After my install, these are the signal strengths my installer acquired. Should I leave well enough alone or try to get better?

(Dish 1000)
119 TP 11-107
119 TP 12-104
110 TP 11-93
110 TP 12-91

(Dish 300)
148 TP 16-86 (Locals)
 
Not knowing where you are and your surroundings and especially if you have no experience in aligning a dish I have to agree with goaliebob99. It might be best to leave it alone. However after a I had my install I had simular readings. At the time DishNetWork wouldn't just send me the dish and let me do my own install. After the installer left I re-peaked my dish and got 110&119 above 120 on both transponders 11&12.
 
Don't play with your dish unless you have a problem.

Your signal strength sounds OK but we need to know where you live and the model of receiver that your taking the number from.

Different receivers have different signal strength meters and you will get a different reading.
 
My reciever is a 625 DVR and I live in Abilene, TX.

NOTE: I did do a self-install and alignment once before, when I had DirecTV.
