I called Dish Network last week to find out about getting another satellite box installed in my already 4-box dual LNB account. They told me four was my limit unless I bought my own multi-switch and purchased another box (the other four were leased). The cost would have been just under $600.
When I asked them if I could simply subscribe to another account and have two dishes up on my roof the guy thought I was nuts although it is a common practice in the upper 48 states.
He said two accounts on one site is not allowed in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico because of the larger dish sizes. I told him I didn't see a problem setting up two or even four dishes on my roof and asked him what he considers "larger" dish sizes. He replied that the larger dishes are the 6-footers and that it is common for Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico customers to have those dishes.
Ummmm...no. I told him we're using the standard 20 or 24-inch diameter dishes everywhere in Hawaii. So with that he said it shouldn't be a problem setting up two or more accounts on one household. Apparently the people up at Dish Network think we still live in grass shacks too!
