Expanding from 2 to 4 outlets

Anyone know what the best way to do this is? DISH won't do another installation and estimtes from the locals are $200 - $300. Seems like my only reasonable alternative is to go to Direc TV - don't really want to do that. Any options??

Get a DP34 or DPP44 and run the lines yourself.

This of course depends on if you have DishPro equipment on your dish.

need much more info on current equipment before we can help with the easiest way

-what LNB's do you have now? Legacy or DishPro? (DishPro has a big "DP" on the front of the LNB
-Do you have just a DIsh500 or is there another dish for other stuff involved?
-model of receivers
-current switches

Try going to this site to determine what you have/need. http://www.switchinfo.info/index.htm
If you don't have the receivers already, the cheapest DISH receiver is the 111 at $89.00 thats $180 just for starters plus switches and labor. Hello Directv.

What Iceberg said. It's entirely possible that you have a dishpro quad already if your install isn't too old. If that's the case then all you need is some rg6 cable and whatever receivers you want. If not, then it can get complicated. Regardless, we need that extra info. Did you try asking dish about a "dish it up" promo? That gets you 2 leased receivers for .01 more than the "additional owned receiver" monthly charge ($5.00 vs $4.99). I think you have to have been a customer for some period of time before you are eligible for this promo. The other catch is you have to send them back if you unsubscribe or drop below the AT60 pack.
