Got our install taken care of.

On 110 and 119 we're getting 105 on the meter. For 129 we're getting between 80-85. The tech said that if we can get 70 on the 129 bird we're doing great, lol.
 
Give the signal strength on transponder 11 from 110 & 119 your main satellites seem low at 105 but if your using a 1000 it is a compromise solution. You would actually get better signals with a dish 500 for 110 & 119 and another for 129. Seeing it dosen't rain in North Texas you will be ok.

LOL, funny.... :D

I'll check when I get home on TP 11 on both main sats. I want to say that the 105 signal strength was from TP10, don't quote me on that though.

The dish I have says DISH 1000 on it, and it has 2 LNB assemblies. One for 110/119 (looks just like a DP from the DISH 500) and a single DPP one for 129. It doesn't look like either DISH 1000+ or 1000.2.
 
I have an install scheduled for Sunday (for my 622s) and fortunately I convinced them not to install a D1000. My HD locals are available on 110 and I have a 61.5 up already.

Im using a SuperDish for 110 and 119 and my signal strengths are through the roof and I get ZERO rain fade.
