"Oh I miss Vancouver Island. Been there many many times. What area are you from?" I call it Port McNowhere but some call it Port McNeill.

"I have a DishTurboHD dish and a 1000.2 triple LNB. Would this work (signal wise) for Dishnetwork in the Edmonton (53 degrees N latitude) area?" I live at 50.6 degrees lat on Vancouver Island and have the 1000.2 turbo. Forget about sat 129 cause I can't get it or only very weak no matter how...

In Canada I have never heard of any authorities checking anyone because they had a Dish on their house with the "Dishnet or DTV " markings. Remember just because it says a particular name on it doesn't necessarily mean that's the only Satellite it can be used for. People combine all sorts of...

I know a second Dish could be used for 129 but I would prefer to use only one if possible. I tried to keep my question simple because I just want a simple answer which is: If I set up a 1000.2 and a 1000 Plus side by side (Location irrelevant) and both had the lnb's to receive 110/119/129 Which...

I only plan on ONE Receiver. I am well aware that Dishnet is not availible in Canada. Did you ever think I might be in Canada for 6 months and the US for the other six?

Switch is no problem and I plan on using one anyway. I think bigger Dish = better signal overal and less rain fade but since the 1000.2 is designed for 3 birds and the 1000 Plus for up to 4 I am not entirely sure if it will provide better signal than the 1000.2? That is what I am trying to find...

I thought the 500+ and the 1000+ used the same "Pan" ? Also thought the 500 has the dual LNB for 110/119 and the 1000 has either 3 or 4 Sat combo LNB? I am not sure what the benefit would be using the 1000.4 feed arm? I thought these things are designed with vary specific focal points and mixing...

The facts are: I want "ONE" Dish that will receive Sats 110/119/129 and one coax cable to the house. Assume that each dish would be set up in the same location for comparisons purposes. What Dish would give the highest or best signals? With my limited...

Thanks Iceberg.I knew about the differences in Lnb's. Just needed to know the other things that are different.

Ok thanks very much. So if the arm un bolts or the head assembly has the dithering rod adjustment then it is safe to say it is in fact a 1000.4 dish?

No I don't want the Eastern Arc. I just want to know how I can tell by looking at one whether it's a 1000.4 or 1000.2? Does the feed arm un-bolt from the 1000.2 ? Is there any 1000.2 that have the fine adjustments for tilt like the 1000.4? If the reflector is only slightly larger on the 1000.4...

I want to buy a used 1000.4 Western Arc dish but I don't know how to tell the difference between the 1000.2 and 1000.4. Does anyone have pics of each or know what to look for about the differences?
