So I'm getting DTV for the first time tomorrow morning and I was wondering if there were certain things I need to make sure the technician does so that I get the best set up as possible?
They will be setting up two HD DVRs.
I have a question about dish placement. As I understand it, my dish should point south, but someone told me that if I have a pre-existing box on my house that cable TV was going in, the DTV people will put the dish on that side since some wiring is already done. But my cable lines go into the north side of my house. That would seem dumb to put the dish over there and point it into the house. Will the DTV tech make me a new box on the south side of the house? Or will they just run the wires straight in from the south? I really don't want it on the north side of my house pointed back at the house.
My next question is after the receivers are set up and you check your signal. What am I suppose to look for, in easy terms to understand since I've never had any kind of satellite service before please, so that I know the tech did a good job?
Is there anything else I should make sure is taken care of?
Thanks for you time.
