Is there an Eastern Arc Superdish Repoint Kit?

[gireesh]

I am in one of those areas that can be serviced either by the Eastern Arc or the Western Arc. I have couple of questions:

I remember when Dish 1000s came out, a Superdish repoint kit also came out after sometime.

Similary, is there a Superdish Repoint Kit for the Eastern Arc?

Are there quality differences between the Eastern Arc and the Western Arc, I have read that most programming on the Eastern Arc is MPEG-4.

Don't know about the repoint kit but I doubt it. The EA is all mpeg4, both SD and HD, and you must have all mpeg4 capable receivers. No differences otherwise.

There's a kit to convert a d500 pan for use in ea. I hear and read that wa signal strength is quite a bit better. The picture quality on mpeg4 sd channels may look better to you.

The only dish that can convert to EA is a 1000+/500+
The converted "plus" dish is called a 1000.5

Do you know what part is used for converting 1000+/500+ to EA?

The 1000.4 arm and lnbf assembly attaches directly to the "plus" dish. The "plus" is a little bit larger, giving you a little better signal strength.

There is a SD to 500+/1000+ made by DNS. I wonder if it would be possible implement *THAT* in conjunction with the "1000.5" modification
