Does anyone know if the Superdish has a built in multi switch like the Quad? or will it need external switches? Also, with the 2700 and 4000 w/ Superdish will they still get 110 and 199 and just the new 105 and 121 be incompatible?

Also, the Tech forum stated that the Superdish would be free with a 1year commit to at least AT50. Then they state the price for the 811 is $399 stand alone, and $599 for the combo w Superdish is that right?

The Super dish will have 3 Dish Pro single LNBFs and an external DP-34 switch.

The 2700 will be compatible with Super Dish the 4000 will not see 105 or 121 some type of upgrade promotion will be offered.

The Tech Forum did say free with a programming commitment, be patient they seem to be still working out what they are going to do. Watch the Nov. CChat.

So it is a stand alone switch?

BTW bobabird posted this regarding the offers, are these accurate?

SuperDISH
3 satellite positions on one dish
2 versions, 105/110/119 or 110/119/121
105 will get HD and new locals
121 will get international
105 and 121 are both FSS, not DBS, slots. Due to them being closer to neighboring satellites and having lower power output, a larger dish is required to receive them.
Free with 1 year of AT50, Dish Latino or greater, and SuperDISH programming (locals at 105, international, HD Pak)
$199 standalone with install, no commitment. $24.95 shipping waived with CCAP
Incompatible models: 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, JVC D-VHS, original DISHPlayer (7100/7200). Will have to find a way to upgrade these models, watch future Charlie Chats. They can coexist in a SuperDISH system but won't get the 105 or 121 programming.


and this

811
Replaces 6000U
ATSC tuner built in
Local channels on guide
DVI output
