Move questions: moving service, dish location, wires inside or out
I'm moving to a new house in a few weeks a few questions:
Is there still a free moving service?
Do I have to sign a contract?
Can I get a new receiver AND keep my old one for a second TV? How much?
On a previous house I knew where the dish was going so I pre-planned a path for the cables INSIDE the house, can I get an installer to show me where the dish will be then come back a few days later after I run a pull string?
The house used to have Comcast and was pre-wired with coax to all the rooms so I need to bring the coax to that wiring point, right?

dishpointer.com will show possible places for the dish or there are apps for phones.

Finally called the 800#
They are not charging me for the move
They are knocking $50 of my monthly bill for 12 months
No they won't scope out the location ahead of time, but it sounds like I might be able to keep the tech working for four hours to do it my way - I'll scope out two alternate paths for the coax ahead of time - one through a crawl space and parallel to a heating duct, the other by drilling holes between floors and ceilings of the 1st floor walk-in closet that is directly under the 2nd floor walk in closet - then cover with some trim of some sort
