It should work fine. You will need a Dish Network LNBF on it.

I have a Dish Network account and live about 20 miles north of Seattle, Washington. In November 2005 I purchased a Dish 942 receiver and Dish installed their
Dish 1000 antenna. My signal strength from satellite 129 initially ranged from 50-60 depending on the transponder checked. My
installer said that was the best they could do in this area.
After several more visits by Dish technicians (in which they were unable to solve the low signal problem), I gave up on them and paid a local installer to install and align a spare
Dish 500 I owned. This increased the signal to 63-84 depending on transponder (in good times only). I still have problems because while viewing 9470 (or other channels) the signal will like clockwork slowly drop from 70-73 to 30-40 with resultant picture loss. This happens about every 20-30 minutes and then it recovers.
I want to purchase and install a larger dish to alleviate this problem. Which Sadoun dish might be the one to use? I have the LNB from the 1000-129 that I have used on 500-129. Would the focal length for a Sadoun dish be correct for my use on the 129? I have seen on another forum that someone in Washington state has used an old Primestar antenna for similar purposes and now gets signal strengths of 90-100 for 129 transponders with NO loss of video signal.
Thank you,
