If your dish elevation shows 10 degrees higher than the 33 degree listing for your location it means your dish mast is not level. Take a small bubble level and true out that mast.

Skew makes a huge difference. Just preset azimuth, elevation and skew to the numbers for your area and play around. Yes, the 119 satellite is lower in elevation than the 110. So you might have obstructions in the way.
