That's going to be the "old" 500 dish (110/119) that came out in 1998 but with the newest LNBF to handle all the newest rx's.

I think the signal might be a bit better without the added 3rd slot. The 1000 dish was just a bit small for its job and 129 was weak to begin with, so by time you got 129 maxed for what you were going to get, the 110 and 119, while stronger, might not have been optimal. Might be a giod tome for anyone with a 1000.2 to recheck alignment with just 110 and 119

Will be uploading pics of the new dish and the signal levels in the next couple of days!!! ;). just have been busy moving is so much fun and something i never want to do again :mad:
 
Boy the lnb eyes are much bigger then the triple lnb. I wonder if the strength of signal is any higher with this one, since you don't have to see all 3 anymore?
I think the signal levels are the same as the triple LNB i could be wrong.. I also heard people that have hoppers and the triple LNB that when doing the check switch it screws with the hoppers since it can't find the 129. if they didn't send a firmware update out yet they will be doing so..
