I am in central Oklahoma using a DP311 receiver, Dish 500, with a DPP twin LNB while working on oil well drilling sites. While trying to access satellite 110 for local stations while on a site in SE Oklahoma, I messed something up. My receiver is now searching for satellites 129 & 119 instead of 110 and 119 as it is supposed to, and I cannot see a way to change satellite 129 back to satellite 110. If I manually try to point the dish for satellite 110, I can get no results or signal strength at all. I have not tried resetting to factory defaults as I am afraid I will screw something else up. Does anyone have any suggestions RE how to get my receiver to look for satellite 110 again?

If the receiver is trying to get 129, you are off on your pointing. Try lowering dish and point about 9 degrees to the left.
I'm confused. The receiver is LOOKING for 129 & 119, or 129 & 119 is what's coming up (and showing 'wrong sat')? If the latter, you need to move the dish to the left (east).
Go in and perform a switch check with no coax attached, this will clear the switch matrix. You or the receiver has performed a switch check with the dish aimed to low. Raise the dish just a bit and move back to the east 9 degrees.
Thanks SO much... you were exactly right RE what was wrong, how it happened, and how to fix it... FINALLY back in business... your help was much appreciated
