If I want to order e* in the St. Louis area, should I just call the customer service number and order it or go to a retailer. I guess I am asking does it really matter how I do it.
Depends on what is better for your area, check with neighbors and friends who have Dish and see what they tell you as far as how their installaton went. You can do either, but is would be better if you can find area dealer who stands by his work.

I went with and prefer the local retailer. I didn't have a great experience my first time around with the company E* contracted out. I also like the idea of having the local retailer close if I ever need service.
I'm not saying you can't get a good installer going direct with E*, because there are good ones, some of the hang out in this forum.
Basically, your getting a waived activation fee, plus a $50 rebate which makes this deal $100 better than anyone else out there.
We use DISH Network service corporation as our installation company, its a DISH Network Certified technician who comes out, which is the same people if you ordered directly by calling 800-333-DISH.
