You are going to need a seperate dish to hit that sat. You can catch it with a Dish300 or an old DTV dish. If you are standing behind the (properly pointed at 119/110) Dish500, 129 is slightly to the right and slightly elevated up (no skew required).

ok thank you

ok im back and the results are good so far im getting a good signal about 80% with the 2800 and about 95% with the v.s my ? is there a way to program a 102 card to get those channels on 129 . remember im down south in the sunshine state

so, if i understand correctly, using a Dish500 with dual eye, once you have 119/110 locked, you just increase elevation, then point slightly further west and you will get 129??

Using a dish500 with dual lnb to get 129, have different dish500 thats pointed at 119/110

Once i get 129, all birds will be fed into a dpp44 switch; all dpp lnbs are being used.

thanks!!

LOL, Kind of confusing, but I have a Dish500 Twin Legacy pointed at 110/119 and a Dish300 dual Legacy pointed at 129 all hooked into a SW34 and I "see" all three sats...I just don't get much off of 129 myself- just some locals (I ain't Hi-Def yet).

I finally zero'd in the 2nd dish500 into 129!!!
Don't have HD here either...the only point of putting it up was to get more NFL games. Should probably get almost all of them now!!! Its not NFL-sunday ticket, but damn close!!
