We had to move our dish, it suddenly started coming in and out so we thought it was trees. Found out it was a bad cable. But now when we are trying to re-set up the coordinates it won't find satellite 110 back. We can run the check switch and only find 129 and 110. We have tried coving 110 with tinfoil but can't get any signal. I don't believe there are any obstructions in the way from what we can tell. We tried moving it slightly east and up to get 110 but still no luck..please help!

Dish 500.reciever tried on 110 and 119. Usually get 73% signal strength about for both 110 and 119. It will only lock on 119. It shows 73% with it on 110 but stays in the red. everything I read says move it further east and up, but then iit goes to zero signal.
Umm, the Dish 500 only has 2 lnbs, therefore you can only get two satellites. If you were getting all three before, there has to be another dish somewhere.
The OP made an error in the 1st post. They mention only 119 & 129 now
One thing is I hope they didnt mess with the skew

Since the OP has location as Minnesota I'm going to take a stab at it (since I'm in MN too)
Dont know where exactly you are but the elevation for the dish should be between 31-35. 31 if your closer to the Canadian border and 35 for Iowa border. In the Minneapolis area its 34
If you stand behind the dish cover the LEFT side of the LNB. Use the right one only. This is for 119.
On the receiver install (menu 6-1-1) select satellite 119 transponder 21
aim dish until you lock 119 at a good signal (70's)
remove covering off the other LNB
rerun check switch....110 should pop in

ahhh crap you're right. It is the right one
elevation is between 34 for Twin Cities area. If you go west or east of there the elevation doesnt change.

I lost reception on sat.110 starting yesterday with pixilation, this morning nothing, anyone else?
Sorry, but that is backwards, if you are looking at the lnb from behind the dish, the lnb on the left is for 119, they are backwards to their position in the sky because they reflect off the dish. Also a D500 Y bracket has labels for 110&119 right by the lnb.
Your original problem was simple, you were just off by ~10 degrees to the west. point about 10 degrees east and search for a signal in that area. Covering the 110 lnb isn't a bad idea, if you make sure you cover the 110 lnb and get verified 119 signal inside, you should be good to go once you uncover 110 and run a checkswitch test.
You have not been very helpful with information on your equipment. Earlier in this thread I asked about your equipment and the only thing you answered was that you had a dish 500 dish. What receiver do you have? Do you have 2 separate grey LNBs on the "Y" yoke or is it 1 wide LNB? What is a LNB "transmitter" is their markings on these things you don't know what they are? I am guessing the "transmitter" is a silver box about 2"square and an inch thick 2 cables on one side and a single cable going to the receiver. That would be a SW-21 switch for Legacy LNBs and probably is your problem, but until this last post we didn't even know it existed.
