Just getting ready to upgrade to HD package / 722. Just so I know I'm getting the 'latest' equipment, what model should the dish itself be? Right now I've got a (Dish-500), which I know has to be changed, but is the model (Dish-1000) the latest, or is there a model even above that now??

Also, if the 722 is the ONLY receiver in my house will I be charged a 'lease fee' for that? How much?? I come from way back when there was no 'fee' for a primary receiver and ONLY on any additional receivers one might add.

Lastly, I'm going to run a new coax feed into the house, and I've got some RG6 Quad sheild rated for 2300 mhz .... is this still good enough or should I run 3000 mhz for possible 'future' reasons??

Thanks ;)

1000.2 for the western arc and 1000.4 for the eastern arc are the latest one-dish solutions.

No fee for the first receiver. I'd run the higher swept cable myself.
 

Bad Switch?
