Dish Pay as you go

I have a Winegard Mission dome satellite dish. I want to switch to Dish network. If I put in 2 Wallys, can I watch two different channels at the same time on two different TVs?

    Actually there are 3 Eastern Arc Satellites 61.5, 72.7, & 77. The 77 satellite carries mostly foreign language channels and some local channel spot beams.

    The 77 sat also carries many of the same programs that 61.5 carries, only in SD. And they're in English... ;)

    Twelve of the local markets on 77 are CONUS beamed in HD.

  • Yes, BUT, both channels have to be on the same satellite. DISH Network uses three satellites. The RoadTrip Mission antenna, like all dome antennas, only has one LNB and therefore can only "see" one satellite at a time.
