HD at Home/SD Signal at Cabin with Dish 500?

[dtw-dave]

Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed light on this ... I can't get close to an answer anywhere online yet!

I want to upgrade to Dish Network HD at my home (and of course get a HD DVR). But I also have a 508 DVR in another room that I take to my cabin when I'm up there ... currently picking up 110 and 119 satellite signals with a Dish Pro (Dish 500 I think).

Here's my question: If I upgrade to HD at my home, will my 508 and the Dish 500 equipment at my cabin still pick up ANY signal, or do I have to upgrade that dish and LNBFs, too? Not looking for HD there, just a SD signal, and hopefully the same channels I get at home.

Thanks!

No changes need to be made at the cabin. It'll be the same as before with the 508 as long as you keep it activated on the account.

The only difference should be running a switch test each time you move the receiver.
