Satellite Dish

We tried it all. We have no obstructions in the line of sight. The dish itself is an older 500 so it could be anything at this point. We called Dish and now have the $8/month service plan which covers all equipment and no cost service calls. A dish tech will be her this week to check it all out and also get us an upgraded HD dish and the latest receiver. We just upgraded our equipment in our house so now it will all be the latest/greatest. The plan even covers if we are away from home in the RV they will send a local tech to us. If the equipment breaks down it is free replacement and service call. We only have to keep the plan for 6months which means $48 vs $150 or more just for the new dish itself.

I key in on 110. Remove foil from 119 and 119 comes in immediately. I also use a 500 dish. I believe you have an obstruction blocking your dish.Good luck.

On mine.....usually if I hit 119...just a tweak and I get 110. To get 129 you have to adjust the skew. The skew for mine only affects the 129(HD) channels on mine.

Your problem is probably the skew angle is incorrect for your location. You can cover one of the heads with aluminum foil, then get the other pointed at the satellite it is supposed to pick up. Then, without changing anything else, move the foil and try the other head. loosen and rotate the skew until you find the other bird. Of course, check the settings for your location, and make sure your dish is set to those.

Channel 110 is on the 119 degree satellite. Channel 119 is on the 110 degree satellite. You are not getting the signal from the 119 degree satellite. This is most likely due to your location and an obstruction. Here are some other channels on the 119 degree satellite you are probably not picking up:

112
114
116
118

We have Dish in our RV and the only time we have that problem is if there is an obstruction, a tree or even a limb, in the way. Otherwise, no problem.
