j8, no offense but your posts are hard as heck to read. This really isn't a place for text messaging type communication. This is a technical forum so complete sentences with proper grammar, capitalization and punctuation are helpful to most. Just a suggestion.

I think you are being very polite to J8 from his other posts I just assumed he was of low intelligence without the ability to spell and punctuate. Now for myself I know I can't type.

so anyways, hitting the 110 thru the 119 LNB only requires a tiny bit of realignment, or much alignment?

it can be hard, turn dish very slightly when moving...

 

[whiteandnerdy]

would the skew need to be adjusted at all??

A few years ago I left part of a finger in the attic when a ladder slipped, definitely affects typing. But capitalization and punctuation can still be done it just takes time and patience.

Usually when having problems picking up the satellite on the wrong LNB means a 3-5 degree elevation correction. Skew when set to specs will usually be close enough to get signals on both satellites. If mast is not plumb slight adjustment of skew may improve signal but elevation is usually the problem.

Maybe, But when adjusting/ moving dish, do it slightly.. its good idea 2 tighten dish so it can move slightly only, when your finished then tighten fully

good point..

Maybe this will also help.

went to the lake this weekend.....same thing
changing the elevation got me up to about a 60 on the 110 (still thru the 119 lnb) while 119 is no where to be found

 

[digiblur]

Sounds like your skew and/or elevation is wrong. Seen that many times getting 110 through the 119 LNB. You'll need to cover the 110 LNB with foil and find 119 first, set your skew and you'll be good to go once you uncover and tweak very carefully.
