The arm should be perpendicular to the dish face.

Just checked my signal strengths, if I'm doing it correctly.
129 = 47
119 = 56
110 = 55
Had my dish moved because of trees and now my HD changes to SD any time it rains?
 
Looks like it's bent and no, it doesn't look correct.

Mine isn't bent and my signals aren't that good, especially on 129.

The signals vary from transponder to transponder so unless you specify what transponder the readings you're posting came from it's impossible to accurately compare.

Do I need to check all transponders?

It wouldn't hurt but you could just specify what transponder numbers the signals you're posting come from so others on the western arc could tell you what they're getting on the same transponders.

You're in Ohio, using the Check Switch Screen on your receiver, Transponder 21 on all three sats, you want to see the 110 and 119 in the 70's and the 129 in the mid to high 50's, and yes, your feed arm looks bent

Looks bent. But it’s been so long since I did DISH I can’t tell you what a good signal should be.

I know if this was Directv it would not be working on 99/103

Mine are far from that good. Phoned Dish to come back out to try again.
