I'm a full time RV'er and when I set up at a campground I use a Birdog USB-Plus meter to set up a 1000.2 dish on a small tripod. I'm always able to get a strong signal for 110 and 119, but although 129 locks onto the dish and the receiver (722), it doesn't show on the meter. I see 100% for 110, 100% for 119, but nothing for 129. So I'm getting the signal for 129 but the meter doesn't show it. I even tried pushing C on the DiSEq (sp?) screen. It's not a big deal because if I pull in 110 and 119, 129 is always there, but it would be nice to be able to isolate 129 on the meter if I ever have to. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
 
As already posted, see if BD has updated the 129 file. If that doesn't work, I have my BD set to a specific spotbeam transponder on 129 since I'm in Alaska, and we can only see a few spotbeams on 129. You can download specific transponders from BD.
