Is Dish Full 'O Crap?

[69 1/2 sixpackbee]

I just "chatted" with the tech and he says I can't add a 111 to my existing service. Is he full of it? I currently have a 722K/222K in my home in California that picks up 119/110/129 birds. In my RV I want to get a 111 ('cause it's small) and I am going to use it with a single LNB dish and setup as Dish300 and point at one bird at a time. I have a Winegard crank up dish currently and am not interested in toting along another multi-LNB with a tripod, etc, etc. The crank up is fine for me. I am not concerned with not being able to get HD either so an SD receiver is fine.
I know the 111 is not MPEG4 but I am in the western arc and from what I am gathering we are not MPEG4 here on the west coast, right?
Is this going to be okay?



Thanx,
Bud

HD accounts are supposed to have all HD receivers. Check the 211k.

His RV isn't a Residential home...DISH considers it separate.
