Dish 1000.2 with ViP 622

Hello all,
I recently moved from a house to an apartment building and decided to cut down on the amount of dishes, so instead of having two dish 500s, I now have one dish 1000.2. When I went into the point dish screen it doesn't give me an option for 1000.2, just 300, 500, or superdish. I am not sure which dish I should be picking while trying to point the dish. I also noticed I may have some slight tree cover in the way, how much does trees affect the signal? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Set it on D500. look at the installation instructions for D1000.2 here -http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Products/Dishnetwork/Dishes/DISH_1000[1][1].2_Installation_Guide_(_151255).pdf.

Azimuth skew and elevation table starts on page 11.

Remember that the satellite signal comes in from above the dish about 20 degrees higher than what it appears.
