adding a deck and moved my dish 1000.2 I aligned to 119 using foil over 110 and 129. I get 61 on 129 and 78 on 119 and all channels are fine on these 2 sats but I get wrong sat on 110 it says it is wrong sat and 129 and it is the exact same signal strength as 129 but in red of course. I reset switch by disconnecting and saving than reconnecting, check switch still shows no signal on 110. Any ideas.

What is the order the sats are listed when you run check switch? 119 should be fist then 110 and 129. if not that order your alignment is off.
Depending on where you are located for what the elevation is set to but if you are eastern US prob around 30-32 as long as the mount is plum you should be able to then just move it right to left to lock in. 119- transponder 16 should be getting around 80+ sometimes as high as 89, 110 transponder 14 should be around 75ish... 129 transponder 20 should be around 54 or more sometimes as high as 62-63 but rare.
As for the deck make sure again the post is plum put a level up against it and check that mostly in the direction in which the dish is aiming...if its not then adjust elevation to compensate.

My 1000.2 western arc was fairly easy. Set the pole so it is plumb. Set elevation and tilt or skew which ever you want to call it according to your zipcode. Then pull up the 119w sat on transponder 15. Slowly move dish east to west extremely slowly. Very small increments until the signal meter jumps to green. Peak the dish for.best east west signal. Now tighten it down. Peak the elevation. Your done.
With a level mastmake sure to check the level on all sides and not just the up and down swing. You peak the 119 my area that means mid 70's on 15. Then you start playing with the skew until the 110 and 129 are acceptable. Again in my area its mid 60's on 110 and upper 40's low 50's on 129

Try covering the two outside lnbs with foil and see if you still get 119. If you don't, you need to repoint your dish as stated above.
He did say he did it but it doesn't sound like it was done correctly. It really does sound like he is one sat off.
