Hello, I am currently using a 23 inch multistar elliptical dish currently pointing at sat 110,119 but would like to know if I can get sat 129? Which kind of bracket would I need. I would drop sat 119 if 110 and 129 is all I need.
Thanks

All you need is a bracket setup for the correct spacing for those 3 satellites, (9 degrees for 110 to 119, 10 degrees for 119 to 129) 119 will be the center bird, with 129 on the left (looking from the back of the dish) and 110 on the right.
Your dish or bracket needs to also be skew able in the right direction,(turned clock wise or counter clock wise, this depends on your location) this aligns the LNB's up with the arc of the satellites at your location.
You would find 119 first by using TP 12414 with the tuner set to CH#101, this is a CONUS beam and CH#101 should be an open channel.
Once you get that bird lined up you can skew the dish or bracket very very slowly till you get 110 and 129.
Hi it depends on your location 129 footprint is very weak in my area I need at least 26-32 inches
You could also try just strapping a LNB to the side of your 119 LNB with a hose clamp and you should be able to bring in 129 by adjusting the new 129 LNB up and down a bit till you grab the signal, It's called a "poor mans dish" and can work great if you can't find a bracket for your dish.
I've done that but added a popsicle stick in betweenQuote:
