I have a question about pointing my dish. I have a dish that has 3 spots for LNBs but I only have 2 LNBs. I have set it up to receive 110. What do I do to get the 119 now. Do I just move the skew or do I have to move the dish for the 119 signal. Could you please help a newbee. Thanks in advance.
A little confused. Sounds like you have a DirecTVPlus or Para Todos dish where the three LNBs are connected separately to the dish and wired to a 4x4 multi-switch on the back of the dish.
That being the case, as you stand behind the dish, the order is 119, 110 and 101 from left to right. If you already had an LNB in 101 and 110, you shouldn't need to realign the dish at all. Pop in the new 119 LNB, and make sure your 110 SATC kit is wired correctly.
Alternately, the best way to align these dishes is to peak 101 and make a pencil mark from the mast housing to the mast. Then peak 119 and make a similar pencil mark. Look at the two marks on the mast and split the difference.
