All, I am going to use Dish Network at my tailgate for the first time this year and have a question. I have a Dish 500 setup on a tripod connected to a Dish 211. I was able to use a compass and get 110 and 119 with a strong signal. My question is how do I find 129. I am really interested in having HD so I figure I need to re-point to 119 and 129. What is the best way to find this. My zip code is 72704. Thanks
 
If you have 110 and 119 just turn the dish nine and a skosh more degrees west and your at 119 and 129
 
is this going to work tho? i would think the signal is going to pretty weak. Most people I've read about, have trouble getting 129 with stationary dishes. Can't imagine the trouble with a tripod mount.
 
I use a 1000.2 to get 110, 119 and 129 at my tailgate. I have (mistakenly) picked up 119 and 129 on a Dish 500 (before using the 1000.2) and actually had a pretty strong signal.
 
The only problem with getting 119 and 129 is you aren't going to get ESPN HD because it is only on 110. That's what I was wanting to do, but sounds like I am going to have to get a Dish 1000.2.
