I'm planning to switch to Dish Network. When I looked at the options on the Dish website it said that I may need 2 dishes to be able to pick up all local stations. My apartment complex will only allow 1 dish. Can anyone tell me if I will really need 2 dishes? My location is Omaha, NE.
Do I really need 2 dishes?

It all depends on you. KYNE TV 26 PBS is the only local channel for Omaha at 148, the rest are at 110. If you watch that channel then you need the second dish pointing at 148. Otherwise, you just need one Dish500 pointing at 119 and 110.
Thanks RandallA, Could you, or anyone, tell me how to find that information? I'm planning on "moving" after I get the system set up so that I can receive the Des Moines, IA stations while in Omaha. I would like to see if Des Moines locals would also work with one dish (on 119 or 110). Thanks again.
Des Moines and Omaha are both on the same spot beam at 110 so at least that isn't an issue right now.
See ya

You're thinking of DirecTV
