I've yet to move into my house. Still working on it.
No, I haven't set mine up yet. but helped a few neighbors set up theirs. Dish 500 (dual lnb) will not work here. The dish is too small. Only 119 is dish's newest bird with spot beam. 110 doesn't have that ability and you will never get 110 with a small dish. You can get a better signal by upgrading the LNB's... But your best bang is getting a bigger dish. Tho, if your upgrading your dish you might as well get a dish and LNB package.
Some people don't like the look of hanging two huge dishes off of the side of their home... There are a few options buy a Toroidal type dish like a T90 or buy a motor to move the dish. The motor setup is nice tho, if you like channel surf ... Esp between different birds then it can take 3-5 seconds for the motor to move... where as fixed dish is rapid fire. I have not installed a Toroidal type dish, tho, I think it would work here.
Good Luck!
