My neighbors have two Dish Network dishes on the roof, about ten feet
from each
other. And they each point in a different direction. What's up with that?
Wouldn't they both be pointing to the same spot/satellite in the sky?
Seems odd
to me. One is pointing more or less SW and the other SE.

err.. why don't you ask them?

One may be for high speed internet, one for TV. Why not ask him?

The guy posting this was correct:

"DISH has satellites at 129 degrees West, 119W, 110W, and 61.5W. The
first three are all receivable with ONE stationary dish. The one at
61.5W, however, is not receivable by the dish that receives the other
three. So, if your local network affiliates are on the 61.5W satellite,
you need a second dish to receive them. DISH also has many MPEG4 HDTV
signals at 61.5W."

To make the situation a little easier to manage, "Dish" is offering one unit
to pick up three eastern [or three western satellites]. I'm getting mine
[for northern N.J.] in a few days.
