Dish Aiming

[RDUN]

New member . . . I've been reading a lot lately but have never posted. I'm about to add an 811 to my set-up and to do so bought a Dishpro quad LNB to swap out my dual LNB. While I'm doing that I want to try to adjust my dish a little. Does it matter when looking at the "point dish" screen which transponder on each satellite (110 and 119) I try to maximize. I found a listing somewhere that looked like most of the channels I watch are coming from 119 E*7 and the HD channels are at 110 E*8. When I look at the signal strength for these two 119-E7 is about 60 and 110 E*8 is at 110.

Any suggestions?

With that variation, I'm guessing your tilt is off, or you have line of sight problems to 119.

The transponders you're using should be fine to aim.

DISH recommends using transponders above 10 so you don't use a spotbeam, 11 & 12 are normal recommendations.
