told that they are fine as long as the temps stay above -10 (we rarely go below 0).

SWM has started back up shipments of Eagle Aspen LNB's should be available now for most HSP's
haven't seen any of the new WNC ones yet

Are you aware that there is a monthly charge for each additional receiver ?

Yep all set. Ordered tonight. Install is next Friday the 27th. Could have had sooner but wanted to make sure I set up my internet before I got Directv so I had no downtime. Can't stand being without internet for a couple days. That will be done for next Wednesday. I got some good deals, was referred, bundled with Verizon DSL, got the specials they were running now. What was pretty neat was I got the HD-DVR for free and one of the HD boxes for free. All I had to pay was for one HD box at $99 +tax. Don't know how came up free after she put all the boxes in the system. EVen my order status on the site has free for everything except 1 of the 2 HD boxes. The lady was very friendly and helpful with all my questions I asked. Was able to get the 6 boxes and they are on the way. Now we play the waiting game. Thanks for all the help folks.

EDIT: Hey Folks just as an update the Dish on my form is a DIRECTV 5-LNB Multi-Satellite Dish. I would gather that is a good thing?
