1000.2 with a single lnb for sat 129

Why don't you use a 20" single lnb dish and point it at 129 and peak it out. I'm not sure, but I'd be surprised if trees a couple of hundred yards away would be interfering with your signal. The signal comes from an angle much higher up than the face of the dish is pointing.

You could have a site survey done or I believe there is a tool somewhere on the net to help you determine if you will have a clear sight. You input the elevation of your dish and angle (degrees), the distance to the obstacle and it's height and you will be able to determine if you can see the satellite.

Why are you trying to point at 129 for locals? If you're using a 311 RCVR you need only 110 and 119. Your locals should be broadcasting off of 110. 129 will have your HD locals but if you don't have an MPEG-4 RCVR to pick it up, why bother?

Thanks everyone for all the input. After spending a week at my cabin next week and fiddlin with things, I will repost if I have anything worth posting
To BHelms, Yes I do have an "I" yoke on my dish 500 and I do think it works better than a Y for receiving just the one satellite..
