Winegard Traveller T4 or DISH Wally Problem?

Need some help getting pointed in right direction. Here are the facts:
DISH diagnostics screen reports satellites 110, 119 and 129 all with strong signal and “locked”. But switch status only shows 110 and 119 with green check mark, 129 is not listed. Therefore, I do not get the channels supported by this satellite.
Have run all the DISH recommended restarts, tests, check connections etc. No love. I don’t know what may be causing a switch status problem. So, the question: is this likely a Dish Wally, Wingard Traveller, coax cable or another issue? Any pointers will be much appreciated.
  • Remove the "Sat In" coax from the Wally receiver. Now run "Checkswitch" til the receiver says it can find no satellites. Select SAVE for this option. Turn everything off. Now re-connect the coax to the "Sat In" on the Wally and re-start the antenna and Wally. It should now receive all three satellites.
  • You mention Trav'ler (open face full size antenna) and T4 (dome style antenna) in the topic header. Which type antenna do you actually have?

    Bingo! Thanks, that did it! Appreciate your help very much.
