Used Satellite Dish

[Sheltiemom]

I purchased a Dish Network Superdish and want to know if it will work with an HD TV. We bought it on Craigs List and want to use it up north at our cottage.

 

[Mr Tony]

no
The Superdish sees either 105/110/119 or 110/119/121. 105 & 121 are not used anymore. There is a SD upgrade kit I think that gives you 110/119/129

Can you post a pic of it?
If it says "Superdish" on it then it wont get HD

 

[Sheltiemom]

Where would I find an upgradt kit? Cost? Should i just stay away?

 

[Mr Tony]

probably be easier (and cheaper) to find a Dish 1000.2 on Ebay

Here you go.

I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for your help.

 

[Mr Tony]

yeah that will see 105/110/119 I think. The picture is a little small but on the LNB if it says "HDTV" then its the 105 SD

Dish thought about putting HD on 105 years ago but scrapped that idea

Where is the DP34 switch?

Also do you know the status of the receivers? Are they leased? Do they owe a ballance, Etc?

Claude all he got was a dish...dont know why you're asking those questions

 

[Sheltiemom]

What is a DP 34 switch? You're talking to someone whe knows very little about this stuff. They own the receivers I believe.

 

[Sheltiemom]

Actually I'm getting the dish and two receivers for $40

What are the receivers? If they are not VIP receivers then they are only good for SD.

Get a Superdish kit for $99. from Dishstore.

The Dish Store - Powered by Metro25

But you'll need another lnb for 129, with all the costs involved it would be cheaper and easier to get a modern dish such as 1000.2 or 1000.4

I would suggest you call Claude @ Dishstore.net about your purchase and see if you can get those receivers activated etc ...

Here you go.

That picture is a 121 superdish. Gets 110, 119, 121 if you're lucky. If you aren't lucky, the LNBs are old and out of tolerance and it gets nothing.

looks like an old 301 or 311, and a 111 receiver with it.

Did you check under the plastic cover for wasp's?? That is a common problem here and I'm sure other places, come across one of these antiques in the field, first thing you do is spray it with wasp killer. I have seen some nest's that are as big as the inside of the cover!! I'm so glad we don't see too many anymore.
