dish 500 help

All,
I figured someone here could help. My dish moved a bit during a storm and I'm having some trouble realigning. I have a 622 dish plus system with a 500 and a 300 dish. Because of the way it is mounted the mast on the 500 is not plumb on the house and cannot be. I have made all the adjustements the old fashioned way with a level/compass, etc.

The pitch on the roof is 6/12 or 45 degrees for those of you that might not know that. The mast is perpendicular to the roof.

Here is my symptoms I can peak both sat inputs from the dish on 110 or turn the dish 9 degrees clockwise and have both sync on 119 using the dish point screen. I have been messing around trying to get both 100 and 119 by adjusting skew and elevation with no luck. Any help or suggestions would be good. I hate the roof!

This may be a hard pill to swallow, but you might save yourself some time and headache by getting a new mount that can be mounted plum, and then you can use the skew angles from the installation book to accurately skew the dish.

got it

I ordered the johnson magnetic angle finder from sadoun and it hooked me up with the correct angles on my setup, the other issue I believe I was having was not running a check switch after I locked on 119.
