Hype?? I think you misunderstood something somewhere. 129 has nothing to do with 61.5, two different functions, two different ARCs. One is not a substitute for the other, or in most cases even would be used together. I don't know what three satellites you have, but you need 72.7 and 77 to go along with 61.5. Nothing in terms of progamming will be gained by adding 129 to that.
