If, by chance, you have the Dish Protection plan (or whatever it's called now) I'd take a baseball bat to it just once when the tech is arriving. The rest will solve itself!

Are you sure the 1000.4 is bigger than the 1000+?
It is the other way around. The 1000+ reflector is bigger, and is used to upgrade a 1000.4 to a 1000.5
I never have heard of the 1000.5 dish. Can you send a link to it?
Troch77 started a thread about it awhile back. When I have time, I will post a link to it.

I already have both dishes, so I could try to assemble a 1000.5 with the parts I already have, but it would mean gutting the 1000+ that I use all of the time just to experiment with the 1000.4 that I rarely use. I figured that if I could get a 1000+ reflector at a reasonable price, and it doesn't work for the 1000.5, then I would still have a spare reflector for the 1000+ in case I ever need it.

I have a 1000+ dish and hardly ever have rain fade. I think it is because it is bigger than the 1000.4 & 1000.2 dish.
