Dish Network compatibility??????????
A year or so I upgraded my Home Dish from Dish 500, which pointed kinda South, to the other satellite with HDTV. They installed a receiver, VIP 612 DVR, with a new antenna and pointed it kinda East. ...

Your signal strength is low for a home antenna. Should be closer to 70 but otherwise I would not be concerned.
Can you get to the specific screen I mentioned where you click on the button that says Check Switch? You are on the Point Dish screen currently and in the upper right you should see the button labeled Check Switch. Click on the but do not click on any other option on that screen. I suspect you will see 61.5 and 72.7 listed only. Assuming I am correct then your home system is setup for the Eastern Arc satellites but you will be able to change that with a new Check Switch routine once you move to your RV. You will need a new portable antenna if you want to be able to pick up your local Network programming (now on 61.5) but that's cheap and easy and sets up just like your old Dish 500 did.
