I purchased a slimline 5 lnb AU-9 directv dish off eBay. Looks to be in good condition. I have it installed on a plumb mast with a very clear view of the south. I have a Dish Network superpro dual lnb dish that I installed within about 10 feet of this dish. It has been working well for several years.
I have a DC12 Standard Def. Directv receiver and service. I am new to directv (have been using Dish for 5 years) so some of their new stuff is confusing to me. I've read all the forums and watched videos. I've tuned several dishes before, so I know the basics.
Here is my problems.
In the reciever setup, I'm choosing 5 lnb multi-sat. It asks if I have the 72.5 and 95 satellites installed. I choose yes, although i've tried the setup without them installed too.
After running the setup and tuning it, this is what I'm getting.

Why can't I get all the transponders on 101? I've tried covering up the outside two lnb's with tin foil leaving only the lnb directly in the center of the dish, which I believe is the 101 lnb. I thought maybe I was picking up the wrong satelllite. When I have the outside two lnbs covered, I can still hit the lower transponders on 101 easily.
Could my lnb be bad? I presume it could, but I figure its probably a tuning issue.
I have no problem hitting the higher number transponders on 101. I can't for the life of me get the lower transponders though.
What am I doing wrong? Can anyone tell anything from the signal strengths? The zip is 64801.
