DISH TV HD dish?

Question

I have a DISH 2700 receiver and need a new antenna,. To prepare for the future I would like to install the required HD DISH equipment (Dish, LNBs, etc.) now. What HD DISH Equipment do I need to be compatible with the existing 2700 receiver and still work with a HD receiver that I may get in the future?

Answer 1

When you do the upgrade they will upgrade your dish too.  I would go ahead and do everything at the same time.  

I would also suggest getting a 722 when you upgrade.  My wife and I have it and we love that receiver.  We do have a dish 1000.2 dish in order to get the hd programming.  It's about 4 inches bigger than our old dish.  

I don't think that the 1000.2 is compatible with the 2700 so I would upgrade everything at the same time.
