Dish 1000 question

[mattyo]

Newbie question- I live in Lebanon, TN and looking for suggestions on how to purchase and install a new Dish 1000.....Should I go through Dish or contact a local satellite company?

I currently have a Dish 500 with 3 811's and 3 301's and an OTA connected to my 811's for HD locals.

Thanks in advance!

Definitely a local satellite company, preferably the one that you purchased your system through if it was through a local retailer.

I assume you've got at least one DP34 in your config.

Note that the standard D1000 comes with a DPPlus-Twin which will NOT work with a DP34.

If you're using a Twin and a pair of DP34s, no problemo. Just use the DP-Twin instead of the DPPlus-Twin.

If you're using a Quad and a DP34, you can still use them - but stuffing that many (5) cables into the D1000 arm will be a bit of a PITA.
