I was just installed with the mandatory dish 1000 with 622 DVR,
Like the others reporting on this set up, the new disk 1000 is too much of a compromise. The signal being only 75% on the weakest sat is too weak. In perfect sunny weather, HBO & Showtime are loosing reception for 2 minutes (goes to retrieving signal mode) all too frequently. A simple rain will wipe them off.
The only cure for this, it would seem would be 3 Dish 500. It would be nice if an amplifier could be added as a fix this but I don't think there is one out there.
I live in Elk Grove (Sacramento CA). The other issue I have is Ch 13 is not coming in from the Off the Air antenna. Previously with a 924, this came in fine.
I would be interested in hearing from others with this set up and the signal strength for each sat.
