Hoping someone can help me.

I switched from Dish 1000 to a Dish 1000.2 on my Echostar 942 DVR and now not getting 129.
All of my angles are correct

On the 1000, I was getting 110,119 and 129.

Thanks in advance.
 
Following up on my Post.

As an experiment ,I put foil over 110 and 129 LNB and left 119 uncovered.
In the setup menu the 119 signal went to zero.
I then uncovered the 129 LNB and 119 came back.
Seems like the internals of the LNB are out of whack.
Any suggestions to remedy ?
Thanks
 
Seems your getting the 119 on the 129 lnb then. Sounds like you need to turn the dish one bird more to the west. The 1000.2 is a bigger dish so it wont sit exactly like the 1000.
 
WiCkeDuDe is correct. you are aimed about 8-9 degrees too far east.

Move the azimuth to the right 8-9 degrees and drop the elevation a couple of degrees and all three will be there for you.
 
Yes, your dish is pointed wrong. You're using the 129 LNB to pick up 119, the 119 LNB to pick up 110, the 110 LNB to pick up nothing, and nothing to pick up 129.
 
Thanks all, I will try moving the dish more to the West about 8 to 9 degrees.
