Lol you actually think that Charlie gave to squirts about what dish was being used? No, Maybe a few EVP's would have cared and said something about it, but things are so different from region to region that I doubt Charlie even knew what was going on. This is Dish we are talking about, not a highly organized company that the left hand actually knows what the right hand is doing. Cost or not, they probably did it to see what signals would be like with that dish around the country, or to get all the 1k2 setup's back so that they can count them one by one, yeah thats it, it makes sense right!! Yes the 1k4 may cost more, but if signal strengths were better, and the remote possibility that TC's could be avoided by that, maybe they would have left them...But honestly, its dish, the same company that has done more irrational projects and out of market trips for wasteful reasons than any company I have ever heard of.
