What dish am I getting?

[CaseLogic]

As far as I know, they have dishes that are Dish 500, Dish 1000, SuperDISH, etc. This is what my sales confirmation says:

EQUIPMENT: 110/119 ORBIT Wing dish

What does that mean I'm getting?

You will be getting a Dish 500 for 110/119 and the wing dish for 61.5 for your HD and your HD Locals.

but do they both point in the same direction? If you think I know anything, you're wrong

Austin HD locals come from 61.5W which is decidedly in a different direction that 110W and 119W. The dishes will be facing a little over 90 degrees apart.

Dish for 110/119 should be SW, 61.5 is not quite totally east. Nothing to the north.

I live in the Austin market, and here's how mine's setup.

I've had a dish 1000 v1 for almost two years, receiving 110, 119, and 129. Worked very well, I've actually never had any problems with 129 like some.

Anyway, I recently added a 2nd VIP receiver, and also had a wing-dish installed for HD locals.

What they did was take my Dish 1000, and remove the 129 LNB, so now it just picks up 110 and 119. They added a Dish 500 with a single LNB pointing at 61.5, and all are connected to a switch which drives my three DVR's.

Like they said, the dishes point about 90-degrees apart it seems; the 1000 pointing southwest, the 500 wing dish southeast.

Looks funny, but works perfect. I've been very happy with performance of it.

if starting from scratch, I see no reason to use a 1000 dish for the first dish though. Could just use two 500's.
