What is Dish 500?

It's a 20" dish with 2 focal points and 2 LNBs.	Or, it's the 20" dish with the new Twin LNB	It can also be TWO separate 18" dishes.

All three solutions allow you to see two locations (110 and 119) for a wider range of channel choices and future growth.

So, Dish 500 is the name of the 20" Dish that can see both 110W and 119W, but Dish 500 is also a condition that can be satisfied by having two 18" dishes with one aimed at 119W and one aimed at 110W.
