The Elevation of 91W is higher than 119.

Stand behind the dish, you have move the dish to the right to get 119.

Check your Az is it true Az or compass Az.
You have to adjust to Compass Az.

Good luck.

For 119W from Toronto

El: 26.1
Az: 240 Compass reading

This is the correct angle.

Good Luck

Do you have a linear LNBf or a circular? Most likely a circular so try 148W or 61.5W - both international -

so if your behind your dish you will move the scew down to 71, 72 so your lnb will be at the right side- angled
