Hello and WELCOME to the SatelliteGuys.US FTA forum :welcome
(Moved here from General area)

The Dish 500 Antenna will not work for AMC-4 you will need a KU linear LNBF and a much bigger dish. 30" minimum and around 1m to be on the safe side. The bigger the dish the better!

The dish you have will work for a a few In the Clear channels and some radio but thats it!
