Hello, all!
I have a BEV 2700 system with a 24 inch dish and a single TV, and I'm thinking about switching to Dish. I've successfully installed my BEV in 3 different locations, and a DirecTV elliptical dish for a roommate, so I would enjoy and prefer installing the system myself, using as much of my existing equipment as possible. (I also live in an apartment, and it's a LOT easier for me to work with my landlord directly than to deal with an installer.)
So from what I've read, it seems like I can use the same dish and RG-6 cabling I have in place, but I'll need to get a DishPro 311 receiver and a new LNBF to capture 119 and 110 satellite signals.
My questions:
1) Does the above sound right? If not, what should I do differently?
2) From where can I buy a receiver and LNBF? Dish wants to lease me equipment and have it professionally installed, which isn't acceptable to me.
Thanks a bunch!
