What dish for HD upgrade?

[bnewt]

Saturday I am scheduled for an HD upgrade from Dish 500, 625 & 4900 to (2) 722's + possibly adding a 211 later. What dish should I be receiving? Tech support said he thought it would be 1000.4, but previously was told it would be 1000.2.

Need to know your location to answer this one.

Location, location, location

The 1000.2 is W USA mostly and the 1000.4 is mostly E USA but to be sure we relly have to know where you are located.

The 1000.4 (Eastern Arc dish) is supposed to be limited to new subscribers in 20-something DMAs for the time being. Based on that I would guess you'd be getting a 1000.2. You may be getting a second 500 though if your locals are on 61.5. I assume your 500 is already pointed at 110 and 119. Anything's possible with E* though. It's not a defect but part of the plan.

Sorry about that.........located in just south of Louisville, Ky. Are the 1000.2 & 1000.4 different sizes? My present 500 receives 110 & 119.
