Can't lock 129

I have standard definition nano premium running sats 91,110, 119. I have now installed a dish for 129. I have perfect quality and signal, but I can't lock on the sat. Is this because I only have a sd receiver? Do I need a HD receiver to lock on to 129? I know I won't be able to scan any HD channels, I'm just trying to set the dish for my new receiver. I have attached a picture of my 2 dishes. Top one running 110, 119. Bottom for 129. I attached pick because I'm not sure if they are to close together and could that cause a problem?

Attachment 22567

you can use transponder 12.516 to pinpoint the sat.

Tried that. No luck. Perfect s & q.... But no lock.

Looking at the picture I would say your dish is way off if you are using the lower one. Skew should be the same as the top one and only 10 degrees difference in azimuth. 10 degrees is about the thickness of one of the upper lnb.

I didn't look at the picture but whoknows has a good eye, looks like you may be aimed at 91 with the bottom LNBF

yep 12516 is the only non HD conus TP on 129 that isn't a spot beam ... here are the specs... c/p lyngsat

12516 R

Problem solved. Swapped out for a BEV lnb and realigned dish again. Locked and loaded! Thanks to all those who replied.

You have a SD receiver downloading the 129 is a HD sat, you will pickup the non HD channels but you will not get the HD channels!!
