Pointing 1 dish at 2 satellites?

[doctornobody]

I have a Dish 500 with a Dish Pro Quad LNBF, which means I can get 110W and 119W with the same dish. From my research it appears if I get the dish pointed properly at 119 I will also have it properly aimed for 110. Is this right?

Yes, if you peak on the 119, you will get the 110 IF the settings (skew, elevation) are correct on the dish.

You mean if the settings for 119 are correct, right? 110 and 119 have different settings.

When they are both received through the same dish, you have one setting. Go to dishpointer.com at the top of the page, type in your address, click on multi lnb, selectect 110/119 satellite and it will give you the correct setting.

Proper setting for a Dish 500 would be to get both sats and would actually point in between the two sats, the spacing between the two lnb's allows both sat to be picked up.
