Okay, so i got a dish 500+ with the new Dish pro plus LNB with the built-in switch..i wanna run 4 birds on one dish which means i would have to buy a bracket for the 129...and this will mean that i basically would have a 1000+, now my question is....can i have 4 satelites on one cable going to my reciever(only have one)...i wont need a external switch for 4 birds will i? i know a switch isnt needed for 3 birds but what about 4? please help me out.

If you buy the bracket YOU WILL HAVE A 1000+ and yes it is designed for 4 satellites. 110/118.7/119 and 129.

So basically the 500+ and 1000+ are the same dish except the 1000+ has the added 129?

Correct. The bracket for 129 should be included in the box with the 500+ LNB. You will need to acquire a DP Single or DP Dual LNB to mount on the bracket though. You will just use a short (6-8" piece of cable to connect the Single LNB into to the Input (Port #4) on the 500+ LNB. Then just run a single line from one of the LNB outputs (#1-3) to your receiver. 4 birds on one cable.
