Dish 1000 picks up all satellites?

[mlb]

I'm getting 2 stories here in kettering, ohio (45440). I was told by one provider I need a SuperDish and Dish 1000 if I want to get the AT120, HD package, and Voom package. Another provider told me the Dish 1000 will get all. Any way to find out who is correct?

Well, DN says

Congratulations! This address is eligible for the
Dayton, OH (SD 105) Local Network Package
So, you will need a superdish, which will get 105 + 110 + 119

However, EKB shows the dayton locals are on 129 as well, so with a Dish 1000, it should be able to get it all! (110+119+129 = normal stuff + locals + hd and voom!) (if im wrong, someone correct me!)

To answer one of your other questions...neither a superdish, nor a dish 1000, will pickup ALL of Dish Network's satellites.

AFAIK Vooms are still on 61.5, so I highly doubt any of these will do the job alone.

Voom is on 129 sat as well so you can get Dish's main national programming , hd and Voom with a Dish 1000.

I just had a 1000 installed and I get HD, Voom, locals and AT180. I live in Denver and my locals are sitting (or mirrored) on 129.

My dish is picking up 110, 119 and 129.

The dish1000 is all you need. The only question was if you wanted locals thru satellite. My guess is no you don't and you probably prefer the free digital OTA stations in HD.

Yes, I will have an antenna up in order to get my HD OTA's. Apparently I only would miss the 61.5 satellite, which has the HD demo and a national CBS-HD (which I won't be allowed to get anyway).

Thanks for the info.

My dish 1000 picks up all 3 satellites also 110/119/129 in Colorado Springs.

You're not missing that much with the demo channel. It's showing a 30 minute loop that was made back in 2002. It features some excellent clips of the HD-Discovery channel and the new 8psk module now available for the model 6000 (old news). During the nite time it displays fish in various aquariums (nice screen saver).

What you might gain with 61.5 is a few more public interest and international channels. Also that sat has "sky angel" package.

What about that great fish tank from the Mirage Las Vegas

The demo channel is a nice screen saver if you don't have a CRT RP or a plasma set. Otherwise those static, and brightly colored, logos will burn in.

As has been stated, those three satellites aren't all of the satellites that DISH uses. The DISH1000 is designed to pick up 110/119/129. DISH also uses 61.5, 105, 121, and 148.
