Default Help picking up 129....

Already have Dish500 with pretty good quality/signal for 110/119. Bought a dish daucer bracket and have a single DN dish pro lnb attached in the 129 spot. When I go to antenna setup to setup 129, it's showing mid to upper 80's quality but in the very upper right hand corner, it's saying 119 instead of 129. I'm not sure if it's pointed incorrectly, which it shouldn't be, or if maybe the cheapo diseqc switch that came with my viewsat is a dud... what do you think?

If I'm not mistaken the dp500 has a built in swith so using a disq switch won't work,
what you need is 22khz switch. The off side should go to the 110 / 119 sat's
and the on side to the 129 sat.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Most likely dish will have to be skewed to bring in 129W. 129W is on the
outside edge of the daucer but the dish was previously aligned for only
110/119.

Try what Priestmill has suggest, Skew the dish first. This is the dish being able to rotate on its center axis,similar to the steering wheel of a car to track multi-satellites.

if that bracket is sat-specific (119, 110, & 129) it should be close already to match 119-110 skew,, and should require just a little tweaking skew-wise..
