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. ...

You have a 1000.4 Eastern Arc dish at your house which points about 10 degrees higher than your Dish 500.
You might be able to still use your Western Arc Dish 500 -- just remember it will be at lower elevation on the East Coast. Also, to use both tuners on your 612, buy a DISH Pro Separator or take the one that is probably at your house.
