New HD Subsrciption, HD DVR & Installation - What to Expect

Hi all.
I just subscribed to HD Dish Network through a bundle phone/internet/hd package with ATT in St. Louis.

My new HD Subscription will be the Dish America Everything with ViP 722 DVR & Installation for one HD TV and 3 analog TV's.

I searched the forum a bit but didn't find quite what I was looking for.

I am new to HD and satellite as well as DVR and have been on cable for years.
So all of this is new to me.

Could someone explain all what the Dish install tech will do and what do I have to watch for.

Is there anything I need to coordinate with Dish or ATT before the install?

Do I need to have anything special on hand such as a surge supressor, special cabling/wires, phone jack or other connection for the DVR?

What about connecting a DVD player, do I ask the installer to help or is it easy enough to do later?

Thanks everyone.
