There are 3 basic levels of DISH Antennas
300 is a SOLO (one lens) it can see 110, OR 119 or.. any satellite in the proper frequency band but only ONE of them
A 500 has one head, but it has two lenses (Eyes if you like or Hockey pucks) it is an OVAL dish, not a round, it has 3 adjustments, Azimuth (Direction) Elevation and Skew (Tilt) and it can see 110 and 119 at the same time.. NOTE that both sats are delivered to both ports in normal use, 110/119 only applies with some multi-receiver switches. (Which you do not need on a motor home)
The DISH 1000, is a triple (3 sats at a time, 3 hockey pucks) but you do not need that one.
Does this help?
