If you're certain there's no LoS to 129, tell them you need EA. This may be a problem if your locals are on 129.
Which is exactly my situation! Once I can get the 4 networks reliably via OTA I'll consider the swap to EA, which will also include me doing something with the lone 301 receiver in my system, but no big deal there. I get only NBC (and PBS, which Dish does not offer) reliably in HD OTA at present. There could be local repeaters added for the 3 I'm missing at some future date, but at this point the same problem preventing reliable LOS to 129 is also preventing me from receiving CBS and ABC OTA for most of the year. My 129 LOS situation is not hopeless however. I just need to do some more tree trimming...perhaps a LOT more...!
I am in the same boat, so I have a different setup.
I have a EA Dish for 61.5 & 72.7 & then a Dish 500 for 110/119 for my locals. I really don't need the 119, but there is not sense to get rid of it. Maybe this setup might work for you.
