Just wondering what is the name of the Charlie dish that will pick up 110,119,129?

Thanks for your help

You'll want to use a Dish 1000.2

That is the best suggestion but there are 2 more
TURBO HD which I think comes as a western arc and an eastern arc
The western arc is far preferred because most P$ support 110 119 and 129 and the eastern arc is 61 72 77 which is not as well supported even though at one time they were mirrors
There is also a 1000.4 which is the eastern arc version of the 1000.2 - it has a different location of the LNBs like the eastern arc Turbo Dish where one LNB is not an equal distance

IMO the 1000.2 is slightly easier to aim than the Turbo HD dish but the Turbo has slightly superior mounting hardware which has an adjustment screw for setting elevation that make it a lot easier.
These are not the same dishes regardless of what someone may tell you but they will both perform very well. I think the Turbo is the latest but for the same money I would buy the 1000.2
The LNBs for the western arc dishes are identical as are the eastern arc choice (one LNB set out further on the eastern)

Also some FTA satellite receivers will have problems with the 3 head LNB on the D1000 series dishes, most are too under powered to run the 3 head LNB correctly, and old Dish receiver or a DP switch power inserter or DP44 powered switch would be needed to run this type of LNB correctly.
