To set up your Dish network, you can either call Dish to get your free professional satellite installed in up to four rooms in your home, or Dish provides diagrams on its site that aid you in setting up your own equipment. These diagrams inform you of how to set up a receiver, TV remote, external hard drive, OTA (over-the-air module), the Dish remote access mobile application and the Logitech revue box with Google TV and your sling adapter. Dish also helps you with real-time programming, various packages available, equipment requirements, protection plans and technical support. You can also chat with a closed caption specialist.

Use Dish Network's professional services

Here is what you get with a free Dish network professional installation: the satellite dish properly mounted and aimed, the system grounded for lightning and electrical protection, the cables properly routed through your houses walls, the receiver installed and connected to your phone outlet and the installer showing you how to operate the satellite TV system. If you require anything other than standard installation, such as the relocation of telephone jacks, extra wiring or special hardware, you might end up paying for those extra services and components at the time of installation. Ask your installer about additional charges during installation to avoid any surprises.

There are too many things to think about when dealing with electrical items, so unless you are an electrical engineer, go with Dish's professional installations. Watch a Youtube video to learn the details of installing it yourself

Here is a YouTube video showing how to install a satellite dish. It is narrated by Bill Barney, who has installed more than 3500 satellite dish systems and is a licensed satellite installer. He says, "installing a satellite dish begins by attaching the bracket to the outside of the house at the correct angle, securing the polar plate to the bracket and hooking up the proper cables and wires." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC8JPazn_8U

Installing Dish services is a matter of understanding technical diagrams or consulting professional services. For people who want to do it themselves, it is important to have a fundamental understanding of electrical wiring and cable connections. For most people, it is advisable to let the Dish professionals install it.
