Woohoo!! Got me dish-tv!!!
I got the package from thesatelliteguy.com on Friday. Saturday I installed it, and it took me about 5 hours to do so. Snow was melting and constantly dripping on my head while I was installing it so it took a little longer than it should have.
I then called Dish, and I talked to a lady who sounded a little bitter. She asked me if I was the installed, and I said yes. She then asked for the customer's name, address, phone, etc, and then asked where I bought it from. I told her all that stuff, and the promotion I wanted, and she said there were some problems with the system and that it would be 1-2 hours before she could activate it. :disgust:
Time went by, and still no activation. All I could get was the Christmas music channel!! I had some other things to do on Sunday (like wrap Christmas presents) so the music came in handy. After awhile, still no channels so I called back Sunday night. I got a different gal who was very friendly and courteous. She did not ask me about installer or where I got it or anything -- Just name, address, phone, promo, receiver and smart card numbers. Then that was it!!
$9/mo for America's Top 100!!!
Once I get locals, I will be a very happy camper!
