Dish Reflector Size

It makes it mush easier to fine tune it as it is a front heavy dish just like the 1000.4

Most definitely does! I always thought Dish should have stuck with .4's and not used .2's at all

Always liked the 1000.4 dish worked great on both arcs.

Well, DISH contractor just left. I now have a black DISH dish. He said that the newer DISH 1000+ and 500+ dishes have the elevation rod adjustment in the Skew Plate. Have you seen that too HipKat for your International installs? Black dish sure is pretty. Thanks to everyone for all the DISH dishes info in this thread. Learned a bunch.

Enjoy it while you can. Soon it will be covered in bird sh*t like mine is. They love to sit on the edge and do their business. They must be Directv loving birds.

Well, birds never pooped on the old gray reflector. Maybe they prefer black, time will tell. They sure liked my mailbox until I installed plastic spikes. Took care of the issue but mailbox looks scary now!

Well... in the winter, that black reflector makes a good foot warmer!

When I had both my black and grey dishes set up next to each other a few years ago, both on the eastern arc, the black dish melted ice and snow a little quicker than the grey dish.

Black absorbs more sunlight, radiates more heat

Given the many grey skies we have around here, I prefer the grey dishes to that black one on the roof silhouetted against the sky. It just stands out too much. I must admit the black would look good at night.
