Hi guys,
GREAT forum here. I've really got alot of great info from reading through your posts.
I was planning on getting Dish, but was disappointed to learn that a Social Security number was required when signing up. I'm just a bit too paranoid about identity theft to give out my SS# to Dish, so I'm trying to figure some way around it.
As I understand it, Dish does not require your SS# if you do not use one of their "free equipment" offers. Correct? So, does that mean that I can buy my own equipment on ebay(making sure that the receivers have been released, no balance, etc.) and install the dish myself? Then can I activate said equipment through Dish without a SS#?
Here's the equipment I'm planning on:
1 Dish 322 receiver
1 Dish 311 Receiver
1 Dual Dishpro LNB Dish
Does that look okay? Do I need a multiswitch as well? Or are they built-in(like Directv)?
Thanks for any advice!
