Tomorrow I'm getting a Dish PVR-501. The installer is scheduled to come while I'm at work so my wife will have to deal with him/her. I already have a Dish receiver so the 501 will take it's place. Now I'm wondering if I should just have the installer leave the box and do the install myself. I'm not uneasy about doing it, I installed the dish antenna, ran the wiring and setup my first receiver but it wasn't a PVR. The reason I don't want the installer to do it is because I really don't want someone screwing with my HT setup and getting to some of the wires is a royal pain.
So, has anyone out there installed their Dish PVR-501 themselves? If so could you provide some tips, do's/don'ts, etc. I did a search at dbsforums but didn't find a whole lot. Thanks!
