Is your mast as perfectly vertical as possible?
Have you set the skew properly?
Use TP 11 on 110 and 119 and tp 30 on 129.

Do you receive a Installation booklet with your dish 1000? If so, read it very carefully. It provides detailed instruction on installing and setting up your 1000. It also has a matrix chart for AZ, EL, and SKEW based on your ZIP.
If you don't have a booklet, go to the Dish Network web site and download one. It's very useful!
Per the pointing angles chart, azimuth would be 215, elevation would be 37, and skew would be 119.
After checking the Dish zipcode chart, the correct settings for your dish are:
Azimuth 209, Elevation 39, and Skew 115.
Having installed in the area, I believe that using this elevation and skew would be very close. Having said that, you are in a rugged, forested area, correct?
What you describe doesn't sound like equipment failure but sounds like a line of sight issue. 110 is the highest in the sky and you've probably got good line of sight. I suspect trees are blocking 119 and 129.
