Ok. Tommypic provided the missing information.
LNB type: DishPro
Switch type: DP34
In order to duplicate the programming you receive at your main house to your lake house you would need the following.
Dish500 with a DishPro Twin LNB aimed @ 110/119
Dish300 with a DishPro Single LNB aimed @ 61.5
DP34 switch.
RG-6 cabling, etc.
If you don't need the programming at 61.5 (WNTV 29, WGGS 16 and international channels) you can get by with just the Dish500/DishPro Twin combination.
If you choose the second option you will need to run a Check Switch on your receiver each time you move it between houses.

Side question: Any spotbeam considerations for locals between "home" and "lake house"? How far apart are they? Where are they?
dont know what spotbeam is , but im getting all my locals now from the dish that has dual lnb. If thats any help dont really know what your talking about
Many locals are carried on spotbeams - that is transmissions that can only be received in certain parts of the country. We don't knw where either of your houses are, so we can't tell you if you're going to be able to receive your locals from the lake house.
If this helps my zip for lake is 29602 an its not but about 30 miles from my house , where i can get locals .
Hey SimpleSimon. Thanks again for the call. You might get tired of hearing this (probably not), but I'll say it anyway. YOU WERE RIGHT. It turned out to be bad cabling - there were no less than FOUR connectors in the length of 100+ cable. I ran a new single cable with connectors on both ends - problems gone. Thanks again!
