Should I always be able to get at both satellites? Last night I stopped getting any signal from 119, and it has not come back. I've done a couple hard boots, but it does not help. Strangely, 110 now is much stronger. I suspect the dish slipped in the direction of 110, but I want to make sure this is not just some routine thing that happens before I call the installer.
110 and 119

Get a pencil, mark where the dish mounts to the mast with a vertical mark. then get a 7/16" wrench and look at the mount. There should be 3 bolts and nuts that clamp your dish 500 to the mast loosen these enough to move the dish. Slightly move your dish(standing looking straight at it) to your left the equavalent of the pencil mark. Go in and check signal strength, if 119 is back repeat until you have an equal signal on both. IF you lost 110 go back to the pencil mark and go the other way. Do not move the bolts that adjust your angle unless 1. they do not match what your set up screen says or you know that it is obviously been knocked off. If you are not confident in doing any of these things... do not, wait on the installer. If you can hear the tones that the reciever puts out it makes it a lot easier. You can listen to the pitch and tweak until you get a higher pitch(stronger signal).
BEFORE doing any of this, check your connections at the switch and dish!

np... I would do the same as they are obligated. I have done all of my installs so It is easier to get mine to do the job
