    LNB Caps shot

    The 1000.2 reflector is slightly smaller than the 1000.4 reflector,so there may be some slight signal strength loss. A .2 LNB works perfectly with a .4 reflector, but I have not tried one the other way around.

    O When we were fulltiming and primarily using state and national parks on the east coast, we had usable cell based Internet with either our AT&T or Verizon unlimited data hot spot services using rooftop antennas, and often both, everywhere we went.

    What’s keeping you guys with Dish Network…

    We still have Dish on hold while we try streaming with YTTV and a few other apps. I have to say though, we've been pleasantly surprised at how easy the transition is going. We continue to find features and short cuts regularly that are making the transition even easier. The true test though...

    Amazon shutting down it's FreeVee service?

    Winegard Pathfinder and Two Wallys?

    How to tell a 1000.4 vs 1000.2 Dish?
