3 LNB dish point issue

[ElkBuster]

I'm installing a triple LNB dish on a remote island off shore (No Techs or pro installers period!)
I'm connected to a R22-100 DVR reciever.
I've acquired Satt 110 @ 95% transponders 8,10,12
Satt 101 @ 74% transponders 28, 30, & 32
but can't hit Satt 119!

Congratulations you have found 110. How about some honest information if you want help. Where are you?

I'll give him the benefit of doubt. :0

Check your tilt setting. That dish points at 110, so getting high signals is a good start.
The tilt is off so 101 is low and 119 is missing.

BTW, what is a "satt"?

You are probably pointing at 101 instead of 110 (I think this is what boba was referring to), since the only transponders Directv has on 110 are 28, 30 and 32. I suspect that 119 is being received on the 110 LNB, which shifts the frequency so only some of the transponders can be seen. You need to point around 10-15 degrees further west so that the 110 LNB sees the 110 satellite. You may need to adjust the tilt after you get the real 110 satellite.

Picking up 8/10/12 on a phase 3 is correct for 110 but without a correct skew and azimuth it is hard to tell him where his pointing is off. If he is afraid he is doing something illegal and needs to hide his location how is someone supposed to give guidance. From his post is he talking about a Canadian location or Turks and Cacos or maybe off the California coast.

Satellite Finder / Dish Pointing Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com will give AZ (magnetic and true), EL and tilt values for any latitude and longitude values. Scrolling down the satellite list, there is an option for 101/110/119.
