I put the Nashville zip onto dish pointer and got your exact numbers.
Check the mast of the dish and make sure it is exactly vertical.
Also cover the 110 lnb and be sure you are receiveing 119 on the 119 lnb and not on the 110 lnb.
If that is the case, turn the dish 10-12 degrees east and drop the elevation back to 38.

ok, guys thanks for all ya's help, i am going try to fix it as soon as it warms up, i think my biggest problem is that i mounted it an overhang on an old house and it moves way to much. so i am going mount it to the roof and try again. hopefully just moving it a bit and tweaking it will fix it.
