Saturday I am scheduled for an HD upgrade from Dish 500, 625 & 4900 to (2) 722's + possibly adding a 211 later. What dish should I be receiving? Tech support said he thought it would be 1000.4, but previously was told it would be 1000.2.

The 1000.2 is W USA mostly and the 1000.4 is mostly E USA but to be sure we relly have to know where you are located.

The 1000.4 (Eastern Arc dish) is supposed to be limited to new subscribers in 20-something DMAs for the time being. Based on that I would guess you'd be getting a 1000.2. You may be getting a second 500 though if your locals are on 61.5. I assume your 500 is already pointed at 110 and 119. Anything's possible with E* though. It's not a defect but part of the plan.

Sorry about that.........located in just south of Louisville, Ky. Are the 1000.2 & 1000.4 different sizes? My present 500 receives 110 & 119.
