I need to get some information. I am wanting to set up a tailgating rig to watch tv at Univ of Illinois football games this fall. I am going to take my 612 on the road with me, but I want to know which dish i need to buy. I want to get HD channels that are on 110,119 and 129 for sure. I was looking at dishes and it seems as if I need a 1000 series dish. But, during my research I have found 2 types a 1000.2 & 1000.4. Which one would be best for my application? Would i need anything other than my 612, the dish and the Dish Pro Plus LNB and some sort of tripod? Thanks in advance for your answers!

1000.2. 1000.4 is for 61.5, 72 and 77.

You need the Dish 1000.2.

The 1000.4 Dish is for the "Eastern Arc" satellites, and might also work for you, but it's a bit harder to set up and due to having older satellites originally designed to be in other locations, the signal strength is lower on EA.
