If you are a using a 500 dish, you will only get 2 sats at a time 119/110 or 129/119
129 has very low elevation on the east coast. In your zip it is probably around 19-20 degrees

You can't not care about 110W. Not seeing 110W is a show stopper for a Western Arc installation such as you seem to be proposing.
If you've got something that you think is a stroke of absolute genius in mind, you should ask if it will work before you commit to trying to implement it. It may turn out to be an entirely different kind of stroke.

that little difference (1/2 a degree either way) isnt going to make much of a signal difference...we have folks using a D500 for 61.5 & 72.7 which is 11 degrees and it works fine
Both the skew and elevation will be off. The skew probably won't be a problem, but the elevation is going to be about 4.5 degrees high. The change in azimuth is about 9.3 degrees west.
The elevation of 129W would be 20 degrees so that's not too bad.
Again, none of this changes the fact that you can't do a WA install without 110W.
You could get a 1000.2 and that would do 110/119/129. That would be much easier to set up then 2 500's.
Why dont you point the 500 you want for 119/129 to 110/119, and swing the other over to just the 129, just a thought.
I think this would also allow you to use a DPP Twin to possibly avoid using an external switch. I don't think the DPP Twin will work correctly if it isn't seeing 110W.
129 sat for your zip cose is 20 degrees pointing at 252 degrees sw use transponders 21 to peak you should get 75 to 80 if using a 1000.2.
You can use a Dish 500 as a 1000 by using the single DP in one of the Y bracket slots while using one of the DPP holders in the other Y bracket slot which would allow half of the DPP to hang out over the edge. I have done this and it has worked.
I am curious, how much of an improvement does a Dish 500 gain you for 129? How about a SuperDish? Some people are having weak 129 signals around here.

Why not? Regular HD channels are simulcast to the 61.5, but chances are since he is in EA market his HD locals may not be available on 129. I have done plenty of 61.5 add-ons just for the HD locals
