I currently have a Dish 1000.2 with Sats 110, 119, and 129 and plan to add another sat to the Dish 4th port (input) with an 18" dish500. Any recommendations as to adding 91 or 118.8? I live in southern Ca (SD). Thanks!

If you've dish 500 recommend 91, 118 you need oval dish to get international channels.

I don't think you will pick off 91 that far south

Thanks Nostradamus! With a DisPointer app it seemed I could project/get 91, and, also checked Lyngsat. However, tried for a couple of hours to do so with no luck. Can I Modify the 1000.2 dish to enable 118 with circular lnb?

You should still be able to get 91 for now. Until Nimiq6 replaces Nimiq1 later this year. So 118 may be a more stable bet, however you will need a special low frequency circular polarity LNB on a 30" dish. You may also consider 97, in which you would need a Linear LNB and 30-36" dish.
