3 LNB eliptical dish alignment

I have an eliptical dish which will hold 3 LNB's at 101, 110, 119. My problem is that I can't seem to get 110 and 119 to come in at the same time. I can peak 110 then I lose 119 and if I peak 119 I lose 110. I can find both satellites on both lnb's. I don't have a LNB installed at the 101 position. I have the dish tilt set at 126. Is this correct for my approximate location, 45.2 latitude 65.5 longtitude. What should the elevation be set to. I've tried settings around 24, 18 and 21 and still I can get one or the other but not both. What am I missing.

And then just when you think it can't get any worse, my switch went bad after only a couple of days in service.

check your skew...key in the 110 first,and adjust the skew till the second bird comes in.

Finally got it.

I moved the dish to another mounting location and it now works. I couldn't skew it far enough. It kept hitting the house.
