Wyatt G @ Jul 16th 2008 12:29PM
No mention that one of DISH's sats went bye-bye the day before???

You only need two satellite dishes if you want to receive local HD programming through them, or if you subscribe to special channels (such as foreign TV).
Everything on the HD list on their website can be received with one satellite dish.

Correction: I think the 2nd satellite dish requirement for local channels depends on your location

I have the HD only package and receive local channels and I use one dish. I live in Flagstaff, AZ.
