boba, the 500+ dish also has the adaptability to add the 129 (another dual LNB). I was only asking what might be the best route to go just in case of an upgrade. I just put a wingard antenna up today and the locals are very weak from Columbia w/o the amplifier. If the locals come on the 118.7, this might be the best way to go. This way, if the locals come on 118.7, I would have the best of all worlds (119, 118,7, 110, & 129). With the 500+, all I would have to do is add a 44 switch (which I already have) and wouldn't have to change anything. rdallas, the dish 100+ has a different LNb that kinda looks like a dtv lnb (3 lnb's in one). Thanks everyone for the responses.
