Can I do a self install of Satellite dish & receiver?

[sunnyslopes]

is there a way to get a dish and receiver without having to go through the nonsense of talking to reps.  been talking to different reps, at different levels about having equipment shipped and/or installed at my house and so far we have had no luck.

I have the second receiver and it has been activated. I do not have bell fibe in my area. Do I need to connect it to my satellite and if so how would I go about that?

• If you are a new customer, Bell Satellite TV needs to be installed professionally.
• The technician will bring the satellite dish to your home and will ensure that it is properly installed and configured.
• If you are an existing Bell Satellite TV customer, you can install additional receivers that you have purchased yourself. We recommend that HD PVRs be installed professionally due to their complexity.
• If you are renting your receivers, a professional install is always required.
