The installer would probably be willing to do anything you will pay for. He also probably won't have the equipment. If you provide it you will be on your own for replacements. The second wire on those recorders has been a specification creep for a long time. Installers have been asked to just do it for the F word.youngster said:
Please...Be very VERY careful with Ebay. I'm not trying to sound patriarchal but I and others have been burned by looking for a cheaper way on Ebay.youngster said:
I haven't seen any SWMline dishes there, but there are 3-4 sellers that have the SWM LNB from that dish.admiral39 said:
The change in the work order will cost you a day..........it takes them dudes in India at least one day to read the work order. The tech will leave and you will have to reschedule........NO CHANGES....just because you want stuff and are willing to pay for it is no excuse for expecting things to happen in satellite land.youngster said:The installer showed up at my house. I asked him if he would replace the regular LNB on the slimline with the SWM LNB. He said he was not trained on how to do it. But he did verify that other installers in his office were trained and that they were being installed in Tucson. He then called his manager who verified that all I had to do to qualify for the SWMline dish was...
1) Be a new D* customer (I am)
2) require 5 lines to be run to my receivers.
On requirement #2, all I was lacking was an additional SD receiver.
I then called D* and added the receiver. They set me up for a new work order with the SWMline dish for Friday.
Now, since I don't really want to pay for the extra SD receiver I will just cancel it when the tech shows up on Friday. The installer was sure that would not prevent him from installing the SWMline, since he would already have it on hand.

paying for the receiver is cheaper than buying a SWM LNB and you will avoid cursing half of DTV staff.youngster said:The installer showed up at my house.

Amen. For what it's worth though, I will do the job even if a work order change is still in progress, and never had it backfire. It may take a lot of time on the phone but what else is new.joe diamond said:
Where I am.....the courts paid me for what an HSP sub decided was not payable because the work orders were lost. The AFS sub before that I can't find. I have a MD judgment against him for $4000.00 + but have not collected penny one.kevinm34232 said:
