lnb setup

My setup is fortec ultra and dish pro with two dual lnb's. I can only get 110 satellite. On my receiver menu is shows 95% signal strenght for 110 and 119. When i view the 119 it says bad or scrambled channels on all of 119 satellite. I have tried to use the disqc switch and the dish network switch and neither one works. Should the switch be grounded or is there other issues concerning my setup?
