Dish Network?

[Kenneth Brown]

My inlaws moved into a new house about a week ago. It came with Dish Network, which I also have. They wanted to keep Direct TV which they had at the old house. I ended up with her reciever and dish. My wife wants me to hook up a TV in the kids room. As I was looking at the Dish stuff it appears that the reciever might have to be special for multiple hookups. Is this right? I need all the help you can give me as I am really lost on this one.

You'll need at least a multiplex switch/splitter to feed the signal from the dish to the additional room. I am not sure if you'll need a multi-signal dish or not. Good Luck.

Need Dual LNB at the dish <br /><br />Need to call Dishnetwork, without service on that receiver, you won't get anything. They authenticate your receiver and access card inside of it.<br /><br />I'd give them a call, they may be able to help you by either letting you activate the 2nd dish ($5 per additional TV) OR, they may be able to give you a new and improved dish because you are bringing on more service.<br /><br />But you can't just run a splitter and be up and running, not like cable.

Chances are if you call dish, they can set you up with a new dish and install it free and give you another reciever or use the extra one you now have and charge you another $5.00 per month for the extra room. Its much easier than you think.

Ya we are gonna call them anyway. I wasn't gonna try to scam it past them because ya'll are right about the card. I have the 500 system but my reciever is 8 years old, since they bought the other net out.
