Help pointing SuperDish 121

I have a SuperDish 121 that I am trying to point. Warinng, this is my first satellite install. :-)

The SuperDish is mounted on a flat roof. I've plumbed the mast, taken two 90 degress vertical measurements and one horizontal. Everything is level.

I've followed the directions to the letter. I have the skew 129* dialed in, elevation 20* and azimuth 254* set for my location as indicated from the zipcode table. I have the 121 feedline hooked up to port 1 of the multiswitch, the 119 on port 2 and the 110 on port 3.

However, I get nothing. I adjusted the elevation down from 20 to 15 degrees and found that I am able to get a reading of 115 on the 119 satellite, but this is coming from the 110 LNBF! Any thoughts on what would cause this?

I've read that the 121 is FSS and low power, 2* seperation etc. and I should dial that on in first.

Does anyone have any tips/tricks for sighting these in?

TIA -

bypass the dp34 and connect directly to 121 lnb tune signal in then try connecting switch and do a check switch.

I have found that sometimes the reciever gets into a state where
nothing will be displayed for signal.
In these situations i pull the card out, reinsert/ unplug it.(depending on reciever)
let it reboot. pull feed from dish out of reciever.(no feed connected)
do a check switch will count 1-38 all xx xx will be displayed.
at this point the reciever is listening for all types of signal
place check mark under sat you want to aim and use app. transponder
for that sat.
