YES, THEY ARE STILL MAKING THEM. WE ARE NO LONGER USING THEM IN THE SPRINGFIELD, MO. DMA'S THOUGH. WE INSATALLED THEM FOR ABOUT A WEEK OR SO. THEY CALLED ALL OF OURS BACK, AND OUR LOCALS ARE NOW ON THE 110. THE SUPERDISH WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER MADE. FIRST OF ALL, IT TAKES 45 MIN. TO PUT THE DANG THING TOGETHER. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A 40 DEGREE WINDOW ( OR MORE) CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT, (WHICH IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE IN MISSOURI, AND NORTHERN ARK) THE DISH WEIGHS OVER 100 POUNDS, (NO ROOF MOUNTS) ACTUALLY THEY "ALL" NEED TO BE PUT ON POLES. IT TAKES A 2 IN. POLE IN DIAMETER (OUTSIDE TO OUTSIDE) YOU HAVE TO TRACK IN THE 119 AND 10 (JUST LIKE THE DISH 500) THEN GO IN AND DOWNLOAD THE RECEIVER TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE FOR THE SUPERDISH, THEN GO BACK AND TRAC IN THE 105 (OR 129, WHAT EVER THE CASE MAY BE, HERE IT WAS THE 105) THEY ALL HAVE TO RUN(deal) THRU A 34 SWITCH, WHICH MEANS THERE HAS TO BE 3 CABLES RUNNING FROM THE DISH TO THE SWITCH, REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY RECVRS THERE ARE. AFTER YOU GET ALL OF THIS DONE THEN YOU HAVE TO GO BACK AND PUT THE SHROUD AROUND TTHE LNB'S. TAKES BETTER THAN 3 HOURS TO DO A SINGLE STRAIGHT FORWARD INSTALL. AND THAT IS IF "EVERYTHING" GOES ABSOLUTELY SMOOTH. NO HICCUPS AT ALL. IT BETTER PAY GOOD TO BE WORTH YOUR WHILE. ITS A PAIN IN THE BUTT, AND YOU HAVE MORE MONEY IN MATERIALS. I WAS MAKING $150 A SINGLE AND I WOULD HAVE TO RETHINK IT BEFORE DOING IT AGAIN.
