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. ...

HI...I have DISH Hopper w/ Joeys. I am getting ready to take off in my MH and want to take the Hopper/Joey with me. I have a DISH HD dish and have the wiring set up. Do I have to contact DISH for anything when I get where I am going?
Nope. But if you're going on a long trip (out of range of your local TV stations), then you might want to contact DISH and have them change your Service Address to your current location.

I do have another question. In the LNBs which ports do I use there are 3 then an additional to hook up another dish Do I use Ports 1 and 2.
Port 1, 2, or 3 will do. It doesn't matter which two -- just don't use the 4th one.
Keep in mind that if you're using a Western Arc dish like the 1000.2, you should peak off sat 119. For Eastern Arc, use sat 72. So if you use a signal strength meter, you may want to label coax 119 (or 72).
Here's a photo of 1000.2 (and the 1000.4 Western Arc LNB) coax connections:
