I just got a 1000.4 dish from ebay I can use this summer for camping and noticed it has a small dent in the middle do you guys think it's going to affect my signal?
my whole purpose on getting a 1000.4 was to get a better signal then a 1000.2
Nah, that shouldn't be a problem.
It's when the dish is warped and doesn't "catch" signal from the respective satellites correctly that you run into issues.
