Adding new 622-- how to activate?

[ctjr]

I should have a new, in-box 622 awaiting me when I get home this evening. Got it from what looks to be a reputable guy on eBay.

When it arrives, do I merely connect it up (I'm swapping out from an older box, so the cables are already in place) and then place a call to Dish? It should come w/ a card, correct?

Thanks!

No, Smart card is built into the receiver, the slot will be empty.

Oh, I should have known that! So, just a phone call and it's set?

Pretty much. I'd have it on the system info screen when I call, and already been through the check switch.

Before you even call, what old "box" did you have?

We need to know what type of dish you have installed. If you only have one single cable going to the room where the 622 is located you need to have Dish Pro Plus LNBs or a DPP44 switch to work with a single cable and a DP Separator.
