Dish or DTV
We have a trac vision dome and DTV now. The old SD receivers. Are thinking of getting a new dish and going HD. I see the prices of the dishes at camping world but wondered how much more it will cost...

If you get set up and have no locals call Dish and give them the new service address. Hit the guide button and when you see the old channels turn red you know the process is starting, usually in a few minutes. The old channels will be removed from the guide and the new ones then come in. Usually takes about 10 minutes total. Then you need to reboot to bring in the guide data for the new locals. If nothing happens in 15-20 minutes, call Dish back and tell them you changed your service area but it didn't work so please do it again. 9 times out of 10 they get it right the first time.
How close do you need to be to your service address to receive the local channel signal? I was told they use a spot signal that is only about 100 miles wide. Do you change the address everyday while traveling?
