When they installed my Hopper 3, they put up what I believe is a 1000.3 EA dish. What are the dimensions of that dish?
Size of 1000.3 dish?

There is a 1000.3; it is for H3 and Wally installs: DISH Network Hybrid Pro Eastern Arc LNB Dish Antenna (DISH1000.3-EA) from Solid Signal
From the not so descriptive image it looks like a 1000.4 with a hybrid LNB. Say what?
Yeah, that's what the installer put up when he came out. There was a 1000.2 up there already and he said it "wouldn't work" for my H3
From the text description:
"The DISH 1000.3 provides reception from the 72.7 and 61.5 DBS orbital locations, using a dish antenna size similar to a DISH 1000. This allows for the connection of up to three receivers and a second dish for a fourth orbital location. The Dish Network DPH Eastern Arc Twin LNB is only designed for Eastern Arc installations. For Hopper 3 or Wally installs only. "
3 receivers?
And a second dish?
Hopper 3 or Wally only?

Yeah, so now there are 2 EA dishes up there. The 1000.2 and this newer one.
Thanks. The dish on the far right is a 75cm KU dish for 121 and 125. I have a 90cm on the ground as well.
I don't see an elevation rod on the back so maybe not a converted 1000.4.
BTW, thanks for posting. This is the first I'm hearing of this.

And one installed by a tech that cares how it looks and one by a tech that doesn't.....
Notice the slight differences between the LNB’s on the 1000.2 on the left and the (suspected) 1000.3 on the right
Are there any facts in this post? DISH did make a DISH 1000 it was about the size of the dish 500 and used a Twin with a single LNB. If this is designed for 61.5 & 72.7 and allows 1 additional sat input where is the 4th satellite coming from?
I did read Solid Signals post full of lies, why don't you try reading the advertisement without rose colored glasses.
Huh? What advertisement? Not sure what your hostility is about, but I think I’m undeserving.
It looks to me like Solid Signal has labeled a 1000.2 shipped with a DPH EA or WA LNB as a "1000.3-EA" or a "1000.3-WA". I haven't found anything yet indicating that's an official Dish designation, but maybe one of the guys that have better Dish sources than I do will know more about that.
