I read the 6/05 post about taking one of your home receivers and putting it in a vacation home. Great information about all the cabling issues. That part I sort of understand. I do, however, have a variation on the same question with a Dish TV set up.

We have a 2 receiver set-up in our primary residence. We have a 522 and a 322. The dish is a Dish Pro 500 with a dual LNB (whatever that is?) A 2-headed whatever at the end of the arm.

The kids are finally out of the house, so I’d like to take the 322 and put it into a vacation home we’re thinking about (not to far from where we currently are - good exposure, etc.) since I’m already paying for the receiver. The place won’t have a land phone line. However, cell phone service does work. I have an extra Dish Pro 500 dish, but no LNB (whatever that is?)

I guess my questions are:

Is this going to work or am I barking up the wrong tree?
If it will, what’s an LNB, what’s the right one for this set-up, and how does one acquire one?
Do I have the right dish to make this work?
Assuming this all works can I get away with no land phone line?

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

I have a Dish Network DVR received - and just bought an HD TV!! About a month ago, I wanted to upgrade my receiver to and HD-DVR receiver, but they wanted $400 for the receiver, so I did nothing. I just checked the website today and they are offering the HD-DVR receiver on the same terms as my DVR receiver for NEW customers, but existing customers are supposed to go purchase one from their local retailer…

So, I called up their lovely customer service line and was told that the above was true for NOW, but on February 1st they are announcing a new promotion on HD-DVR and it will be GOOD??? That’s all they would say. Anybody have any ideas what this will be?

I just ordered with dish pronto; though you would like to know that I was a bit dissapointed with them; when we first started chatting, they said they would install by jan 25; when it was time to order, they advised that the earliest would be feb 1.

Thanks
