I have a 522 and an 811 receiver and am scheduled for an upgrade this weekend of my 811 to a 211. I was told that a second dish will need to be installed and my original dish will remain. I assumed that the new dish was for the 811 and the old one for the 522, but I've been told by tech support that I need two because of my geographical location (Connecticut). I was hoping that I could upgrade the 522 as well and not need both dishes. Is tech support correct?
 
61.5 carries most of the national HD and a lot of HD locals. Nearly all HD is already in mpeg4 and the few national HD that are on 110 in mpeg2 are scheduled to go to mpeg4 no later than the end of September iirc.
