When installing a dish receiver or satellite, one may consider that the dish receiver does not cause inconvenience to the neighbors, therefore choose a more isolated place with little interruption, such as the back of the house.
A DISH Network receiver can only work with a unique Smart card. The card in the DISH Network receiver that you are referring to would be the smart card.
only if you have an RCA output from the dish to run into the receiver. The receiver does not have the standard coaxial input.
Actually, you can use a legacy receiver with a DISH Pro dish. An adapter is needed at the receiver to get the proper signal for that receiver. No, Dish Pro is a stacked technology, which the older 3700 will not recognize.
You may not have your Dish satellite receiver on the correct channel if it is a duo (dual receiver). You will need to tune it to either 60 or channel 73. Also, make sure your power to your Dish Network receiver is on -- for the Dish TV duo receiver, you should see a light for TV2 and TV1.
Call Dish.
To get HD programming, you need a Dish HD receiver and a HDMI cord which connects from your Dish TV receiver to your HDTV.
As long as it is a Dish Network receiver that is current, it is allowed. However, it has no effect on monthly charges if you choose to use your own receiver.
Yes, there is no difference. I use a Direct dish and an Expressvu receiver at the cottage.
No you cannot. The receiver decodes the signal coming from the satellite that is unique to DISH Network.
It depends on what Dish Network receiver you have and what channel or input was initially set up by your installer. If you have had Dish TV for awhile and have not had an upgrade, and have a single tuner Dish receiver it is most likely channel 3 (Unless you have a duo/dual receiver which services 2 televisions). If you have a duo/dual Dish receiver, and are viewing TV2 (usually where the receiver is not located in the room), default settings are channel 60 or 73. If you have an HDTV and an HD receiver, your TV may have been tuned to one of your television inputs using a HDMI cord as this makes for the best quality viewing for HD programming. If all else fails, call Dish Network customer service; they are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
For DISH Network, the receiver can be about 200 ft away from the dish to operate optimally.
If I'm understanding your question correctly, it does matter what type of satellite dish you get to go with a particular satellite receiver such as a Dish Network receiver. Even the type of satellite receiver or programming selection can require a different type of Dish as all receivers pick up different satellites in orbit. Dish Networks new receivers, such as the Vip 722 and Vip 922 require a 1000.4 Dish. If you meant what company to go with, do your homework and shop around. Make sure you understand the promotional price that you will get initially, and then what your cost will be when the promotion ends. In my opinion, Dish Network has the best deals around.
