If you are a new subscriber to E* (Dish Network), you will not have to buy anything. E* will install the proper dish for the subscription package that you have selected for free.

i am not a new subscriber --that is why i want to buy it off ebay.

Without the need for HD then a D500 dish will fit your needs.

To add to the question...

If they are going HD are the only two new customer HD options a 1000.2 or 1000.4 or are there areas, say in california, that would require anything different?

The 1000.2 is for western arc markets and the 1000.4 is for eastern arc markets. Depending on the satellite where your locals are placed it is possible that an additional wing satellite may be required. Some HD subs use 2 Dish 500s. Some have one pointed at 110/119 and a second at 61.5 or 129. Latino programming customers usually use a 1000+ antenna.

D500 is available from the DishStore. Please support our sponsors.

I had to install a Dish1000+ to get my locals in HD as they come off of the 118.7 sat. Otherwise I would need a dish pointed at the 61.5 sat to get them.
