SG2100 set up with linear and circular lnbf problem

I have a SG 2100 set up with a linear lnbf. I can pick up everything from 72 deg west to 127 deg west with no problems using the linear lnbf. Recently I have tried adding a circular lnbf strapped to the linear lnbf like Sadoun's example,

My problem is that I am only able to get Nimiq 1 and echo 7 which are on either side of my true south sat. after that I am only able to get signal strength and no quality. From my past experience this usually means the skew is off or your whole set up is not straight up and down.

Has anyone had this problem? Any ideas as to what I can do to fix it. Since I am able to get all the Ku sats in my viewable area I feel my dish is still plumb.
Thanks,
Brian

Well are you using disqec 1.2 manual move to peak the s/q on the circular sats?

Or if you are using USALS,depending if you set the circular lnb to the left or to the right, try changing position of the satellitte by 4-5 degrees east or west.

yea.. thatll probably work too. Thanks vj i never thought of this one. That way whenever i do channel editing through the computer i dont have to teach the receiver all over again to memorize the 1.2 positions for the circulars.
