Old ui looked cleaner to me

[HoppertheKangaroo18]

You have 2 lnb , dp 34 dp 44 and a 922 heading your way. Have fun setting it up. Post how it goes. I remember those days with dishes all over my yard switches and wires everywhere. If they switch back to 110 and 119 I will have to break out the old setup.

Thanks so much! I'll post on here and a few videos on my youtube channel HoppertheKangarooTech

That was the Dish that came with my original Dish 2000 receiver in 1996. The Dish 500 came with my JVC HM-DSR100U in 1998.

Dish dropped the 811 pretty quick after the ViP 411 and 211 were released. I know they could get 61.5°W and the Western Arc 110°W/119°W/129°W satellites, but whether one could pick up the additional 72°W/77°W of the Eastern Arc is questionable.

Once we got the Hopper 3 and 4K Joey, we were pretty much set. Hard to believe we've had it for nine years now. I used to be upgrading hardware every few years before the Hopper 3.

What was the user interface like on this?

Based on the Dish 5000 receiver, it featured the first-generation GUI, like the screen shot dishdude posted here.

Here's a dish guide I recreated in Google drive last year VS the real one

When they were launching the new UI with the iTV apps, they made fun of that padlock in the guide on one of the Charlie Chats. Can't remember if it was Jim or Charlie that said the padlock now looks like a lock.

Here's a 121 superdish I spotted at a local trust bank last month. I'm surprised it's still there! Lol
