I am trying to setup a dish 500 and I am trying to lock onto 119 and 110.
The problem is I found the 119 out of the 110 lnb. If I rotate it more in that direction I cant lock onto either one( move the 119 lnb toward the right). My zip is 75154 and I have it set at azimuth 205, elevation 47, skew 116. What should I do?
 
biggest thing is to make sure that your mount is level, all of those measurements are based off of a level mount, other than that, try lraising your elevation by a degree
 
You you're seeing 119 with the 110 lnb you are too far right, go left and up slightly.
 
Well first of all make sure the mast is plumb. Then set everything like it should be skew, elev, etc. Once you set the skew never touch it again. Swing around until you find the 119 and then adjust elevation and az. until you get the strongest signal and then do a switch test 110 should fall into place. If you are having a problem with that place a piece of tin foil over the 110 eye to make sure you are hitting 119 with the 119 LNB.
