Well not an emergency, but can you use a Dish 300, w/ DishPro LNB to get 129? Where as 129 has a poor signal on D1000. If so, what is the way I could make this thing work, my zip is 29642, and there is no skew on this dish mount, but there is elevation markings, however I can make this dish do what it needs to do to be turned and angled to get 129 if this is possible. Thanks.

Yes, it will work fine. If you're looking to improve a D1000 install, just yank the DP-Dual from the 1000 and mount it on the D300 (or even better, a D500 with I-adapter from DishStore.net). Now just "stretch" the jumper that runs between the two D1000 LNBs and you're done.

How would I angle this Dish 300 to get 129, does it have to be sideways like the D1000 or what? I need to know the elevation as well.

No clue what you mean by "sideways".

You get the azimuth & elevation numbers from your receiver's Point Dish screen.

By "sideways" he's referring to the skew, which is unnecessary with a single circular LNBF. The skew is necessary on the dishes with multiple LNBFs because the elevations for each satellite are different, one side higher than the other.
