With 129 gone, who is best?

[BUD_n_Sons]

I have 4 separate 1 meter dishes, feeding a DPP44.
Since losing 129, who would be next best one?
Not looking for international content. Thanks, Kevin

What do you mean by “who would be next best one?”?

Next Best? So there's only 2 main satellites now if you're not into international @118 (I don't even know if that's still up?) I'm pretty certain 110/119 will be the mainstays of Dish. I guess Dish leased 129 because 148 was way out there and would require a separate dish that they needed to carry all the New HD channels and still have MP2 SD copies, because not everyone had HD TV's. I don't think if everything went towards 4k that it would be uplinked to satellites, it would be streamed. If Dish & DirecTV merge 119/110 would still be the main birds.

DIRECTV has an LNB that picks up 110 and 119 in addition to their primary locations of 99, 101, and 103. Not sure if that helps answer your question.

It wasn't a question. It was just a statement.

You just wouldn't use the 129. That's end of story. Can remove that dish or leave. There's no reason to try and pull in another satellite.
