I have Direcway satellite service and Dish Network AT120 with HD Pack. I have a 105 SuperDish with an 811 and a 510. If I upgrade to lease one of the new HD receivers, I would have to have a Dish 1000 to get 129. Then, I would lose my locals on 105. I do not want a 3rd dish. Dish really needs to come up with a one dish solution. This stinks because I would like to have ESPN2HD, but I don't want a dish farm and I don't want to lose my locals.
 
You already have a dish farm. :D Not as big as mine, though. :)

It turns out that a LNB for 129 can be added to your 105 SuperDish. Basically, you just slap it on the side. You'll need a DPP44 or add DP21(s) to your current config. Depends on how many tuners (NOT receivers) you have.

I don't remember the thread offhand, but a search should find it.
