dishnet adding new reciever

[tommi o]

before I do when I add a second reciever like a 508 besides notifying dishnet is there any thing difficult about hooking -up? I have a 301 in already working. Is the manual all I need or is other help required? I know you folks have done this so I'm asking your expertize. thanks

Other than running a second cable from your Twin LNB or Switch 21 if you have dual LNBs, it is not difficult.

That's basically it - run your second cable, connect it to the receiver, turn the receiver on and let it download the software - don't interrupt this process! It can take up to a half hour or so depending on which receiver you get. Then call dish and have them activate it.
