I just picked up a Full Direcway DW 6000 system for a guy in my area that was not using it any more.
I called Direcway to see if the account was free & clear & it was. They asked form all my info & then gave me a SAN # & PIN #.
Then a few days later I get a call form the local installer & he wants to set up a time for him to come & install the system for $200.
I told him I was not ready to have the system installed he said? OK call when I was.
What I want to do is use it here at home & take it on the road when we travel. I figured I could set up the Dish & aim it to use here & when ready get the tripod stuff later.
What I need to know is how do I get the Modem turned on & get? assigned a Satellite?
I have downloaded quite a few different sets of instruction for aiming the dish & how to do all that, but I need to have my account activated with Direcway & be assigned a Satellite. I have called local dealers & installer in my area & they all want $150-$200 to come out & install the system. I know from looking at a lot of Tripod web sites that if you buy a full set up they ship you a modem that has been turned on & has a Satellite assigned to your account. Can my account & modem be set up by a dealer without them having the modem or can I call Direcway to have the account activated & Satellite assigned.
I have been told by Direcway that once I have an active account I can then upgrade to the DW 7000 for $50 if I sign up for the Professional Plan $69/mo. for 15 months. I was hoping I could get everything done to setup a Direcway account so I could practice here at home setting up the system & getting online so I would not be trying it on the road for the first time. I did have one guy tell me I could set up the account on my own but I could not get how to do it from him.
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks for reading my ramblings
