Guys, I have to move across town in about 6 weeks. All of my Dish stuff is leased. Would Dish have a cow if I moved it all myself, meaning, pullng th 500 and 300 off the roof of where I live now (and salvaging what RG6 I can) and moving it to my new location?
The reason I ask is:
1. I know I am capable of installing it myself.
2. I don't want to wait for an installer to come and do it.
3. I may be living in historical housing on a military installation and be forced to use flat coax to get the signal in the house. From what I've been reading here, installers won't do an install like that anymore. I know I can get the flast coax from Parts Exprress for a couple of bucks (and by some spares too). I also know I will have to put the dishes on a pole in the yard, since I can't attach stuff to the house. I'm sure about the pole part, but not the flat coax part, there's a chance this old housing **may** have facilities to get an outside signal (cable, antenna, and/or satellite) in.
Now, I may also be moving into newly constucted on-post housing, in which case It should have some sort of entry point for coax integrated into it....
Any thoughts?
