Dish 500 - 121 and 129

[ekans]

Is it possible to use a dish 500 to get both 121 and 129 (International and HD)?
I am a newbie learning a lot about DIY, so please help me with details about what exactly I need to do if this is possible. If not, I will have to go with 2 dish 500s.

You can use a Dish 500 to pick up the 129 if you had to but to get the 121 requires the use of a superdish. The 121 is a fss satellite and uses different settings than the 129. Thus you cant use the 500 to get them both, The 500 pulls in 119 and 110 or the dish 1000 pulls in 110, 119, and 129 as a general rule

I know people have used the 121superdish by adding a 4th lnb to pull in the 129 sat. Do some 'surfing' you should be able to read about it.

Thanks for your responses. I kinda figured that out by reading more on the forums.
