is dish 1000.2 obsolete soon?

[kirillich]

Hello,
Anyone has any information regarding any future dish upgrades coming up? How soon will this happen, what exactly will be done and is dish 1000.2 will become obsolete or more difficult to install compared to the new one. I have someone is offering me to purchase 60 dishes for a good price and I heard about some type of future upgrade. Thank in advance!

Depending on how good a deal, there was a post in another thread that shown that the 1000.2 will be around for awhile, right now. This could change in the future, but the specs they provided in the "new LNB" thread started by Schermann, does not show it works with VIP equipment.

The Dish 1000.2 will stick around. It's the Dish 1000.4 that has limited time left for new installs.

That's a shame, the 1k4 is a better dish for both arcs. The bigger reflector and fine tune adjustments are both pluses imo.

The new LNB's only work on the 1000.2.

Sounds like a cost saver.

Makes installs a lot easier too.

Sounds like DISH is starting to use the K.I.S.S. method; Keep it simple stupid!
