I think it's clear that anybody with 121 Superdish can get the 129 signal just by attaching another DP single. Why won't Dish make a replacement for that. I realize that the Superdish LNB isn't so easy to take off and put back on, but it's easier than installing a 2nd dish.
Why won't Dish make an Dish1000LNB upgrade for SD121

That is a good point but those that already have a SuperDish do not need a Dish1000. The purpose of the Dish1000 was to save money by not having to install the expensive SuperDish while obiding by the law on having all locals in a given city on one dish.
Possibly he means the voom channels? I havent updated myself lately as to where the voom channels are all located at.....that or Im having a brain fart and cant remember.
Some of the markets are still at 105 and 121 so that would be a great idea. I am sure there will be dishes in the future that will have more than three lnbf's on it.
Currently LA HD Locals and ESPN2-HD are only transmitted from 129, so it would be a nice upgrade for the 121 superdish. I'm guessing when these channels launch, customers will be required to upgrade to a dish1000, or install a 2nd dish pointing at 129 to compliment their 121 superdish.
I had always thought that when 129 came out that they would come up with some type of upgrade that would add the lnbf on. The SuperDish could be a solution for Dish Network to reuse the same reflector to save on install time, just change out the kit on the arm.
