can't receive satellite 129

[Tim Ta]

I wonder if someone could help me with this issue I've been having. I have a dish VIP 221 K receiver and a dish turbo HD Dish
I'm picking up 110 and 119 just fine but I cannot pick up 129. I think I read somewhere that on some turbo HD skew readings are reversed?. I'm thinking it's mostly a line of sight issue there is a lot of trees. I got the dish from eBay I wonder if that could be an issue? also have a second dish it's a small windguard I was wondering if there's another satellite I can use it with to pick up some extra stations?

Is it showing up as 110/119/Conn on the check switch matrix?

If so, drop your elevation 3 degrees and move it west (to the right when looking from behind the dish) about 9-10 degrees.

Check switch shows
Port 1 119 ok 1k.2. Port 2 110 ok 1k.2 port 3 con x 1k.2 port 4 con x x nc
I'm running another check switch right now. and then I'll try your advice and post back.

That could indeed be a LOS issue or LNB/Dish issue, based on those results.

drop down 3 degrees and right 90 degrees. lost all satellites. since I can receive two satellites I'll assume the skew is correct?

90 degrees? Lol.

At any rate, leaning toward LOS/LNB issue.

Opps 9 degrees...I'll hook up my backup dish at the same location to see if I can find 129
