What type of splitter is required to hook up the dvr to a Directv round dish. Where do the connections go on the splitter?
Joe F asked:
I have a standard receiver from Dish and I don’t want to pay the extra cost to upgrade my receiver to HD. A friend of mine is no longer using his HD receiver because he is moving out of state. Can I switch my receiver for the HD receiver without Dish Network knowing about it? If so, is it easy or do I have to do some type of programming. Thanks in advance for your answer.

If someone could please help me, how much am I looking at having to spend to setup service? What are all the fees? Do you get better service from dish network or direct tv or are they pretty much the same? If anyone can help, thanks.
