you need a larger dish for 119.
Folks in the Carribean need a 4 foot dish for 119. 110 can get by with a smaller dish for HD due to the spotbeam
Here is a recent thread from someone in USVI...it has info for Puerto Rico too

2 arcs
There are 2 arcs of sats for E* what is know as EA is 61.5, 72,7, & 77. WA (western) is 110, 119, & 129. Look angles for Jamaica would be better trying to use the EA set of sats.

I dont think Jamaica can see 72 or 77W. The Caribbean HAS to use 110/119
61.5 requires a 5 1/2 foot dish MINIMUM

110 and 61.5 in Jamaica
I am a dish subscriber living in Jamaica and currently have two six ft dishes pointed to 110 and 61.5. I have no issues with the 110 but the 61.5 is weak to no signals on the following transponders: 2, 16, 22, 25, 32. At around 9:00pm the signal gets stronger and I am able to get most of my HD Bronze channels. However my real passion is to watch soccer (Arsenal) in HD and I would gladly drop all other HD channels to get FSC in HD. Would I be able to get 72.7 or 129 here in Jamaica using my six foot dish? I currently have a VIP 211 receiver. Is my better option 72.6 and 61.5 or 110 and 72.6?
