3-6-17 - dixie & don here to say we've had some issues finally with our satellite reception after some 10 or 12 years never being touched or repointed on the roof of our condo, it lasted a lot longer than i thought it would, through a lot of windstorms etc. and back a few years ago "bel air internet" took over our condo complex, and installed dishes on all the buildings, but i was afraid to go with the new company for fear of the fact that i heard they wanted to give us all new equipment including new boxes, or receivers etc. and i didn't want to do that for fear of losing something like 10 years and hundreds of hours of my favorite shows recorded on those existing boxes, but as it turns out you can get a lot done if you talk to the right people like "mitchel juse" at "bel air internet", who was extremely helpful, and friendly, and professional, and fairly easy to get a hold of......as it turns out our existing boxes are "swim" compatible after all, and quite compatible with the "bel air" system, (we were told incorrectly in the past, when they were first moving into this complex)..........
so mitchel sent out a guy the same day that i called, his name was "angelo" and he could not have been a nicer guy, and friendly, and helpful, and fast, he switched us over to the "bel air" dish that was already on the roof, and hooked up our boxes in less than and hour, and he did it all on one line too, so he didn't have to mess with our cox internet, and phone line etc. the guy totally knew what he was doing, and was fast, and he could not have been nicer, or more professional..............so if you were like me and avoiding going with this new company because you are afraid to have to pay for all new equipment, and lose all your hundreds of hours of favorite shows you have recorded over the years, call mitchel at "bel air internet" and tell him you read this, and want to get hooked up. his number is 1-818-449-2626 and ask him to send out angelo if you live anywhere near henderson, nevada - i think you should be happy with the results - good to have our hd and local channels back again, works perfect now.........(note that some of the older non-hd boxes are apparently not "swim" compatible and unable to work with the "bel air internet" system, but most of the black receivers that are hd-dvr's should be ok to work with their system, if they aren't too old, i think if they are 5,6,7,8, years old they should be ok with their system, but anyway call mitchel to find out for sure, but if it say "swm" on the back of the box by where you hook up the lines, (the boxes that use to hook up with 2 lines now only need one line with the bel air system) you should be good to go if it says "swm" on the back, and especially if you call mitchel and angelo at "bel air internet" they should be able to get you going again in hd, and they are totally professional, and friendly about it, give them a call !!!!!!! read more
