[QUOTE="1inxs, post: 18696, member: 2247"]You will occasionally see two dishes with single and sometimes dual feedhorns on each dish. The earliest installations were a single dish with a single feedhorn. As programming expanded some of the installations would have one dish with up to two feedhorns. As the programming was expanded once more, it became necessary to add more feedhorns. The least expensive way for the dealer to add the feedhorns was to add a new old stock dish with the old dual feedhorn configuration. The dealer would simply add another dish to the side of the original and combine the signals from the feedhorns from both dishes. This allowed the dealer to use up their current inventory of obsolete hardware. Satellite providers have since added more programming and it has become necessary for a single dish to include five feedhorns. If you look at the new installations they include a single dish with five feedhorns.[/QUOTE]
