Best DISH for 129 in South Carolina?

[david803sc]

Ok I have a Dish 500+ pointed at 119,118,7, and 110. I have the adaptor to make it a 1000+ but got poor signal and drop-outs on 129. so I have a second DISH which is a DISH 500 with an adaptor on the LNB arm to convert it to a single LNB Dish, I had it aimed at 61.5 but want my local RSN's in HD which are only on 129 so I re-pointed this DISH to 129 tonight, my question is I have an offer for a new DISH 1000 to replace the converted DISH 500 just for the 129 slot, which DISH would give me the best signal strength for 129? Do I keep the converted DISH 500 or will the 1000 give me better signal strenght's for 129? I am in South Carolina my 129 SS after re-pointing the converted DISH 500 are:

I don't know if I would change anything. SS is looking pretty good. I have a 24" in iowa and my signal is just a little higher, but not much. I have about 86 on tp 11 and top out at 105 on tp31.
