[DISH] Doing a roofing job.

I'll be doing a roofing job soon and i have two dishes up there for my HDTV.. Dish has one dish set up now don't they for HDTV and regular channels? Would it be hard to set up my own dish? Or should i have them come back out to do it?
They should have done one dish setup to begin with since they had it available at the time.

I'll call them but i wanted to see what guys had to say first. I suppose i would have to purchase a new dish.

Re: [DISH] Doing a roofing job.

Depending on where you are in the US. a 1000.4 or a 1000.2 is what you want.
If they put up two I doubt they are going to come out and replace it with a 1000.2 or a 1000.4.
Now you can buy one of those and set it up yourself or you can have a sat installer do it for you for a small charge.

Thanks.. yes i see 1000.4 would be best after googling that. Guess i'll call the installer find out how much it will cost. I think my receiver is good. But been thinking of upgrading that to.

If you go eastern arc (1000.4) you'll have to have all mpeg4 receivers (ViP models).

Yes minor local markets and foreign stations can be WAY off the main 109-122 deg arc and require a second dish.

Re: [DISH] Doing a roofing job.

Again MOST stuff works with one oval multi LNB dish now but not everything, especially if you are a minor local market (and can't get OTA locals) or want foreign language stations.
