As Canadians we need a USA address in order to have pay as you go
dish signal. If we buy a dish at camping world , I was wondering why camping world couldn't set up an account for us snowbirds and let us
use pay as you go. after all if you don't pay you get no signal.
Just a question????

I have a pay as you go setup for Dish at the house. They always send me a paper bill even though I'm set up to do autopay via credit card, so they seem to need a valid mailing address. I bought the equipment new from a dealer in Detroit and installed it myself, but when I initially went to activate the system online Dish complained saying I had an invalid receiver ID. I called the dealer who sold it to me and they set up the monthly pay as you go account for me and told me I could then make changes online directly with Dish. It;s worked fine since then and I suspect if one was to follow the same process you could probably get by with nothing more than a mailing address and even a PO box would likely work.
