NBC is back on, that lasted about 5 days, I guess them and Sinclair Networks (the rebroadcaster) settled things...but I was ready to change, would have saved a bunch, but no option for the mancave shut it down..
If iut's a receiver, any cable will work. IMPORTANT: If you have ordered an extra receiver the installer might try to give you an H25. That will work in your house, but NOT with the regular dish on the shop, it's an SWM-only receiver. If it's all he has, that will push you into an SWM LNB and power inserter on the dish at the shop...
Yup, TRIED to get the extra receiver, should have ordered it when the first operator was going to let me, but this thread is dead, as is my Direct TV order. But thanks for EVERYONES input, this is what forums are for!
