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. ...

If you have a 1000.4 antenna then you cannot point that antenna to 110 and 119. You should be able to replace the 1000.4 LNB with a 1000.2 LNB and use the same antenna. The 1000.4 LNB spread is different than the 1000.2 LNB spread and therefore not compatible.
You don't need any special tools to point the antenna as the EA and WA satellites broadcast the exact same kind of signal (KU band). The Dish 500 antenna/LNB would get you 110 and 119 only or the 1000.2 antenna/LNB can, if you choose, receive 110, 119 and 129.
This link goes to 1000.4 western arc LNBF that's sold through Amazon. I have one that I switch out with my eastern arc LNBF as needed for a clean sight line.
