The reason you can scan in 119 so easily is that the circular sats used by the pay-tv providers are putting out about 10times the signal strength of the other (linear-polarized) sats. So you have to be on the pitcher's mound to get the signal from most of the fta sats we watch, not just in the ballpark.
You can be 'close' to the dbs (direct-broadcast) satellites and get signals from them. You could prob get them with a pie-tin and an lnbf lol.
Tweak out 119 signal for the best strength you can, then move you dish west about 1/8 to 1/4 inch, see if you can hit 121. Peak the signal strength/quality there, then go for 123.
