I have a dpp eastern arc for 61.5 and 72.7. For some reason I can't get 72.7 anywhere I point it but 61.5 on the 72.7 eye on the lnbf. Even when I set skew, Elavation, and even azimuth it's still 61.5 and no 72.7. Can you help me?

The shaft going down into you bucket has to be 100% plumb...

From behind the dish, 61.5 comes from the left and should be reflected to the right lnb.
If it is on the left lnb cover the left one with aluminum foil and move the azimuth 8-10 degrees left.
Skew must be set to book value for your zip code.
Only tweak azimuth and elevation to get highest reading of 61.5 on the right lnb.
remove foil from left lnb and tweak both az and el compromising the setting for best signal across both lnbs.
If you can't find 61.5 on the right lnb, you may have a bad lnb.

If the 72.7 is reporting as the 61.5, you are too high and too far to the right. I never use the 72.7 to point an Eastern Arc, always the 61.5, verify it, then peak the 72.7
 

Well this was weird.

Best and worst
