Raleigh- 129 or 61.5?

[danderson101]

I'm thinking about coming back to Dish and have clear shot to both 129 and 61.5. (in Raleigh, NC) Is 61.5 that much stronger than 129 that I should insist
on a 2 dish install, or just go with the one 1000+ dish??? (I've also got a clear shot to 110,119, and 118.75). Or, put another way, how many folks in the Raleigh area have no problems with 129?

The only HD channel on 129 that's NOT on 61.5 is sports south. I've had 61.5 for years and a strong signal always. If you can get a good signal on 129, go for it. If you don't mind 2 dishes, go for a 5 satellite solution.

Fox South HD and Sports South HD are on 129 only, I am near Charlotte I have a 1000+ pointed at 119, 118 (For HD Locals) and 110, I have a second DISH a DISH 500 with the LNB/arm adaptor pointed at 129 signal strength over 80 on most transponders with no dropouts or problems.
