Dish pointing...need Help getting 119

[mf66]

Hello, hand some wind probs and my dish went out. I have a 20 inch round and have no probs getting 110 and 119 on my setup in the past. I had a bracket before and today I installed a yoke with 2 Dp dual lnbs and I have one receiver and a diseqc switch with no probs. standing behind the dish, I have 110 on the left and locked in with a sig quality of 95 and 75....119 is on the right and I am getting nothing??? I have checked dish pointer and checked the skew. And it's ok......can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated. Thanks mike

The lnbs on the dish will be opposite from their position in the sky as you are getting a reflected signal from the dish. 119 will be on the left and 110 on the right looking from behind the dish.

you have 119 above 110? you might have to adjust a bit on the skew. dish pointer gives you a rough estimate. personally i think those yokes are a bugger. i prefer the bracket but what i got and got 100% on both with(also a 20 inch pan) is 119 in the center and i placed a lnb for 110 to the right and just slid it down the side of the 119 lnb till i got perfect quality then i used a 4 inch hose clamp to clamp them together.
it couldn't be any better and its been perfect for 4 years now and i get lots of wind.

Standing behind the dish 110 should be on the right and 119 to the left.

Thanks so much! So if I set 110 with the right LNB (looking from behind) 119 should get dialed in with the yoke? Thanks

a bit of double sided tape and or crazy glue does the trick. lol i hate those brackets myself and i find playin around with it is alot easier and the crazy glue or gorilla glue works wonders. :)

It depends on how you have the LNB's mounted to the dish arm.

If the center LNB (first one centered on the arm) is for 119 then yes, but if the yoke holds the LNB's on each side of the mounting arm, (like on the Dish 500) then you will have to be pointing in between the two satellites.

And depending on the location, the 110 LNB can be below the 119 LNB, it is like that here, 119 is my due south satellite, so it is a bit higher then the 110 LNB, (my skew is 85 degrees, 5 degrees below 90 degrees, or 0 skew) but if you live in the East, then 110 will/could be higher the 119. (Skew higher then 90 degrees, 95( +5) or 100 (+10))
