they're on 10 on 129 (different satellites use different transponders)

Am I looking at and thinking about this right? If I can just somehow convince a DISH tech to point my dish at Sat 129, I should be all set?

Come on Dish, break the law and give this guy the locals he wants. Oh, wait, they did that once, can you say punishment?
Now, I'm getting no signal anywhere on Sat 129, including transponder 10. Makes no sense.
What is this link saying?

I don't even need to get locals from Pittsburgh, per se. Just any city in the Steelers market as far as the NFL is concerned, which extends well into Central PA. Doesn't this map show that I should be good?

I already said it once.....
you have to have a western arc dish (that sees 110,119,129)
You have an Eastern Arc dish that sees 61.5,72,77. You would need to swap the LNB out and reaim the dish as the LNB isnt the same on both arcs (the spacing is different)

I'm guessing the problem is you are not understanding what is going on. Your situation has nothing to do with Dish looking or not looking the other way. Nothing has changed as far as that goes. Dish can get more channels on a satellite if they use spotbeams. That is what they have done to most all the locals they have, put them on spotbeams. Just took a little longer for some partly because Dish just put a new satellite into service to replace the one that was there.......
I have two dishes on my house. One from way back when I originally got Dish that isn't connected anymore and the one now. I'm pretty sure that is Western facing, but how would I know?
WA will face SW...make sure it has the 3 eyeballs on it (Dish 1000.2) and not a Dish 500 that only sees 110 & 119
If it's a D500 (two lnb's) he could use one of them for 129 and run a cable to the input port on his EA dish.
I do a similar thing, I have a D1000 with a DPP44 switch and I have a D500 with one lnb pointed at 61.5 that is added into the mix at my DPP44.

He may also want to "blame" the NFL ST people as well. They might also be opposed to his move.
