Dish Pro Digital LNBF differences

[HDTVFanAtic]

Does anyone know the difference in the DishPro Model BS1B1UP001M with blue plastic in the connectors (similar to 2G barrells vs 1G barrells) and the DishPro Model PN151019 with white plastic in the connectors?

The PN151019 say assembled in USA and the BS1B1UP001M say made in China.

After cracking the plastic, the actual LNBFs are VERY different inside.

Those model numbers mean nothing but blue isolators in the "F" fittings indicate Dish Pro 3ghz frequencies. The white are probably Legacy LNBs where the frequency is 950-1450.

huh ? BOTH of them DishPro ! 950-1450 AND 1650-2150 MHz ranges
dielectric color DOESN'T matter - the material IS

Like P Smith said, both are clearly DP. The model numbers CLEARLY MEAN SOMETHING as the guts are 100% different.

Also notice the extra width of the plastic (as noted by the tapering) on the BS1B1UP001M as there are more electronics in the BS1B1UP001M.

A quick search on GOOGLE of the 2 numbers show both being sold on ebay as standard DP LNBFs - though again, they are very different in design.

These are what the the inside of the PN151019 look like, compliments of P Smith.

As stated, the BS1B1UP001M is totally different starting at the throat and the rest of the way through the LNBF.

Another guess would be age of LNB I just looked at the 18 DP LNBs I have in inventory and everyone has white isolators but every DPP has blue isolators. Blue was supposed to be an indicator that they were tested to at least 2.5 ghz. DISH contracts for production of products that meet their specifications so different physical products just indicates different producers.

hmmm.....I was under the impression more technically inclined people hung out here but it must be nothing but end users and lowly installers

At the Dishstore we have been getting them in both ways for months now. Nouthing different, I think the blue connectors come from a paticular manufacture or are "New" versions of the Dishpro Dual

The problem is the blue connectors will not work for how we attempting to modify the lnb - and inside there is a major difference. I would think that a newer model would have smaller electronics and more integrated parts - not 100% in the opposite direction.

Is there a price difference or model number difference when you order them on your level?

Going from the bottom of the list to the top of the list, I guess I'm somewhere in between an End User and a Lowly Installer.

But I do like to think I'm technically inclined - even if I don't know what I'm talking about.
