Hello,

Having Dish installed on Sunday 11/9. Question, in the Charlotte NC area, if I am getting the 1000.4 dish, I should only require one dish correct? My package is Turbo Gold HD, plust the Platinum and local HD channels. I "believe" my HD locals are on 61.5. The 1000.4 can get these correct?

THANKS in advance.

Yes. Your market is officially in the "eastern arc". The dish you are getting points to 61.5, 72.7, and 77 and will get all channels in your packages.

If I was to add SD programming, still only need one dish?

Yes, one dish would still work. But you still need a Vip receiver as all the sd would be mpeg4. You cannot use any of Dish's sd receivers.
