I'm in Raleigh, N.C and have a clear shot to both 61.5 and 129. However, if I go w/ 129 (using the 1000 plus) my dish will be much more viewable from the street than if I go w/ 61.5 (using a 500 plus and a seperate 500). With the 2 dish setup both dishes can be pretty much hidden from the street. Can I guarantee that I'll get the 2 dish setup before commiting to go w/ dish for 18 months?

Pretty much the only was to know for sure is to go through a local retailer and get them to agree to this. Most likely they won't have a problem with it.

Call the Dishstore on Monday and we'll set you up under our special promotion...

We can do it with 61.5, you just need to add an international channel like Arabic when the package is ordered to force a 61.5 Dish.

Once the install is completed, call and drop arabic!

go claude's way is much simpler!! than having the dish DNS people come out 10 times and demand one from ceo@dishnetwork because of bad signal. ( thats what happened to me. I have a 1000, dpp44 and 500 after the 10th time.

Claude, could he just say he wants the Pentagon Channel? They sure won't put one up for 148, so that leaves 61.5.

I gave 129 a try, then had them put up a 61.5. Poor LOS anyway. When I moved, I made it clear he had to bring 2 dishes, I would not accept 129. Of course, by then they'd wised up and I think everyone in the DC area now gets 61.5- not just for the HD locals, either.

Your house, should be your final say.
