Will I definitely need a Dish1000 for the new 622?

I have a Dish500 and a 2nd dish pointed to the 61.5 Voom bird, and the CSR told me that would suffice. I don't trust CSR's, but I do trust Satellite guys

Anybody know for sure on this?

No you won't need a 1000. What you have will do the trick.

Thanks

That's good news cause that is what I have.

However, I have a feeling the service tech might show up with a Dish 1000 and be ready to install it anyway. So I am thinking- should I let him go ahead and do it? Does anyone think there might be a good reason to have the Dish 1000 down the road over the current setup I have (Dish 500 110/119 and another pointed at 61.5)? Dish 1000 is included in the lease fee for the 622 so I would hate to turn it down now only to realize I need it later.

I agree with that. Even if it doesn't look like you need it now. And signals for the same programing on different sats aren't always equal. The 148 sat does a much better job with HBO and Showtime HD. If you have the extra dish you can always repoint it as the need arises.
