Another install question, someone told me you need 2 dishs

[geaux1]

side by side, is this true, and assuming I can get a signal, can the Dish guy just use the old DTV cables that go to my sets or is there something sepcial about the cables, I know this is probably a really dumbass question, but I need to know before I schedule this so I can guess how much time I need to plan to hang around.

A lot depends on the quality of the cables, what programming and receivers you want, and where you are located.

Okay, I have HD tivos from DTV, my 3 lnb is on the roof, they are jacking me around so much on the install for the 5 lnb i've had enough so I am calling Dish today or in a few days to get them to some out and see if they can get a signal. Direct can but I do have a lot of trees so I am not sure where Dish's sats are so I know they need to check it out. As far as the wires, I am sure they are good quality because I have never had a signal problem, but who knows.

We need your location to determine how many dishes you need. You may need just one or two at the most.

A single Dish 1000 will work fine in Memphis.
