Lnb Trouble

OK - 119 is now 119, and hefty! Per your post #14, we know the 110 eye is OK.

Next is to check the skew. If the pole mount isn't perfectly plumb, the skew setting will be off, as will be the elevation.

So, if you had to use a much different elevation number than called for, your mount is off-kilter, which means you'll have to jack things around to get 110.

Grab a level and check it out.

Skew on a D500 takes care of the difference in elevation between 110 & 119. A skew value greater than 90 means the 119 eye is higher (the bird is lower in the sky), less than 90 is 110 eye is higher than the 119 one.

In any event, by now, you should be getting a feel for things.

So, visualize where that eye is looking before you mess around getting 110. Then once you find 110, see what happened to the 119 eye, and adjust skew and elevation as necessary. It's more of an art than rocket science at this point.

Start over. Make sure you have the skew where it is supposed to be and have not tweaked it.. Elevation is where it is supposed to be and not tweaked more than a degree or two and the mast is plumb. If not, you'll never pull in two. If so, you should be able to pull both in with just a elevation tweak and nothing more. Once pulled in you can peak with a touch to elevation.
If all of that was followed,and still no signal, it is a bad lnb.
