Is it common to have three seperate dishs installed for service? I have 110/119 on one dish and the other two are for 72.7 and 61.5

2 yes...fair amount of folks have 2 dishes on the roof. Can be the old mixed arc setup (110/119/61.5) or someone may have Dish and DIrectv dishes up there
3 not so much. I do though (2 KU dishes and Directv)

You just need 110/119/129 or a pure WA setup. As you're locals are on 119.

I can't get 129 due to trees in the park across the street of my house

You would loose all of your HD if you disconnected 61.5.

Eventually, when all HD is migrated to 72.7, you can drop 61.5 since your locals are not HD yet. And your already getting the SD stuff on 110 and 119
