If it is a huge 36" wide dish with one large LNB "eye" alongside a smaller eye and a separate LNB off to one side, the answer is maybe, but why would you want to haul something that big around? The Superdish was for early HD channels and local channel expansion. The larger eye was to catch a beam from a 118 satellite along with the 119 sat, but I don't think Dish uses that mode any more. The later model is the 1000.3 or so, and catches the 110, 119 and 129 sats (western US). That dish is not as large as the Superdish. I tried to mod a Superdish to receive these three birds using three separate LNBs but I could not achieve good focus on all 3 and had less signal strength than my good old Dish 500 dual LNB. I trashed Superdish and use the Dish 500 for 110 and 119 and a separate single dish for 129 coming through a combining switch. If you want high def, you have to aim on 129.
