I've been a Dish customer for about 3 years and I am thinking about switching to Direct tv soon. I have a few installation/equipment questions.
1. Do I need to remove my current dish before the Direct Tv installers arrive, or will they do that for me?
2. Will they be able to use the same mount for the new dish, or will they have to install a new one. I basically need to know if I am going to have to patch the roof or not.
3. The cable from the dish to the house is buried in my back yard. Will they be able to use this cable or will they have to dig up my yard and replace it?
4. For internet access with whole home dvr, it looks like internet access to receivers via the cinema connection kit is wireless only. Is this the case, or does it support wired connections also?
5. How buggy is the HR-34 at this point? Is it missing any features of the other receivers? One of my complaints with dish is the lack of new features (bbmp, hbo on demand, etc) 922 and I don't want to get into the same situation with Direct.
Thanks for the help!.
