Came home tonight to find I have no signal on 119. This morning there were no problems. I have 70-90's signal strength on the 110 sat. Any suggestions on what steps I should do to troubleshoot this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Did a check switch and it states that there are less satellites than previously. It said to hit save for this new configuration or cancel to return to previous configuration.
I just swapped the coax at my lnb and at my switch (DP34 I believe) and I now have 119 but no 110. Would I be correct that I have a cable problem?
I swapped at the lnb only and got a switch error message. I then swapped at the switch and got 119 but no 110 (just the opposite of last night).
I should've asked this before posting anything else.
What's your equipment configuration? LNBs, switches and receiver. You could see what you have in the check switch screen. Sounds like you have a DPP Twin but we need more info.

I have a DPP Twin LNB and a DP34 switch (Separate wing Dish 500 for 61.5). Three receivers - Vip 622, and two older DVR's (not sure of the models).
Thanks. Can the other receivers see 119 or 110 at the same time? Try 119 on port 1 and 110 on port 2 on the DP34 switch and run check switch on the receivers. If 119 fails on port 1 try it on port 3 where the 61.5 cable is and run check switch. If 119 shows on port 3 then you have a bad port 1.
Another test you could run is to disconnect one of the cables coming from the DPP Twin and using a barrel connector connect it directly to the 622 and run check switch. If both 119 and 110 work, you have a bad switch.
Turned out to be a bad coax. Replaced cable and all is back to normal.
Thanks for everyone's input.:up

I was going to say it was a bad coax. As soon as you said you swapped both ends and lost the other bird, I was going to suggest you had basically put the other bird on the bad wire.
