Dishes

Dish 300 Single

Legacy Dual Ouput LNBF and 18 inch round dish. Use to receive from 61.5 or 148 degree echostar. Can also add to a Dish 500 setup using Twin LNB and a DP34 multiswitch to distribute 101, 119, and 61.5 satellite. Some have Winegard printed on the dish face. Optimized for Dishnetwork, ExpressVU. One LNB allows two receivers to be connected. This original Dish Network dish design, used to receive programming from a single high powered DBS-band satellite, is now mostly in use by customers requiring the use of a second dish in order to receive local programming.

18" : 110°

Dish 500 Single

20" : 110°

Dish 500 Dual Dish Pro LNBs

Dish 500 with two Dish pro single LNB's to receive signals from Echostar 7 (110) and from Echostar 6,8 (119).

18"x23" : 110°, 119°

Dish Pro 500

Made for Dish Network by Winegard with DishPro Plus Twin LNBF used to pickup the Echostar 110 and 119. LNB features a built-in DP21 videopath multiswitch compatible with all newer "DishPro" receivers. Older units equipped with they legacy twin LNB, newer equipped with DishPro Plus twin LNB.

18"x23" : 110°, 119°

Dish Pro 500 Plus

Dish 500+ adds a third LNB. Receive from satellites 110°, 119° DBS-band and the 118.75 FSS Ku-band satellite. This dish replaces previous 500 models which could not do the 118.75 satellite.

20"x24" : 110°, 119°, 118.7°

Super Dish 105

Can receive from 3 satellites, replaces earlier Dish 500 which could only receive from 2. The 105 SuperDISH is pointed to receive signals from Dish Network satellites at 105, 110, and 119 degrees West. SuperDish was the first design by Dish Network to receive satellite programing from the core 110/119° DBS-band satellites and also programming from either the 105° or 121° FSS Ku-band satellites. Local programming for selected markets were originally broadcast using the FSS Ku-band satellites. Recently, Echostar has migrated many local markets to the new 118.75° satellite to allow most U.S. customers to receive it as well as nationwide high definition programming from a single dish. Currently, there remain a few selected local channel markets that require the use of a SuperDish to receive local channels. These markets will require a second dish if they wish to receive high definition programming.

36"x20" : 105°, 110°, 119°

Super Dish 121

Can receive from 3 satellites, replaces earlier Dish 500 which could only receive from 2. The 121 SuperDISH is pointed to receive signals from Dish Network satellites at 110, 119, and 121 degrees West. Appearance nearly the same as 105. Just like the 105 the 121 is a legacy dish.

36"x20" : 110°, 119°, 121°

Dish 1000

DISH 1000 legacy provided reception from the 110, 119 and 129. Replaced by Dish 1000.2.

20.5"x22.5" : 110°, 119°, 129°

Dish 1000.2

The Dish 1000.2 antenna gives you the advantage of receiving more programming (such as HD) using a single dish solution. Reception from 110, 119 and 129 and allowing 3 receivers. Can also add a second dish. International programming from 119 available. 3 outputs DISH Pro separators can be used to create up to six outputs from the dish. Compatible with DISH Pro single-orbital LNBFs or DISH Network bandstacked LNBFs, and DISH Pro Plus 44 switch.

23.8"x30.9" : 110°, 119°, 129°

Dish 1000 Plus

The DISH 1000+ supports reception from 4 satellites. Includes a DP Dual Band LNBF and two DP Dual LNBF. The DP dual band LNBF receives 118.7 and 119 while the 2 DP Single LNBFs receive 110 and 129. Install using a DPP 44 switch. Works with any Dish Pro or Pro Plus receiver from Dish Network. Primarily used to receive nationwide high definition programming, delivered form the 129° satellite. The elliptical Dish1000+ design replaces the Dish1000 design, which did not receive the 118.75 FSS Ku-band satellite.

23.8"x30.9" : 110°, 118.7°, 119°, 129°
