Yay! I did it and it's working great! I've got about 10 times better reception on 61.5 than I could ever get with 129. Also, in the middle of all this I decided to order a cheap $12 signal meter off of ebay. I must say that it in one of the best tools I have ever purchased.:up:):up I was able...

Excellent! I'm going for 61.5!!! :up:up

That is the only list that I could find. Where can I get an accurate list of the channels on 61.5 and 129? I have an appointment with a dish tech for Friday that I need to cancel if I can verify the channels are the same on 61.5 vs 129.

I thought it was off too because of some comments I read about another install with a different dish. That's why I started moving it around. However it seems that maybe it was aimed correctly to begin with. The center 119 LNB is #1 on the test for this dish because of the way the dual lnb switch...

Can you tell me where to find an accurate list? I was trying to finish over the holiday weekend but since I was unable to I made an appointment with a dish tech to try for 129. If I can verify the channels are the same on 61.5 vs 129 I will cancel the appointment and install the second dish...

Thanks for the tips! Sounds like you've done this before :)

I think I will stick with my current equipment for now. It will cost me too much to buy everything without an upgrade promotion. It looks like I will miss some of my channels if I go to 61.5 The only other idea I have is to maybe mount on top of my roof and try for 129 up there. I'm not sure...

The guy at DISH said that they would not set me up with eastern arc. Maybe sometime in the future. They are only giving it to certain new customers with certain installs or something like that.

I just finished reading about the new eastern arc. Maybe I should just call Dish and see if they will switch me over.

I was just comparing the channel list on 129 to 61.5 Some of the things missing are: Atlanta Locals WGN America Showtime West Planet Green Encore East Smithsonian Channel Mojo MGM HD USA World Fishing Network Travel Channel CNBC US ActionMax East WMax 5 StarMax Tennis Channel Bio US Hallmark...

Looks like 129 is going to be impossible. I thought moving the dish would help but it is just as bad or worse. Putting it on the roof might work but I have another dish that I am not using so I plan to try for 61.5 According to dishpointer it should be a lot easier to clear the trees.

I'm in South GA. Anyone else have problems with 129 in this area? If I use a second dish pointed at 61.5 instead of 129 what will I be missing if anything?

Thanks for the confirmation. I have everything back together again with good signal on 119 an 110. I know that all three LNBs are working since I was able to get signal on all three while I was fooling around with the positioning. Although I never did see sat 129 This receiver has been...

I've got a cold and I kind of got tired of messing with it. I might try a little later. I wish someone would verify that with this setup the center LNB should show up as #1 on the switch test before I go back out there. have a look at the pdf if you are not sure...

looking at the eyes of the lnbs...Single LNB is on the left and it should pick up 129 , Dual LNB is on the right. 119 should be picked up by the middle LNB (left side of the dual) and 110 should be picked up on the right LNB. The thing that confused me was that the middle (119) LNB shows up on...

I found this PDF dishretailer.com/dishstore/dish1000/Facts.pdf With the standard configuration as shown on the first page should the middle lnb show up as #1 ? It does on mine. If this is correct then I guess my initial setup was pretty close except that I couldn't receive 129. I'm going to...

I covered up the two outside LNBs with foil and guess what? Center LNB signal is coming in on #1 !!! I just took the whole thing apart because this is really starting to bug me. The dish I am using is a Dish 1000 I have an AK72-BTE twin LNB and a single LNB According to the plastic shroud the...

Mu elevation was still set at about 38 from the previous install. I reset the elevation to 41 which is what it says it should be on the screen. I read about some common misalignments and thought I would give it a try to turn the azmuth a little until i picked up signal again. I turned a few...

Need help with 129 on standard 1000 setup I've been having trouble getting 129 so I decided to move my dish. Now when I test I get: 1 - 119 - OK 2 - 110 - OK 3 - CONN - X Reception Verified DPP TWIN If I check the signal strength I get: 119 - 70 110 - 77 129 - 70 WRONG SAT 119 W What do you...
