EchoStar DISH PRO DUAL LNB Satellite Antenna - Second Dish Signal

Our review of the EchoStar DISH PRO DUAL LNB finds it best for users who already run a multi-antenna Dish Network setup and need a quick way to capture a third satellite feed on a second dish. Installation takes just minutes and the unit is expressly designed to be used alongside a primary DISH 500 Antenna with a DishPRO PLUS LNBF, so the biggest reason to buy is its straightforward compatibility for adding a third orbital signal without reworking existing cabling or receivers.

Key Features

• Fast installation: The LNB is built to mount and align quickly so a second dish can be brought online in minutes without complex tools.
• Designed for a second dish: It is specifically intended to be used with a SECOND DISH, pairing with a DISH 500 Antenna and DishPRO PLUS LNBF to extend system coverage.
• Third satellite capture: Use this item on a second dish to capture signals from a THIRD Dish Network satellite such as the 110, 129, 61.5 or 148 orbital positions and feed them into the plus port on the DishPRO Plus LNBF.
• Dual outputs: The Pro Dual LNBF has two output ports to directly connect one or two receivers, giving flexible distribution without extra converters.
• Switch compatibility: It can connect to DISH Pro DP44, DP34, or DPP33 switches when a more complex multi-receiver configuration is required.

Who It's For

The EchoStar DISH PRO DUAL LNB is ideal for hobbyists, installers, and homeowners who already operate a primary DishPRO Plus LNBF with a DISH 500 Antenna and need to add reception from an additional orbital location. It suits setups where adding a second physical dish is preferable to re-pointing an existing antenna.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who have a single-dish requirement only or who need integrated multi-satellite capability from a single reflector; this unit looks at one orbital location and is intended as a complementary piece for multi-dish installations rather than an all-in-one solution.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Quick, simple installation makes expanding a Dish Network system practical in minutes.
• Two outputs allow direct connection to one or two receivers without additional splitters.
• Built to integrate with DishPRO PLUS LNBF and Dish 500 Antenna for capturing a third satellite feed.
• Compatible with DISH Pro DP44, DP34, and DPP33 switches for more complex setups.

Cons

• It looks at one orbital location only, so it cannot replace a multi-lobe LNBF for single-dish multi-satellite reception.
• Designed specifically to pair with DishPRO systems, so it is less useful outside that ecosystem.

Our Verdict

The EchoStar DISH PRO DUAL LNB is a practical, no-frills way to add a third-satellite feed using a second dish, especially when paired with a DISH 500 Antenna and DishPRO PLUS LNBF. Installers and advanced users will appreciate the quick setup and dual outputs, making it good value for anyone expanding a DishPRO system rather than replacing it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this LNB provide signals to more than two receivers?
It has two direct output ports; use a supported DISH Pro switch such as DP44 or DPP33 to serve additional receivers.

Which satellites can it capture?
It is intended to capture signals from third Dish Network satellites like the 110, 129, 61.5 or 148 orbital locations.

Will it work as a standalone replacement LNB?
No, it is designed to be used on a second dish alongside a DishPRO PLUS LNBF and DISH 500 Antenna for multi-dish setups.
