any suggestions

I am trying to set up my dish 500 dp and my sonicview 8000. I have a bird dog signal meter and it says I am locked in on 110 and 119, but when I try to do a channel scan my signal is strength 13 to 50 ( moves up and down when I change the transponders setting) and 0 Quality. What am I doing wrong?

scan 110w in at 12224
and scan 119w in at 12239

I'm not familiar with SV stb's but does it tell you on the antenna screen which sat your locked onto.,.,.,or is it just your meter that telling you that?

[longball]

its my meter

[deanluna]

there should be a spot on your antenna settup screen that tells you what you are pointed at.,.,sounds like your not quite locked on to the sat yet.

There is a graph bar in the Sat setup screen on the SV-8000. When you get locked onto 110 or 119, it will show that sat name in the upper right corner of the screen. Post your settings like this for your LNB...
