Trouble aiming dish.... 119 comes in about 27/ 110 comes in 70+

I'm having trouble lately with low 119 signal. I'm on a Dish 500 and a 722 receiver. The 110 comes in strong about 70 but I can't get the 119
into the 30's. I've checked the cables, re-aimed the dish, adjusted the skew with no positive results for the 119. Also, why does the transponder number effect the signal strength? What transponder should the receiver be on when making dish adjustments?

If you cant get any higher than 30s on any 119 transponder and you are sure your mast is level I suspect a line of sight issue. 119 sits lower in the sky than 110. You should get 70s on 119 transponder 10

Thanks for the reply. I can't even get into the green on transponder 10. Line of site looks good so I'll recheck the level.

Sounds like a skew issue or the LNB. Why just a dish 500 on a 722?
