So which is the correct dish to use with a Hybrid EA 2 sat?

1000.2

1000.2

That is odd as I have 3 of them all on 1K.4 dishes. 2 I installed and 1 that a Dish tech installed.

Yes that is odd. And not supported.

What color is the 1000.4 reflector with the WA LNBF?

What do you mean by not supported.

 

[az99]

What color is the 1000.4 reflector with the WA LNBF?

Here is a good link that shows the difference between .2 and .4. 1000.2 vs 1000.4 Satellite Dishes

 

[JSheridan]

What do you mean by not supported.

Not recommended, designed for or intended to be used together.

LNB's are designed for specific dishes including focal point placement. The Hybrid EA LNB was designed for the 1000.2 dish. It was not designed to work with any other model dish.

All of the combo stuff for the 1000.2 and the 1000.4 dishes have me totally confused. I am presently on the 1000+ dish and thinking of doing away with 118.7 and change the dish out to Western Arc 110, 119, 129 birds. Here is my wish list for the dish that I want if it is possible. If possible, what model dish is it? Thanks for your help.

1. Larger Reflector which I think is the 1000.4
2. Black Reflector
3. Non Hybrid Western Arc LNBs (I have a DPH42 switch)
4. Dish Mounting Bracket that has the elevation adjustment rod

You would need a1000.4 dish with a WA LNB, which are pretty rare.

So the 1000.4 with WA LNBs has all them things in my wish list? Why are they rare? Does DISH no longer stock them? Do you have any for sale at your retail store?

 

[az99]

1000.4 is the only one with the adjuster.

 

[az99]

I used the standard WA 3 head on my 1000.4 and it worked just fine. They are available anywhere. And cheap.

Is the elevation rod adjuster a nice feature? I would think you could really fine tune the elevation with the adjuster rod.

So what do I need to order? A 1000.4 dish and then purchase the WA LNB assembly separate. Will it all bolt together ok?

 

[Brussam]

I use a DPP 1000.2 dish and I have screw elevation control using a mod kit from TV4RV.com, Satellite Dish Conversion Kit.

Wouldn't be without it.

A DPP 1000.2 breaks down to a smaller package to carry.

Thanks Brussam. Wouldn't the bigger 1000.4 dish work better?

 

[Brussam]

I guess but a DPP 1000.2 has worked okay for me. We were just out to Prince Edward Island and only the too low on the horizon kept us from getting 129 from the WA. Likewise we were pulling the EA from the top of the Gaspe Peninsula.

Understand, thanks.

Unless it's the specific WA LNB that's designed for the 1000.4 dish then it's not a compatible LNB. The WA 1000.4 LNB is NOT common. The WA 1000.2 LNB on a 1000.4 dish would be a hack at best.
