Can anyone tell me if all Dish TV receivers use the same satellites. I have a Dish Wally that uses 110, 119 and 129. I see others aiming their dishes in completely different directions. Just curious.

Dish is also on 77 72.7 61.5 .. the eastern arc for east coast towns mostly east of the Mississippi. The wally can receive them yes but needs a dish with the proper settings or spread to receive them. They are duplications of the west except for locals which in the east need those satellites for high def pictureDirectv also points to a different set of satellites ( different direction) if your looking at them

I use a Tailgater antenna. Have always set it up for the western satellites. Using the Tailgater, will I be able to use the eastern arc satellites?

Currently the Winegard Pathway X2 is the only portable dome style dish that's capable of receiving the full set of Dish eastern and western satellites.

You might also see folks pointing their antenna in a different direction as they are receiving the DirecTV signal at 99, 101 and 103.

The dish isn't hybrid pro, the LNB is.

Really? Most folks refer to the whole assembly as a "dish". But if ya want to split hairs.

If you currently have a Dish 1000.2 dish using either arc with a Wally or Hopper 1 or 2 and upgrade to a Hopper 3, all the tech will do at the dish is change the LNB to the required hybrid LNB. No dish change needed. If you have a 1000.4 dish, there is no hybrid LNB that fits it directly, but a simple mod will allow an original 1000.2 hybrid LNB to be installed. The new slimline hybrid LNB cannot be used though.
