=== Dish 500 Dual Single LNBs ====== Dish 500 Dual LNBs ===The first Dish 500 Dishes used two-single LNBs for a one receiver system.  This Dish 500 with two Dish pro single LNB's will receive signals from Echostar 7 (110) and from Echostar 6,8 (119).  A Dish 500 Dual installation may use DP (Dish Pro) LNB types or two Legacy LNB types.  Either allows a receiver to get signal from both the 119 LNB and the 110 LNB. Dish network developed the SW-21 Switch for combing the signal from the two separate LNBs.  Note that even with the dual DP LNBs the SW-21 switch is still required. The SW-21 Switch is a digitally controlled A/B switch.The first Dish 500 Dishes used two-single LNBs for a one receiver system.  This Dish 500 with two Dish pro single LNB's will receive signals from Echostar 7 (110) and from Echostar 6,8 (119).  A Dish 500 Dual installation may use DP (Dish Pro) LNB types or two Legacy LNB types.  Either allows a receiver to get signal from both the 119 LNB and the 110 LNB.

The dual came with either two single LNBs which was rare, or two dual LNB's, which were LNBs each having two connectors, totaling four connectors.
