Hello everyone,
I am new to this page and to the world of satellite communications, as well. I switched from Mediacom cable to Dish Network in February and I love it! I have been paying attention to the various satellite dishes on houses and have noticed differences between them that confuse me. My brand new dish is black with "Dish HD" branding. The word "Dish" is red and the "HD" is white. It also has two feed horns (I'm fairly certain this means it's receiving signals from two satellites, correct?) I believe I am pointed at the 61.5 orbital location because the "What's on DISH?" channel says just that. Are there two satellites at that location? Am I pointed at two different orbital locations at the same time? My neighbors have a dish similar to mine but theirs has 3 feed horns and has a white "DISH" and a red "HD". I would greatly appreciate any knowledge or feedback as I love learning about this stuff.
Thanks!
