Which sat., 61.5 or 129, depends to some extent on your location (some areas can't "see" 129 and it's spotty in others) and also which one carries your HD locals, if any are available yet on E*. Where are you located? Keep in mind that some HD nationals are on E*8 at 110.
Check here for a list of what channels are on which satellite (kudos TNGTony and others):

Also - How are you going to connect that 3rd LNB? The DP Plus won't do it alone, you'll need a switch with down leads going to it from all 3 LNBs. Alternately you can use a DPP Twin on the 110/119 dish. It has a port on it for a 3rd LNB and the switch built in.
Welcome, BTW...

OK - I had fumbling fingers as I tried to enter info on two replies. Sorry for repeated posts earlier.
The 34 switch should do it. You'll definitely need to hit 61.5 as CFL is an area outside the footprint for 129. Use the dishpointer link JimK2 provided above to confirm your settings. You might want to try a different input port on the switch for the 61.5 downlead to see if the problem is in the LNB or wiring. Others may have other ideas.
