Help with 119 signal

[arcadian9]

im trying to add 119 signal and i currently have a 18 dish with 1 LNB getting 110 and i want to add 119...i tried doing it and im gettin 0 as Q and 70ish as S
i have a bracket thats holding both LNBs..****n someone give me some suggestions on what i can do??? like should i move the LNB or should i move the satellite??
im scaried of moving the satellite because i dont want to screw up the 110

try to find 119 first, until you have good signal & quality then skew for 110. Skew clockwise for Westcoat and counter clock for Eastcoat. As soon as you hit 119, 110 will be right there.

[arcadian9]

so you suggest that move the dish to get 119 first then when i do get 119 i should get 110??
but im afraid if i move it i wont find any signals cause i never done this before its my first time =S

First time for everything, right? ok follow my step and you should be fine. Stand behind the dish, 119 is going to be on left handside and 110 is on the right handside. Now move your dish slowly to the left, until you have a good signal & quality then skew for 110

Good luck

hey grasshopper
still no luck =(...i moved the elevation from 31 to 28 degrees and still no luck
my 110 is gone tooo until i move it back to 31
i spend 3hours today doing this and its from fustrating =(

i also have another problem
i installed a new receiver captive works 600s preimum and basically i have 2 dishs, 1 has 2 LNBs (82 and 91) and the other has 1 LNB (110), all are dual LNBs...i have 2 disequ switches 1 goes to the viewsat ultra and the other goes to the captive works....i hooked up all the wires and when i turn on both receivers the 82 on the viewsat is at Q 32 and the captive works is at 60...when i turn the captive works off the viewsat for 82 goes up to Q 60...wth is going on here??
how come this is happening

You shouldn't touch the elevation at all, just move the dish to the left little bit, until you find 119, then skew to find 110. you will have a lot of patient for the first time doing it, but you will get it done.

Unhook one receiver and setup the other first. once you have good signal & quality then setup the second one. remember to power off before you connect or disconnect the cable line

[arcadian9]

but i already plugged all the wires into the switch and everything is setup....just the same quality with 82...you suggest that i unhook everything and then hook each receiver 1 at a time??
whats the problem?? is it because the signal is shared?
i cant move the dish its all screwed in and what do you mean by skew ??
sorry for all the questions im a new to this =S

ok - what kind of dish,LNB, switch are you using?

[arcadian9]

my dish says "FTA Dish" and its a 18inch circle dish, im using a dual LNB and am using 2 4in1 disequ switch...one is a viewsat one and the other is this: Chieta 4x1 Diseqc Switch Model WSD- 41C

You may need to get a dish 500? I could be wrong though. Is there a skew adjustment on your dish. When I learned and set mine up with a dish 500 here's what I did. I ran the cable straight from my stb to my dish and found the 119 sat. Then I marked all the brakets with a marker for referance points. then I scaned the 119. After that was done I hooked up the 110 lnb straight to my stb. 119 and 110 are very very close, so it was just a skew adjustment. when I had that locked in I marked that also with a marker. Then I scaned that sat. After that I hooked up both cables and the switch. I was good to go from there, but you may need to fine tune the dish a little, but now you have referance points marked down in marker.
Always turn your stb off before you hook the switch up. or you stand a chance of shorting them out!!! I learned that the hard way when I first started. Hope this helps

ok i think i've given up...i moved the dammmmmmmm satellite up and down, left and right and still no freakin signal for 119...is it because i still have the 119 on the bracket with the 110??
should i take the 119 off the bracket and put it itself with the dish and move it around??

I had the same problem and fix it by putting 22Khz to ON.
I suppose the new bin changed this value.
I hope this will be your problem too.
