Dish Network/SES Americom was granted to moved AMC 16 to 118.75

[MikeD-C05]

Okay Scott, How will the dish 1000+ differ from the regular dish 1000 and of course the dish 500 vs the dish 500+?

Will the dish 1000+ have a slot for more than 3 satellites. For example 110/119/129 and 118.75?

I would really like to know the difference and what I will need THIS TIME.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The new Dish + Lines will have a special LNB for 119/118.7 (And regular LNB's for 110 and on the Dish 1000+ 129)

 

[Stargazer]

So we will not see a DPP twin then? Very interesting. I know that I seen mentioned somewhere in another thread about the possibility of having a 110/119/129 lnbf combo made (like a twin but I guess we can cause that the tripple) so I wonder if they would make that for 110/118.7/119 instead and keep 129 as a seperate lnbf? This would like having a DPP-44 switch built in. Speaking of that, they would have to have an expensive DPP-44 switch with all of these Dish500/1000+ dishes unless they build it into an lnbf like I just described.

any pictures of this ne plus line of dishes and if not when should we expect them in public view

So does that mean no more dish pro plus twin? If so I have to rerun two more lines into my house in order to get to both of my 622 receivers and no more seperator. This will really complicate my install especially my ota terk antenna .

No pictures yet, I am working on getting them.

Just remember though of where you first heard of the new Dish Plus Dishes.

How big are the Dish500+ and 1000+ going to be? 118.75 is FSS is it not?

Yeah it is FSS, will be interesting to see if Dish can come up with a more glamorous Super Dish, something like the new slimline DIRECTV dish. The old SuperDish would make the tripods in War of the Worlds cower...

 

[Stargazer]

I also think it will be along the lines of what the slimline DirecTv dish will be. I do not think Dish Network wants to ever come out with a SuperDish again unless it would mean that they would receive a LOT of satellite slots for lots of bandwidth.

Now lets see what Dish Network is going to do for a switch. Maybe a new one? DPP-44 would probably be required on a Dish1000+ setup. The Dish500+ would only need a DPP twin like the Dish1000 currently does and maybe the whole thing all in one solid lnb with built in switch instead of running the wire over to it like the Dish1000.

Scott have you got the new pictures for new 500+ or 1000+ yet.

Ok, that answers part of the original question. What is going to happen to 105? Will the new 119/118.7 LNB work for the existing SD's? I already am in possession of 3 dishes (300, 500, SD105). I plan to use the 500 or the 300 for 61.5 on the assumption that the Balt., MD HDLIL's will be put there someday. What kind of new programming is coming to 118.7 that would convince me to take down the SD105 and put the 500 up in its place if the new LNB won't work with the SD105?

 

[OoTLink]

I guess this means a new Super Duper Dish and a DP84?

For the utmost in Dish Zealotry - 61.5, 105, 110, 118.75, 119, 121, 129, and 148!

Also comes in silver to match your trailer

 

[Stargazer]

Perhaps a new built in switch for the Dish1000 Plus since it would require four orbital slots. Maybe a built in DPP-44 switch?

 

[stormchaser2003]

I like to see or get a Dish that can handle the following sats:
61.5, 82.0, 91.0, 105.0, 110.0, 118.75, 119.0, 121.0, 129.0, 148.0

I have all those sats hooked up and able to watch everything on those birds except 118.75 sat til Dish gets things up and running at the location.

Thanks

Sure, a dish that handles 90 degrees, lol.

No problem.

Probably could but the reflector would look like a wrecked Mac Truck fender and the lnb arms would look like a porcupine with the mange.

 

[mike123abc]

Probably could spot a dish at your local cable company that could do it... Just a bunch of LNBs on an arc over a very large dish...

 

[Darkman]

What type of programming they might carry at this 118.5 / 118.75 location?

You are the 1513th person who asking it last week .

 

[Darkman]

Not sure..

But was the answer given 1512 times already or somethin' ..

Maybe i go look to previous pages of this thread
Just in case....
