1000.4 (EA) LNB on 1000 or Plus dish??

Hi guys,

I know this has been answered before but I tried search and couldn't find it.

Can an EA LNB (1000.4) be mounted on either a Dish 1000 or a Dish Plus?

Does the arm need to be shortened and if so does anyone know the proper length?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Dave

Lineman,

Thanks for the quick reply. That thread is one I found, hence the arm length question.

I have a Dish 1000, and a Dish Plus, and an EA LNB, BUT I don't have the stinkin EA arm :-)

From what I read the EA arm is shorter, so I guess my biggest question is how much shorter, or if anyone knows the correct lengh of the EA arm. I have plenty of hacksaws and it would be nothing to shorten the arm, just need to know how much.

Thanks again!

Exactly 19"

Hope it works out! I haven't had a signal issue once since I used the larger dish even with the rains from Ida last week. IMO this should be the standard reflector size for the 1000.4 dish. The real test will be with the spring and summer storms.
