I just want to be able to carry my DVR box back and forth to our river house but need a HD dish upgrade to the already DTV wired home.

(Direct TV says I have to have a 2nd account $$ OR call it a "seasonal home" where they turn off and on service depending on where you are staying)

I figure all I need is a new HD dish at the river and Ill just travel with the DVR box and be good.

I've found the dish's on Craigslist, no problem. Hook that up, and just move the box back and forth, works great!

Sounds easy but be better for me if I could find a 3rd party DTV installer to do it or someone in the Biz.

I will be out for desert storm and could probably have you up in running in 15 minutes if the dish is assembled and the mounting location is easy to access? Shoot me a PM if you need help.

They told me the same thing so I just said it was for an outdoor T/V at home and also one for the Motorhome. Only have to pay for the box's this way. I got tired of taking them back and fourth and the HD takes awhile to boot back up. Also, Your HD box will work on old dish it just wont be in HD to TV.

We do this at our cabin in Flagstaff. Be sure to get the 5 LNB dish when its installed.
