Which is better, Dish Type 18 or Dish Type 19?

[edisonprime]

Just a few days ago I upgraded my satellite dish from Dish Type 17 to Dish Type 18. But I see a Dish Type 19 on my "Repeat Satellite Setup" options. What am I missing that's on Dish 19? Which is better, 18 or 19? I know I upgraded to an 18 to get SonicTap channel 815 for some Christmas music as well as some other SonicTap channels as a bonus, and still yet to explore what else is on it.

Dish type 19 is for an SWM dish fitted with the new SWM13 LNB, supporting 13 tuners instead of 8. It does not receive any additional channels, in fact since it is only a 3-lnb you don't get the 119 satellite which is the one with the additional Sonic Tap channels that dish type 18 (SL5) receives.
