SuperDISH picks up the 119°, 110° DBS satellites and either the 105° or 121° FSS satellites.
There are 4 variations of SuperDISH. Type I has a metal dish, Type II is plastic. Either can be for 105° or 121°.

The LNB shroud on the 105° version is labeled "HDTV" but SuperDISH has never been used for HDTV channels (see HD Dish).
The following receivers will not recognize the 105° or 121° FSS satellites: 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, DISHPlayer, JVC-DVHS.

Both SuperDISH flavors can be modified to pick up any combination of satellites from 105°-129° however none of these modifications is supported by Dish Network's Technical support team. This means if you modify the dish or use it in a way other than its designed purpose, you are on your own.
