Dish 1000

The Dish Network User's Resource

Dish1000, introduced at Team Summit 2005, is designed to pick up the 110°, 119° and 129° orbital slots. It measures 23"w x 19"h. The most common LNB configuration is expected to be the DPP Twin and a DP Dual (or Single). If you already have Dish 500 you can add a separate dish to receive 129°. Ten SuperDISH markets will move to Dish1000 on Sept 27, 2005.
