Ordering DISH thru dishpronto

i know what dish is but i dont know about what dish i should try to have them installed and what receiver I should allow them to give me, if that's up to me...

since i dont watch a heck of a lot of tv, i've only sat back on cable, but with what prontodish is offering, something like 31.99 and so muc hfree stuff, i'm tempted to have them roll it out for me so i can test it out for a few months.


i knoew there are a few threads about sate. overall, but i havent the 10hrs of time to sort it all out... and i'm not really in need of doing a dtv vs. dish info spread, since this deal is for dish specifically.


Can dish be outputted to my 6yr old Panasonic Planaflat 27" tv, or do I have to buy a newer HDTV ready tube?

what input does it stick into on my tv's backside, same one as my current cable box?
 
Dish Network is very easy to use, for $31.99 a month you get the Top 60 pack with locals on two different TVs. I'd recommend going to a retail shop to sign-up, it's the same cost but they tend to know more, especially at Radioshack. You can also play with a demo box and get the feel for it.

It'll plugin to the coax on the back of your TV, or the composite RWY jacks if you have them for a nicer picture.
 
I agree with Sphexi and I'd also go with a retail shop that does their own installs. Nothing wrong with Radio Shack but if you go with a retailer that does their own installs you'll get more personalized service. It's also handy if something goes wrong and you need to have a tech come out and do service. Dish Network has their own techs and while they're very good you'll usually get a tech out from your original retailer quicker.
 
Does the back of the 522 have Component jacks? I just picked up a 522 and 322, Top 120+Locals, 4 TVs for $50/month. It's expensive, but I was already paying $40/month for one TV, Top 120 no locals, no DVR.

That's because you need to be getting VOOM. 1-800-438-VOOM
 
That's cause you need to call 1-800-438-VOOM . Voom is in a wierd phase, but when VOOM, LLC. takes over the company from Cablevision, all will be in order.

Actually, that's kinda the opposite of what usually happens. If you go with a local-only retailer who does their own installs, if something goes wrong they can horribly screw you on it. They're not required to adhere to any of Dish Network's quality standards, but Radioshack/Sears/Bestbuy are. Part of Radioshack's agreement with Dish as a partner is that any problems will be taken care of at the local store level, meaning you don't get shipped off to someone in Boulder or Denver or wherever Dish is these days.

I sell on average 10 setups a week, I've had ZERO complaints in 3 years. Any problems I deal with personally, with the help of my local Dish rep and the local installers who are contracted by Dish, and are required through a legally binding agreement to ensure the job is done right, and is warrantied for a certain amount of time afterwards.


Local stand-alone sellers have none of that.
