Hello All,
The Dish 1000 has three LNBs 119w; 110w; and 129w.
I have found no information on the 129w satellite.
Is this for future use or did I waste my money.
I am switching over from Dish 500 using all Legacy
recievers and adding a 721 to the mix using a single line with a seperator. Also I have a dish pointed at the 61.5w
satellite. It will all be tied together with a DPP 44 switch.
East coast location, 194xx zip.
Any info appreciated.

129 is where they moved voom to. However 61.5 also has voom.
As far as did you waste your money? No, the plan is to eventually have all major 61.5/148 programming on 129 so that you can eliminate having 2 dishes.

DISH1000 is an excellent solution in my opinion.

Thanks for your response. The "Dish 1000" install was a snap.
I just marked the dish 500 position, set the new Dish 1000 in place checked with my Satellite Finder and all three Satellites are as strong as the 500 dish. I was surprised since I had read that the signals were less on the Dish 1000.
I then switched out the dish 300 with the 500 and 61.5 was stronger than ever.
