I've had similar issues with DISH support. I spent several hours with them trying to get a second Wally receiver set up. Finally gave up. One thing I was never told. In order to receive local channels (at least here around Dallas TX) you need to be on the Western Arc and when you hook up the second receiver it defaults to EA. This cannot be changed. When it's on the EA, you don't even have the ability to receive many of the channels you pay for. I pay extra for locals AND the news stations like CNBC/CNN. None of those channels come through on the EA. So they told me my options were that I need to only run a single receiver at a time so I could get the WA, and the channels I paid for.

Seems like this is something I should have been told before I purchased a second receiver, thinking I could watch the same channels no matter how many receivers I had hooked up.

Maybe I'm just missing something but the experience so far has been less than great.
