Smile Dish Networks - Reseller & Installer - ** HELP PLEASE **

Anyone CL members either resell Dish Networks or install Dish networks. (OR can recommend to a friend who sells them).

I am looking to get rid of my cable and get dish, but DISH customer service is clueless.

Assuming the following:

In the home there are:
3 HD TV's
3 regular standard definition TV's.

I want all HD programmming, local channels, Plus I need international channels

So I need a HD dish, and I assume a "Super" dish for the internation channels.
to connect to 5 TV's total.

Anyone help me out in terms of recommedning a seller or installer.

Thanks ALL & Drive carefully!!!

Any particular reason you are going Dish network? I myself is using DirecTv and have the HD setup with tivo in 4 rooms. I think I pay around $85 for local hd and regular channels plus HBO. Customer service and techs upport is good and fast.

The reason is that Dish Networks has more International programming.
(Direct TV does not offer the international channels which my wife's wants).

So I need to have Dish Networks.

I have had them all and went back to Adelphia with Moxi DVR HD boxes. Built in dual tuners with no ridiculous splitter required. Video on demand is a nice feature though I generally just buy DVDs. Plus I get to toss that ugly dish on the roof-again. They also have .jpg USB dump to store your personal pictures if you choose though I have a computer on each of my TV's. Dishnetwork HD boxes were/are very problematic. HD channels are a bit different of course but no issue with the reception. As good if not better than before. I had Adelphia at first-hated the picture and old boxes but the new stuff is great. Could not be happier. Dumped DSL and went back to cable internet as well. Pricier but so what. Glad I dumped Dish. Best to read up on other forums dedicated to this subject to learn more and to see who carries that you are really looking for. If you only care for the international programming then I guess your limited but you will be giving up some by going to Dish.
