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.

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).

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.

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.
