If your picking up 110 and 119 you should have no problem picking up the 121. It's only 2 Deg west off 119 , I just tried it with my motor and every thing is OK as of right now. There is not a lot on that bird and you do realize a liner LNB is needed to pick it up.

I don't know whaqt you consider "a lot," but all the International channels are on that bird plus many duplicates of channels on 110 and 119 and many local TV Channels you wouldn't get with non-FTA boxes.
These channels are duplicated on 148. Usually, I'm told, those on the West Coast use 121 and those on the East Coast use 148.
A Universal LNB also works.

What I mean by not a lot channels is, not as many channels as on some of the other D**H birds . MY view of 129 and 148 is blocked by the house next door. The internationals I can pick up are on T5 and 61.5. and some on 121
