Changing horses in the middle of a stream

What a project - not changing horses, but changing satellite systems - it feels like changing horses though.

Our previous provider (Dish Network) had suddenly decided to stop providing many of the channels we like, no change in the monthly charges of course, so we voted with our $$ and went elsewhere. After several convoluted telephone conversations with Direct TV our tech department (that would be Steve) made the decision to shift to that system. Unfortunately, they don't seem to get the drift that RV folk don't always have a shipping address - and they weren't about to help solve the problem. So, while I was doing the laundry he drove over to see an RV installation company and picked up the hardware there. Once in hand, it seemed like it would be the proverbial piece of cake to get up and going.

With cardboard boxes and packing parts everywhere in our little space the process began of getting the system set up - it didn't go quite as quickly as he planned (does anything?) We had project stacked on top of project as we shifted around the livingroom to work on the set up, fix supper, and accommodate my current sewing project. It was rather comical at one point, resembling a small bomb having been exploded in the rig!  After taking most of the day for set up and recovery we thought it was a good idea to spend an additional day here making sure everything works correctly and getting ourselves organized so we can leave at a reasonable time tomorrow. So far we're happy with the new system, but as soon as I get the remote away from him I anticipate there will be a learning curve figuring out the new system. Gotta keep up with that technology!
