I am currently a Dish Network 200 subscriber. I have a Dish 500 with a dual LNB. I have two receiver boxes. I want to add an International channel but am not sure if I need a bigger dish or a different LNB. I know that the international programing comes from a different satellite. I have an addt'l Dish 500 dish with a dual LNB. Can I use it to receive the internatiol channel that I want to subscribe?

I have Dish, don't subscribe to any international channels, have a Dish 500, dual lnb, wish I coold help but Dish staff can help, call them at 800 333 dish.

Why don't to call dish and ask them?:)

You will actually need a twin for the 110 and 119 sat for the one dish 500 and a dual for the international if it comes off 148 or the 61.5. if it comes off 118 then you would need an fss lnb not a dbs which is used for 148 and 61.5 along with 119 and 110. Also you are going to need a switch to combine the 110, 119 and the 148 or 61.5
