Once the new card arrived and was installed, a series of phone calls with Dish began. I don't think I've ever met anyone who knows why I'm not getting a signal. In the…

I have a love-hate relationship with this receiver. I had to read countless reviews before deciding on this receiver and I'm going to put everything I've learned from lots of research and personal experience in one place to hopefully save someone some time. an access card (some reviews say it's not included or built in), it's located behind the front hinged doors (where the white model number and crockery logo are on the front of the unit). cannot preview channels or do anything until it…
