Got a question abot E* accounts,
I bought my first E* system back in the day from Costco and did a self install at my home. I know as a DNS tech later that practice was discontinued. Easy to see why.
Ive convinced my parents to switch from cable to E* since they were paying way too much for cable. I have a dish 1000 and 625 I own that I was planning to install, just need to seperate out thier comcast HSI, and its all but done.
But how do I get an account set up? Can you still build one over the phone or will I need to schedule a install appt to do nothing? The whole point of going this route is that I have the equipment and dont want a 18 month commiment or pay the $49 activation. and generally wouldnt turn my back on installers in my area for more than 5 seconds.
What is my best option?
