82, 91, 110, 119, & 129 with one dish?

So here's my setup.

I currently have a Shaw Direct sub, so I already have one elliptical dish on my house.

I have in the basement:
1 - 18" DTV dish
1 - 18" x 24" Elliptical dish with 4 LNB bracket (meant for 91, 101, 110, 119)
4 - dual LNBF

I used to use the elliptical to get 91, 110, and 119.

I'd prefer to put up just one dish (no motor) and get 82, 91, 110, 119, 129. However I think getting 82 and 129 on the same dish might be problematic. From what I can tell 82 and 129 have the HD content for each provider, so I'd really like to hit those.

I've seen brackets that will hold 6 or 7 LNBF (72, 82, 91, 101, 110, 119, 129) but I'm not sure if I'd actually get reliable signal on the five that I want with one dish?

I could buy a 85 cm dish with a bracket to fit my LNBF's
I could do 82 & 91 only.
I could do 110, 119, & 129 only.

I could do two dishes, but would rather not.

Whatever I do, I'd like to use an external diseqc switch to keep the wiring to a minimum, would a 8x1 diseqc switch work alright? With only the receiver to power the LNBF's, and switch?

​Where are you located?

Sorry, that'd help.

I'm in Toronto and have been able to reliably get 91, 110, and 119 on the 18x24 in the past.

im ins/w ontario i have a 33" digiwave dish and draws in all 5 that you are wanting signal from 75% to 97% nothing lower
110 center my friend was so impressed he bought one no more multiple dishes just one so much cleaner

I was thinking of an E85 dish with 5 LNB bracket. Should do everything I want it to. Then I'd just need one more LNB and a big ladder to put it up on the roof (only suitable spot).

What's your wiring like? How do you have the coax running?

Cool, right now i got dishes all over the place. I want this setup, I want to get 91,110,118,119,129. They all require circular lnbs correct?

118 requires the special low frequency circular lnb. With it you will receive both 118 and 119 - you need a total of 4 lnbs (or just one if you were to go motorized )

ok thanks.
