thanks good information everyone. guess i will be on the phone/chat again all day tomorrow and/or forever until they fix my issue.
When I originally called to have the dish mover come, I explicitly said I will not be changing any equipment or authorizing any change of my programming package. The agent told me "that's fine and if I need to move again and again, they will install for free as many times as I want". No mention of qualifying programming packages.
Easiest way is to move it yourself.
Then, wait for a utility bill to arrive - in our case, we will have electric and phone in two locations for a couple of months, install a new dish - yourself, move your equipment and notify E of the fact you have moved and do not require a mover because you have already done it.
The only reason for waiting for a utility bill to arrive before notifying E of the move is that they may request a copy of it as proof of your actually having moved. Too many people are "moving" just to get different local channels and those days are just about over. In our case, we will be in the same locals area, so it will not matter.
