Size of 1000.3 dish?

[comfortably_numb]

When they installed my Hopper 3, they put up what I believe is a 1000.3 EA dish. What are the dimensions of that dish?

 

[Rainy99]

there is no dish 1000.3 maybe a dish 1000.2

There is a 1000.3; it is for H3 and Wally installs: DISH Network Hybrid Pro Eastern Arc LNB Dish Antenna (DISH1000.3-EA) from Solid Signal

From the not so descriptive image it looks like a 1000.4 with a hybrid LNB. Say what?

 

[comfortably_numb]

Yeah, that's what the installer put up when he came out. There was a 1000.2 up there already and he said it "wouldn't work" for my H3

From the text description:

"The DISH 1000.3 provides reception from the 72.7 and 61.5 DBS orbital locations, using a dish antenna size similar to a DISH 1000. This allows for the connection of up to three receivers and a second dish for a fourth orbital location. The Dish Network DPH Eastern Arc Twin LNB is only designed for Eastern Arc installations. For Hopper 3 or Wally installs only. "

3 receivers?
And a second dish?
Hopper 3 or Wally only?

Yeah, that's what the installer put up when he came out. There was a 1000.2 up there already and he said it "wouldn't work" for my H3

LOL That's a new one. A 1000.2 won't work for a Hopper 3?!?

 

[comfortably_numb]

Yeah, so now there are 2 EA dishes up there. The 1000.2 and this newer one.

Nice pic.

 

[JSheridan]

Which one is the new one, second from the left?

Yes

 

[comfortably_numb]

Nice pic.

Thanks. The dish on the far right is a 75cm KU dish for 121 and 125. I have a 90cm on the ground as well.

 

[JSheridan]

I don't see an elevation rod on the back so maybe not a converted 1000.4.

BTW, thanks for posting. This is the first I'm hearing of this.

And one installed by a tech that cares how it looks and one by a tech that doesn't.....

 

[comfortably_numb]

Notice the slight differences between the LNB’s on the 1000.2 on the left and the (suspected) 1000.3 on the right

Are there any facts in this post? DISH did make a DISH 1000 it was about the size of the dish 500 and used a Twin with a single LNB. If this is designed for 61.5 & 72.7 and allows 1 additional sat input where is the 4th satellite coming from?

I did read Solid Signals post full of lies, why don't you try reading the advertisement without rose colored glasses.

Huh? What advertisement? Not sure what your hostility is about, but I think I’m undeserving.

It looks to me like Solid Signal has labeled a 1000.2 shipped with a DPH EA or WA LNB as a "1000.3-EA" or a "1000.3-WA". I haven't found anything yet indicating that's an official Dish designation, but maybe one of the guys that have better Dish sources than I do will know more about that.
