Getting 119 and 129 instead of 119 and 110

Set up my satellite at the football game yesterday, and received 119 and 129, and usually get 119 and 110. I am using at dish 500. any idea why this is happing, and what affects it has on programming

Spacing between 110 and 119 is the same as between 119 and 129. You are just pointed too far west (between 119 and 129).

Move the dish east until it says "locked wrong sat". Then do switch check.

Correct but, also consider that you are locked on 129 at the moment which has a lower elevation... as you retune to set for 119 you may need to raise the elevation slightly as you may pass right by 119 and not know it.

Sounds like someone didn't do the foil over the 110 eye trick.

yea its an easy fix, your elevation is off either on the dish itsself or the mount your using, best thing to do is keep a magnetic carpenters level on hand for the tailgating to plumb your mast for the dish. You were most likely about five degrea's lower than what you should have been.
