I know nothing about Dish's sat's. I am in south carolina and am coming from D* where we have 2 dish's. I notice the people around me have Dish 500's, is that what Ill get (Americas 250 with HD programming). Just kinda curious if its a 500 or 1000.

Just got an email stating that I am getting:
Dish 1000.2 KIT
DISH 1000.2 KIT
DISH 500
Leased VIP622 System
I was hoping to get away from 2 dish's but this doesn't look like it.

It should just be 1 dish... the Dish 1000.2. That picks up the 110, 119, and 129 satellites that are needed for the core dish programming, and the HD programming.
Good. I'm taking up the 2 dish's from D* tomorrow and was hoping to have something a little smaller being that Im in a rental. With D* I had to have the large 5lnb + a small single lnb for the locals. My installer mounted them on two different poles which was also not so great.
yeah.... it will be a little smaller, but not much... the 1000.2 is a pretty big dish itself

I have a 1000.2 and to me it's not that big. Just a little bigger than a Directv 3 lnbs. Now, the Directv with 5 lnbs is huge but the Slimline seems to be smaller so D* realized that the dish was too big.
To the OP, the 1000.2 will be smaller than the D* 5 lnbs dish.

Thanks for the help guys, I actually found a 1000 near me and it is much smaller. I have the AT9 original 5 lnb, freakin huge.
The 1000.2 is slightly bigger than the 1000. Search the forum, someone posted the dimensions for both.
I was wrong, the actual 1000.2 measurements are closer to 21X26 so it is a big sucker too.
If the OP is in South Carolina, i'm thinking he WILL need the 2nd dish to pick up 61.5 for his HD's.
129 would be tough.

Good for you. I'm in Florida so I have to use 2 dishes. It's not a big deal to me though. They're both tucked away in kind of an outside corner of the back of my house.
