I have a dish 500 with dish pro lnb , i can only get 110 or 119 at a time . I have a sw21 switch ,could it be bad ?

Take out the switch, the dish should have a built in one I believe.

With switch out i still only get 1 sat . I am watching 110 now .119 channels say singal is weak .

Try slight adjustments on the skew and/or small slow left and right movements of the dish and peak the signal. Keep in mind you still have to tell the receiver what sat is on what port.

My quality is 91 and strength is 100

you need to twist the dish perpendicularly. Watch your signal, you'll get both. After you might need to pan just a smidgeon to get both at full quality

I don't want to sound dumb but perpendicular to what ?

which lnb(s) do you have (twin/quad or 2 dual lnb's) and what are your settings on your stb.
are you able to watch programs on both 110 and 119 w/o adj. your dish?
go to dishpointer.com and check your dish coordinates with the values given on the site

I have a dish pro twin lnb
transponder 12224
lnb freq 11250
lnb type ocs-dp
22khz auto
diseqc none
legacy switch off
i can watch sat 110 or change sides of lnb and watch sat 119 without moving dish.

For 119 Change DiSEqC Switch to Port 1 or LNB 1

For 110 Change DiSEqC switch to Port 2 0r LNB2

**VGiddy** · April 18th, 2009

For 119 Use DiSEqC Switch -Port 1 or LNB 1 and Transponder 12239.

For 110 use DiSEqC switch - Port 2 or LNB 2 and Transponder 12224.

That will give you both sats with one cable from the Dish Pro LNB.

when using the twin lnb the sw21 switch isnt really needed...it is internally switched
