Dish 500
A two slot 18" x 20" DBS dish designed to pick up 110° and 119° simultaneously. However it can be used to pick up 119° and 129° or just one satellite location like 61.5° or 148°.

A three slot DBS dish designed to pick up 110°, 119° and 129° simultaneously. This dish can be used to pick up 129° and 148° simultaneously.
Dish 1000.2
Slightly larger than a Dish 1000, its integrated head unit has 3 LNBs (110°, 119° and 129°), an input for a 4th LNB, and DP Plus switching to 3 receiver outputs.

Re: Dish types and uses..
Thank God for this thread and electronics is not one of my favorite hobbies. After reading this thread, I've decided to pickup the super dish 121 because I want sat 121. My questions are what LNBs do I need and will this dish compatible with CW 600s premium and viewsat 7000 pvr? Also, this dish can get HD, true?
Thanks.

Re: Dish types and uses..
Can the super dish receiver sat 118? If so, what LNB do I need to get in addition to the ones that come with the dish? I want to get sat 110, 119, 121 and 118. I read it on another post that most of the Chinese channels have been moved to sat 118.

Re: Dish types and uses..
Heres what you'll need , this is by creative genius,give him the credit.........
Re: your dream sat package Here is the ideal setup for you (and best of all, no dish motor required) but you may have to forego Galaxy.
The best set up if you want to be able to pull down the most variety with the least amount of effort (and without need of a dish motor) is the following, get yourself:
1 - 18" x 24" Eliptical Dish
4 - Dual LNB's
1 - 5 port LNB Mount/Yoke
1 - Disc Switch (4 in /1 Out)
Some Sat Cable and some connectors.
Arrange and mount the LNB's on the pre-engineered 5 point Yoke, so that the 101W LNB area is not populated (i.e., is empty) then mount the 4 LNB's, in their respective places. You'll be able to scan 91W, 82W, 110W and 119W without having to move the dish at all (no motor).
Once you lock onto 91W the others are automatically 99% there.
Hope that helps.
Creative Genius
