Dish Pro Plus 500 only seeing 119

[JimmyKit]

I just installed a dish pro plus 500 dish and twin LN B and i pointed it in the correct azimuth and elevation and skew and was able to get 75% signal strength on the 119 satellite. When I went to the TV, I notice i was missing some channels that are on the 110 and when I went to the dish pointing screen there was no signal on the 110 lnb. what can I try to fix this. It was a birthday gift for my Dad because he wanted the outdoor sports package and he can see the Outdoor channel, World Fishing network and can also see Pursuit channel but THE Sportsman channel gets a blue no signal screen and then the recover goes to a snowy screen and shuts off. Thank you in advance for your help

Your dish is not aimed correctly go back and reread the instructions and check the work you did. Most common problems is mast isn't true(level) or you are picking up 119 on the 110 LNB.

Run check switch and report back the order the sats are listed.......if you see xx first than 119 in the second slot, you are not aimed correctly....if 119 first, than xx second you may have something blocking the 110 signal.....

sound like you are using a FTA receiver with possibly CS......got the wrong forum if that is indeed the case.....

Sounds like you are using Dish Pro on a FTA receiver. If you are you are mixing different technology and it will probably not work.
