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. ...

That confirms the Dish moved your service to the Eastern Dish satellites (61.5, 72.7, 77). That's not bad, just different. If you want to be able to receive your GA local Network programming you will need to use Dish 1000.4 antenna as I don't think the Dish 500 LNB spacing will be the same when trying to find 110 and 119 (9 degrees) or 61.5 and 72.7 (11 degrees). If you use the 1000.4 as a portable antenna you will also not need to do a new check switch when moving between home and RV. If you plan to travel far enough from home that you would no longer receiver locals then you can use either antenna to point to EA or WA satellites depending upon location and tree clearance. Just requires a new check switch routine when changing setups.
