New house, existing D dish

[tigereye1138]

Bought a house last year. The prev owner left was a DTV subscriber, and left the dish on the roof. Am thinking about signing up for DTV, and was wondering if having a dish already changes the deals available or procedure I need to go through, or do I just sign up for the standard new subscriber deal?

Thanks,

Mike

Ummmm, don't tell 'em there's a dish there if you're worried they won't give you "new customer" offers.

Lol, sorry, now that I look at it, it didn't come out right.

Was more wondering if it's a problem for D* or, more specifically, the installer, if there's already a dish up there. I mean, I'd assume they wouldn't technically need to install a new dish or anything as far as I'm concerned, just drop off a receiver and go, but wasn't sure if that would be an issue or not.

Don't mention the dish at all. They will do the install with a new dish in most cases and wire it for free to make sure you get the best picture and service.

or the installer will use the old and sell your new one on ebay!
