Big Dumb Guy Needs Help (119???)

I can't be the only person with this problem, but my searches aren't turning up anything. If this is a dumb question that's been asked a million times, I apologize. Pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated...

MY PROBLEM:

I'm using a Dish 500 satellite (Dish Network), a Dish Pro 301.013 receiver and a DishPro twin LNB. I'm in southern Georgia, so my key settings are Azimuth 232, Elevation 40, Skew 131.

At these settings, I get nothing. It's only when I knock the elevation to ~60 that I pick up the 110 satellite. But there's no sign of the 119. I've drug my elevation and azimuth all over the place, and still nothing. I can get the 110 strength up to almost the peak (125), but my system always say "Wrong Sat" when I try to get 119. My coax is plugged into the 119 side (as instructed in the book), but even if I switch it, there's no difference. I even tried a second LNB, and it's giving me the same results.

My view of the sky is completely clear, and I've run "Check Switch" on every setup I've tried (Twin LNB & Dual LNB, Coax tried in both sides). No luck. I can bring in the 110 channels, but there's no sign of the 119 satellite.

Any suggestions??

If you get the 110 sat on the 119 side of the lnbf it will never see the 119.Try this first take the satellite in cable off the rec.then do a check switch this will clear the switch matrix in the rec it will read xx xx .Now being that you are confident you can get the 110 sat.get a dual lnbf and put it on the 110 side of the y adapter and tune in the 110 sat once done take dual off and put dish pro twin back on and run a check switch and the 119 will be their.The only time I`ve had a problem after doing this is when power lines or telephone lines are in the path of the 119 and being the dish pro is more prone to interference all I had to do was take the dish pro twin off and put a legacy twin on and that fixed the interference problem hope this helps
