Hi mickie71443 my name is Mike Houston of DISH Network and I was reading over your post and to find out what satellites you have you can press the buttons of Menu-6-1-1 and the tab Check Switch. You will see the satellites of 61.5, 72, 77 or 110, 119, 129. If you do not see the 129 satellite it means you are not setup for it. If you have the 129 satellite you will want to select Test and after the entire test are done clear out of all menus and let the system reacquire the signal and download the program guide and you will have all your programming.
