I just got my first HDTV (37" Vizio, nice set btw) and I'm thinking of moving from our old Directv box to Directv HD. Now I know I'm going to need a new dish (the 5lnb job) and the new HD20 receiver.

My question is: Should I just get the equipment through Directv and have the installer come and set it up or can I save a little money and buy the equipment myself and setup the hardware? Anyone have any experience with this? I have set up several mini dishes so I don't think I would have a problem with that (unless the HD setup is a lot different).
