I'll be upgrading from a 942 to a 622 after April 1st. I currently have a D500 for 110 and 119, and another D500 with a dual LNB pointed at 61.5. Since I'm in Northern California, I intend to stick with a 2 dish solution but move the 61.5 dish over to 129 since the look angle to 61.5 is so low out here and the dish is way up on a mast to clear trees.
I'm relatively confidant that the D500 solution for 129 will be better than a D1000 and will more than likely be adequate - we'll see when the time comes. However, in looking for an alternative to a D500 just in case, I ran across a 76cm (30") dish from Winegard that also comes with an arm that accepts the Dish "D" shaped LNBs so no horsing around with adapters, etc. See the attached post if you are interested and are still having trouble with signal levels on 129 wherever you are in the country.
