OK thanks..... and thanks for the welcome lakebum
Here's my story:
I wanted to add a 5th receiver to my daughters room. I currently have 4 leased.
1- 510, 1- 501 and 2 - 301's. On my roof is a dish 500(quad) and a single dish. I called customer service and asked if I could have a ViP622 installed and informed them I didn't have an HD TV yet. They said no problem you just have to pay a $6.00 fee. My second question was "could I have the installer run a cable to my daughters bedroom?".....Again, no problem, I was told I would have to commit to an 18 month agreement and pay $199.00 and turn in a 301 receiver. I set up my "morning" appointment. The installer arrived at 2PM. He said he could not run the coax because it wasn't on the work order. I called customer service then was informed that you cannot have more than "4 tuners" and would have to turn in 2 of my 4 receivers. I canceled. Later, I called tech support and talked to a nice guy who sounded like he knew what he was taking about. He told me I would have to purchase a switch for $119.00, pay $59.00 Installation for the cable run, $199.00 for the 622 receiver, turn in one of my 301 receivers and purchase a receiver on ebay or a dishnetwork dealer. That way I would have 5 rooms installed. VP622,(2tuner) 510, 501, and a purchased receiver. and I wouldn't have to subscribe to HD content until I purchase my HD TV.. Just pay a 6.00 Fee. If this sounds confusing, I apologize because I am sure confused. Should I do this or is it best to wait until I get the TV? Or a simple solution. (lol)
Thanks
