What is Sat 129S?

[emathis]

OK, this is a new one on me.
This AM I had a couple of channels breaking up badly every minute or so (I have a HWS).
When I looked at the channel info, it said sat 129S. I never heard of sat 129S.
To double check what sats I am using I did a system check and it was green on all 3 sats (119, 110, 129).
When I went back to channels I was having a problem with they were fine and an info check now shows sat 129.
Does anyone know what was going on?
Is 129S an old sat and a system check got me back on the correct sat?

There is only one satellite at 129. So does 129 mean 129 satellite?
Or if they were locals maybe 129 spotbeam?

He's talking 129S, which of course doesn't exist. It is actually 129W. There is a bug that sometimes causes an S to appear next to the Satellite with the Hoppers. I'm sure that's what he saw.
