I could be wrong but if the dish has "Turbo HD" on it should see three satellites. Either 110,119,129 or 61.5, 72, 77. This depends on your location and the actual dish configuration.
Maybe u could provide some more info like your city and state. That would help the experts here.

Since you have a dual tuner unit make sure you hook up the separator that comes with the receiver
or even better when you're in the menu aiming the dish, under TUNER it seems to default to 02 which obviously there is no hookup to. Make sure its on tuner 01

waht came with the receiver is a "triplexer" that says antenna satellite 1 satellite 2... is taht what u mean by the separator? im kinda new to the satellite stuff...
i havent checked in the "tuner" thing yet i could take a look at that when i give it a try again...
and thanks for the welcome
Here's some info on the triplexer from Dish techportal:
- Combines the functionality of a DISH Pro Plus Separator and a diplexer into a single device to simplify installation.
- Cables are pre-labeled using the blue SATELLITE IN and yellow CH 21-69 OUT labels for easier installation.
- The triplexer’s ports are color coded to match the color coding on the receiver’s back panel.
- The "Input" is connected to a DISH Pro Plus switch or LNBF and diplexer supporting the TV2 backfeed.
- The "Satellite In" ports are connected to a DISH Pro Plus dual-tuner receiver's two "Satellite In" ports.
- The “CH 21-69” port connects to the “Home Distribution” port on the receiver Note: If the TV2 backfeed isn’t used, this port can be connected to the receiver’s “Over the Air Antenna In” to diplex the OTA signal.
110, 119, and 129 are the three satellites (orbits) that you should be trying to point at with your dish.
the triplexer is connected to all the correct ports in the back of the receiver... i am tryin to aim at 110 and 119 and im getting absolutely nothing..
I know when I check the dual tuner units it seems to default on tuner 2
but yes that triplexer is what you would use. You would only use ports 1 & 2
make sure in the menus its set for satellite 119 transponder 11 or 13. The 1st 1/2 dozen or so transponders on 119 are spotbeams so they only work in specific areas (none in MN). 11 & 13 are CONUS (whole US) so they work anywheres
go to dishpointer.com and put in your location and select dish 1000.2 (thats the HD one). Make sure the elevation and skew are set properly
Is it possible to take a picture of the dish so we know which dish you have? Or if there is any literature that verifies what dish you have?
the picture of my dish is above your last quote.. its kinda small idk how to make it bigger... when i go to dish pointer it says the skew should be -1.4 degrees... my skew on the back of my dish is numbers like in the 200's... is -1.4 around 209 skew? that what the skew tells me to be when i put my zip in on the dish pointer option on the receiver... also the damn bracket doesnt have the elevation markings on it so its hard to get that elevation... i know im close cuz of my old dish that was on there that has the elevation numbers on the bracket..
when you click on the pic it does blow it up. I cant see the LNB's but from other pics it looks like you have the right LNB for 110/119/129
using dishpointer and selecting 1000.2 as the dish (110/119/129) I get the following
elevation 30 (well 29.7)
azimuth (where to aim) 214
skew (this is on the back of the dish) should be set to 112
Weird the bracket doesnt have elevation markings on it
Set skew to 112 and leave it
rough aim to 214 which is almost SW then go from there

Or you could call DISH for a professional installation before you accidentally damage the dish from lack of knowledge.
Here is the settings for your 1000.2 or 4 dish for your zip code:
Zip Code Elevation Azimuth Skew
558XX 29 213 113
557XX 29 212 112
I hope this helps.
