My "locals" are going to 129. I really don't live where my locals are coming from, so I decided to do something with the Superdish. I had been thinking about getting some programming from 121, so I decided to try repointing.
I decided to post this in case anyone else was thinking about converting a SD105 to SD121 and also have 129.
I changed the skew and repointed the dish to 121. No problem, good signal.
I thought about trying to get 129 from the SD because I was trying to avoid having 3 dishes.
I took the shroud off along with the 119 and 110 LNBs.
I took the 110 LNB, the one without the plastic housing, and tried to find the point where the 129 LNB should go.
THE LNB FIT PERFECLY into the slot that really doesn't look like a place for a LNB. I do not have a pic, but if you are familiar with the SD 105, you know that there is a screw that connects the top cover to the bottom; that screw goes through the bottom plastic piece, through the metal bracket for the LNBs, then to the top cover. I put the LNB in that slot with a screw and a nut. I got just as good of a signal as I did pointing a D300 at 129!
So, I was able to get 121 and 129 from one dish and 110/119 with a D500.
I just hope that those LNBs will be OK without any housing. I can't fit the housing over all of them.
