DP34 Switch and No subscription on 311

[npearman]

Hello all - New to this forum. This is a great site. I have a quick question. I just installed a DP34 switch on my Dishpro system and I having a problem with one of my 311 receivers. It keeps telling me I don't have a subscription to any of my channels. I have a 522 and a 501 which also go through the switch and they work fine. The 311 is an extra receiver I had lying around the house and wanted to use. Do I have to call Dish and tell them I want to add this additional receiver to my account for it to work? I'm guessing they can tell how many receivers I have hooked up and I can't use the other one until I pay them the 4.99 a month for the additional receiver. Is this correct?

Thanks

Nathan

Welcome to SatelliteGuys... Yes you will need to get it activated and pay the $4.99

Thanks for the information. I had a feeling I would have to pay another 5 bucks a month. I love satellite picture quality, but damn you can get nickel and dimed to death. Thanks again.

...unless you only want to watch NASA and shopping channels.

*shrug* The digital cable providers charge the same thing.
