Good point Michael. Also, the focal distance would be inaccurate because the 20" Dish500 has a shorter LNB arm than an 18" dish has; this is to compensate for the length of the Y-adapter when calculating focal distance. A Y-adapter might work with an 18" dish but the signal would not be the greatest.
