i got too cold and was able to get 129 on a single dish but want to add it to my 110/119 setup. I have an elliptical dish 24 inch.

This is the adapter i found http://www.shop4fta.com/images/products/dish-1000_2-legacy-dual-lnb.jpg

This is the dish i have http://www.calgarysatellite.ca/v/vspfiles/photos/24-Inch-Elliptical-Dish-2-Pack-2T.jpg

Im in southern ontario in Hamilton. Anyone successfully get 110/119/129 on 1 dish??

You shouldn't have any issues with that dish at all in picking up all 3 sats. You may need to adjust your spacing for 129 since it's 10 degrees off of 119 and not the usual 9 degree spacing which is most common.

I think you should be just fine... The pic is kinda small and the angle of the bracket makes it difficult to tell but I've seen brackets like that one (could be the very same one, but I can't tell from the pic) that have a slightly wider space between 119 and 129 than there is between 110 and 119. Are all of your slots spaced equally? Even if they are, you'll still be able to pull in all sats- you'll just lose a bit of quality on 129 but I wouldn't sweat it...

there is a space between 129 and 119. Any sugesstions on which sat to use as my first one to setup?

If it was me, I would try to catch 119 first in attempt to get my best Q. Then, I would try for 110 with slight adjustments. 129 has always been the hardest, IMO.

that bracket is spaced according for 110-119-129 and can be used with legacy or DishPro LNBs

you may find 129 is to low in the horizon from your area,10 deg. lower than 119,you can get 110,119,91 with your dish setup fine
