To set up your Dish network, you can either call Dish to get your free professional satellite installed in up to four rooms in your home, or Dish provides diagrams on its site that aid you in setting up your own equipment. These diagrams inform you of how to set up a receiver, TV remote, external hard drive, OTA (over-the-air module), the Dish remote access mobile application and the Logitech revue box with Google TV and your sling adapter. Dish also helps you with real-time programming, various packages available, equipment requirements, protection plans and technical support. You can also chat with a closed caption specialist.Use Dish Network's professional servicesHere is what you get with a free Dish network professional installation: the satellite dish properly mounted and aimed, the system grounded for lightning and electrical protection, the cables properly routed through your houses walls, the receiver installed and connected to your phone outlet and the installer showing you how to operate the satellite TV system. If you require anything other than standard installation, such as the relocation of telephone jacks, extra wiring or special hardware, you might end up paying for those extra services and components at the time of installation. Ask your installer about additional charges during installation to avoid any surprises.There are too many things to think about when dealing with electrical items, so unless you are an electrical engineer, go with Dish's professional installations.
