KEN NOT TRUE.THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 110 AND 119 ARE 9 DEGREES. IF YOU HAVE A THREE PHASE DISH TYPE FROM DTV YOU CAN ONLY GET EITHER 110 OR 119 NOT BOTH .YOU NEED TO GET A DISH PRO DUAL LNB OR A DISH PRO SINGLE LNB BUT 2 OF THEM.

Well what kind of a dish do yo have?

If yo have an old DTV phase-3
Yo can get 91 and 110
Yes yo can add 1 LNB and get 119 all the way on the right hand side very difficult but possible there is a certain technique to follow to get it

But without knowing what kind of dish and LNBs
With a dish 500 and two or twin LNB yo can get 110/119

I don't think 119 is blocked by another building make any sense to me I think he simply didn't point it correctly

the guy installed my dish said 110 is being blocked by the chimney .. i don't know ..

so if I add another lnb to my dish to get 110 .. which side do i add on left or right ? do i need to move the dish ?

Looking in front of dish
110 on left 119 on right

Yo must skew dish
Goto http://satcalculator.freehostia.com/
- Select dual satellite
- pick 110 as sat 1 (echo 8/10 from drop box)
- pick 119 as sat 2 (echo 7 from drop box)
- select zip code

Yo'll get 3 angles
- Amith angle
- Elevation angle
- Skew angle

Apply to installation
Come back and let me know how it worked

$5 compass from walmart or radio shack
Yo calculate Azmith
Close enough and micro-adjust using your receiver

Also some GPS navigators can give angle as well
If yo have or a friend can loan it to yo

Another way
Look at your neighbor if got DN or even DTV
Aim to same angle position
