What will SilverIP do on my scheduled day?
SilverIP’s technicians will bring with them your new DirecTV receivers. They will connect and activate the receivers and program your new remote controls to your TVs. The SilverIP techs will then place your Dish Network receivers, remotes and power cables in boxes that will be provided by the Association. Refer to FAQ “What am I supposed to do with my Dish Network receivers?” & FAQ “What if I have an upgraded Dish account that I pay separately to Dish?” below for additional information on the return of DISH equipment.
Are these new DirecTV receivers my receivers to keep?
No. These receivers belong to the Association and are to remain in the unit even when you move out.
What if I can not be home on my scheduled day?
If you can not be home on the scheduled day, the Owner or Tenant should contact SilverIP to make special arrangements. The Owner or Tenant simply has to email us at help@silverip.com or call us at 312-600-3895.
What am I supposed to do with my Dish Network receivers?
Boxes will be provided to each unit Owner to place one (1) Dish Hopper, two (2) DISH Joey, three (3) Remotes & three (3) Power Cables. These boxes must remain in the unit until they are returned to the Property Manager where the return equipment can be logged in. A Dish Equipment Return Schedule will be provided in a separate communication from the building.
What if I have an upgraded Dish account that I pay separately to Dish?
If a resident has an upgraded account that they pay separately to Dish, that account will need to be disconnected (by calling 1.800.454.0843) on their own and at the time of disconnection they will find out whether or not their equipment needs to be returned. A separate cardboard mailing box will be shipped out to those owners from Dish if the equipment needs to be returned. Again, this is only for upgraded accounts.
When will my Dish service end?
Dish service will end on Monday January 31, 2022.
Will I have access to the DirecTV app?
Each resident will get their own individual account number, even if they do not order additional services. With the account number, residents will log on to DIRECTV.com and create a username and password. Through their login credentials, residents will have access to streaming services offered by the channels in the bulk package. HBOmax, Showtime Anywhere, Cinemax Anytime, Starz Streaming, A&E, History, and more are all offered with NO access fee.
How do I set up my DirecTV app once my service is installed?
Hi do I activate HBOMax?
