I just had my installer come to put in the Dish 1000 and he says it won't work down here in S Florida. He did not try to install one, nor did he bring one, he instead wanted to install a second dish on 61.5. I told him Voom was mirrored on 129 same as 61.5 and he was surprised. I called Dish and the customer service girl I spoke with agreed with the installer. I cannot face East with the 61.5 so the 1000 is my only option.
