DISH 500
A multi-satellite dish used to receive DISH Network programming. Some programing for DISH Network is only available if you have a DISH 500 dish or a 2nd single satellite dish pointed to the 110 satellite for DISH Network. The DISH 500 dish is used to receive simultaneous satellite signals from the 119 and 110 satellite slots. The use of the number 500 is misleading. While the multi-sat dish can technically receive 500 channels, most of those channels are local networks from other cites. Since you can't subscribe to those channels you do not have access to 500 channels.
