I'm here in the Mississippi Delta. I have a D1000 and I had to peak 129 to get 75%, this dropped 119 and 110 alittle. I 've seen better with a 2 dish setup tho, 129 on a Dish 300 and dish 500 with 110/119.
you will not be shocked by the dish. you do have a low signal on 110 sat. you can adjust this yourself if you feel comfortable, but a service tech is your best bet.

The dish Network business rules say that Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and US Virgin Islands can not support the 118 sat location. currently the 118.7 signal is not available oustside the Continental US.
