Help with peaking portable dish

[hazmat626]

I hope I can explain this. I'm trying to set up a portable dish for my rv. I'ts a Dish Pro and a 510 Receiver. I set my dish up with the coordinates for zip code 77422. The only satellite I pick up is 129. The mast is plumb and level. Also after running a check switch I get an error message advising to check connections. I'm stumped!

What satellites are you looking for. Swing the dish east for 110/119.

I'm trying to find 110 and 119. I've turned the dish till I'm blue in the face.

turn it left and raise the elevation.

Don't use the face of the dish when pointing the dish towards the azimuth. Point it in a line parallel to the two angle brackets on back of the dish that have the elevation angles stamped on them. This site might help http://mysite.verizon.net/res114068/id2.html
