I should mention that when I did call dish to activate the customer service could not have been better. And now for another update, you only need the main receiver on while searching for satellites. After acquiring satelliteso you can turn the main receiver OFF and watch TV with the bedroom receiver. Some people here said that was not possible even the customer service lady said the main receiver had to be on,and even then she said it may not be possible to watch different channels in the bedroom. Completely wrong right now the wife is watching news in the bedroom and the main receiver has been off until just now I turned on the main receiver to watch the news. The campground host stopped by the other day and asked if I was getting a signal, I said yes over 200 crystal clear channels, he has spent the entire summer here with no signal from his tailgater. He said he was going to order a pathway X2. Seems he was hearing the same stuff I was. The bottom line is I'm so happy I went with the pathway and the wallys. I don't see how it could be any easier are better.
