    It could be a location problem if you didn't have a good signal before, 129W has a funny footprint, at some locations you could use a 10 inch dish, other locations a 39 to 48 inch dish would be needed.

    I'm almost right under 129 but need a 39 inch dish for a good fade free signal.

    Look a the link below, use the CONUS beam (selected in the pink area at the top of the page) and zoom into your location, then click on it, this will give you an estimated dish size needed for your location.

    Code:

    It could also be a DC power problem as most FTA receivers can't power the Dish 1000 LNB (for very long) as it is a power hog.
