DirecTV has an international bird that requires a second dish for international channels.
I have seen dual 4 output dishes side by side. Often on a big house, it's a better signal than going through a 8 port switch out of the dish. Giving better reception for more than 4 TVs.
Dish network has gone through many (I don't know them all ) periods of time in various locatoins their birds were so far apart in the sky to fill a package it took two dishes.
Then I have seen a lot of both companies on a roof, with one not hooked up. ie too lazy to take it down.
A friend of mine upgraded a few years back now to what Dish called the Super Dish. The installer put it up, the owner asked what about the old one? The installer said you can just take it down.
However if you do have one unused, It can be pointed straight up and it makes a great bird bath.
Less advertising throughout
