Size of 1000.3 dish?

[HipKat]

Never heard of it

Notice the slight differences between the LNB’s on the 1000.2 on the left and the (suspected) 1000.3 on the right

The original 1000.2 looks like it has a DPP LNB installed versus the DPH LNB on the "1000.3". They look pretty similar, but obviously function differently.

Me either.

I really don’t care what the dish is called, I just wanted to find out the spec on its size. It’s obviously different from the 1000.2 sitting next to it on my roof, so I went looking online and found that listing on Solid Signal. The picture looked similar to my dish so I assumed that’s what it was.

If Solid Signal is selling illicit dishes I wouldn’t know.

Sheesh

Can you get up there with a tape measure? I don't think the dishes SS is selling are "illicit", but they might be making up their own designation for the DPH combo. It would be interesting to know the dish dimensions on your new one. A 1000.2 reflector is about 26"w X 20-3/4" h.

Yes I can. Probably tomorrow. It’s pouring rain right now

But we need to know right now!

Ok, it's pouring rain here in upstate NY too. We can wait...

It definitely looks like a new antenna. In the 1st picture posted by the op, you can see the bolts used to mount the boom arm to the az/el assembly (like a 1K4)...in the picture on the roof, there's no fine adjustment bolt on the az/el assembly (unlike a 1K4). I guess it's a hybrid antenna to go along with the hybrid lnbfs and hybrid hubs, lol.

Sent from my SM-G920V using the SatelliteGuys app!

I'm guessing it's a generic image designed by someone to use to represent a dish and not a real dish at all

The size looks like a 1000.2...

What kind of dish is the one on the right?

 

[JSheridan]

That new one looks just like the 1000.2 dishes we've been installing for quite a while.

It is. I looked into it,. there is no 1000.3 Dish. The dishes in the pics look different because 2 different reflectors, and 2 different LNB;s - DPP and Hybrid

So was the installer wrong? Would the older dish have worked for my H3?

It looks the the older dish is a 1000 Turbo, which was used on .4's, with a .2 backing structure. I'm not sure if the bolts line up, but I think they do and the .4 is slightly larger, I believe

He probably thought it wouldn't work because it didn't have a hybrid LNB.

It would have worked as is with a DPH42 switch instead of the DPH LNB. Getting the complete new dish setup though, was probably a better move for you.
