I can run a second cable through the open door if needed for set up, but it would not make the wife happy if it was always there.
I do know about changing the dish type, but I could not get to the menu because of the messages. The DVR just kept spinning and kept repeating "almost there".
(Wife has a LOT of programs recorded that she wanted to watch. I'll be dead meat if I can't get this fixed.)
Your assistance is appreciated.
