Yes, I'm using a 1000.2. I dumped the portable antenna for a few reasons. One, is the farther north you go the more atmosphere you go through so it is more affected by rain or dew. I kept loosing HD signal. The other was I was tired of only having one channel at a time, limitation of the portable antenna (tailgater) and the vip211.
The meter really makes point the dish easy after a little bit of practice. A few tips: You set the elevation and skew on a bench before mounting it on the tripod. I use

Another tip for Dish setup that is critical. Spend time making sure the tripod is perfectly plumb. I use a torpedo level, checking 3 vertical points, then horizontal prior to attaching the dish. Doing so makes hitting the satellite a piece of cake.
I rented the Joey as part of my home account, but take it with me in the RV. You should be able to purchase it too if you wish.
