Dish 1000 signal

What should I use as a baseline or what kind of signal levels should I be looking for on the 3 satellites for my area? I see some 50-60's on the 129. TP06 is currently 30.

Here in South Central Nebraska I average 80 on the 129. I tune the 119 first then tune the 129 for the highest signal I can get. just like the superdish.

After I posted this last night I went to bed and checked it on the 322. The 129 readings were higher than what I got on the 622. TP06 was in the 60's. What gives?

That's common. Different recievers will give you different numbers for signal strength. Various transponders will not even be used at all, so don't assume that a low transponder means that the dish isn't peaked well. If you get a warm fuzzy feeling from see high signal strengths, plug in a 311 and check 119 transponder 11 or 12. Should be over 110.
