HD being on the 61.5 sat may pose a problem for a mobile set up. Years ago at home when Dish first came out with HD we had one antenna pointed at the 110/119 sats, but they installed a separate antenna pointed at the 61.5 sat so that we would have our locals in HD and have all the other package channels that were on 110/119/129. Later they moved the local HD channels to 110 and removed the separate antenna. Such a setup of two separate antennas would be problematic for an RV.
You can now get a 1000.2 or 1000.4 with interchangeable WA and EA LNB assemblies. Things have been greatly simplified since the “old days”. I don’t know of any remaining “split arc” markets as you describe.
On edit: I didn’t know of any until I just looked up Rapid City again. I’m looking at an unofficial listing but if it’s accurate, you are correct. You can’t get the full channel line up with a single dish. Could that be true? I’m a little skeptical.
