Now that the 1000.2 in up and working. Here are the signal percentages on each transponder.

129 Satellite I can get only signal only on two Transponders....

TP 05 is 30%, and TP 32 is 30%.

Are these signals strengths normal...poor, or just fair? Can't seem to get them above thse figures.

I've done just about all there is in way of azimuth, elevation, and screw angles.
Knowing that the 129 is a weak dude, I'm going to coax my Dish 500 with the single dual LNB to the "IN" port on the 1000.2 LNB side. That is, as soon as the single dual LNB arrives, and the single dual LNB bracket. I would move the 500 to 61.5 sat, but there is a tree some 400' southeast of my location. According to my zip code, the azimuth is 126, and elevation is 34. Screw is negative... I might that setting the 500 for 61.5 first just to see if the tree is in the way.

Those look like slightly better numbers than a professional got for a new installation for me.

Also, I take a dish on the road in my travel trailer. If I got numbers like that each time, I'd always be happy. I'm sure you're getting a perfect picture. When you're dealing with a digital signal, once you get it, you get it. You gain nothing trying to improve the signal strength from 65 to 85 for example.
 

What setup will be required...

Which dish should I be getting (Pittsburgh HD)?
