I'm not the OP but am also looking to use DISH. do I have to subscribe to one arc or the other or can I use the eastern arc birds when out east and the western arc birds out west? do I need a different sat dish for each arc or is this just a matter of aiming the dish?
1) NO you do not subscribe to any arcs just to the programming package you want. You can access that programming off either of the arcs.
2) Depends on the equipment, open face antennas (1000.2 or 1000.4) are set up for specific arc configurations. Some automatic dome type antennas can be changed from one arc to the other, but not easily. Some portable automatic antennas like the Winegard Pathway x2 can be switched easily between arc settings.
