You want a separate dish (unless you happen to have two 1000's). Find 61.5 by putting in a 300 as dish type and setting NO skew (90) on a 500( and I guess a 1000).
If you've moved your Dish1000 you may have to have Dish come out and realign it for 110/119/129 - it's not easy. Will cost you some bucks.
AZ = 239, EL = 28, SK = 126

Now, that's for 110/119/129. You cannot get 61.5 with a single dish solution: you need two different dishes, one for 110/119 and another single for 61.5. I had to do that here in MD because 129 is so low on the horizon and I couldn't clear the trees in the distance: a common problem in the northeast/mid-atlantic where we are.
