I really hope you aren't pointing at the WA with the EA LNB you posted, which is a 1000.2 LNB for a 1000.2 Dish.

THIS is the DPH Twin WA LNBF that goes on the 500 Dish kit

To me that triple (pic'd in post 12) appears to be a WA. Also doesn't EA use 1000.4?

EA can use either dish with the correct LNBF. After the 77 sat access went away, I was using a 1000.4 with a 1000.2 EA LNBF.

HipKat, does the new LNBF-Western DP Hybrid 500 Twin have higher signal readings than the 1000.2 triple lnbs?

I keep saying this. EA 1000.4 dishes have not been installed in over 8 years in most markets.
They developed a 1000.2 EA Twin when the 77 was removed.
Which is the picture I referenced above.

Where are you located with these signal levels?

 

[emdev2]

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

Do you have any switches, splitters, inserters in your new setup? Pics?

the new dish will be posting splitters later on. my signals are on page 2

 

[John2021]

Nope, wouldn't switch it. This new model is only for new installs and only installers have it and won't sell me one.

Why did you want the new dish Does your hopper still look for the 129 when doing a switch check. there supposed to send a firmware update out to kill that sat. so the boxes don't go all crazy..

That's a 500 Dish with the new WA DPH Twin LNBF, which is not the LNBF you posted earlier in this thread.

Because it's new and I want it. Pisses me off I can't find one to purchase it. I don't see the 129 any more in my Hoppers.

wouldn't the bigger reflector pull in more signal ?? when we direct our signal levels were always between 98-100 %!!! and there dish is obscene

Beats me. I was hoping HipKat would let us know if the new two lnb Western Arc model signal readings are better than the 1000.2.

My pics on page 2 are using the new two lnb!!! i guess you could compare them to what your getting... my guess is they sent the firmware update out to disable the hoppers from trying to look for the 129!!! i don't know how i feel about the new dish it makes me feel old . takes me back to the 90's when we all had the pizza sized dish

They sent the firmware out long time ago. I haven't seen 129 for a long time now. If you would say the post number instead of page number makes it easier to find it.
