The only thing i can see is the dish skew is incorrect.

Use it for set it

Try another port on switch

also , don't use the first transponder to lock signal as it is not a conus (CONtinental United States) beam

Guys...i seem to be in need of further assistance...as it turns out i seemt to have had everything pointed correctly, but still no 119...i decided to check each LNB by conecting it directly to the box...now the 1 inthe centre (110 diseqc 1) said 32% quality and no signal eventhough it was working 2 days ago...i unplugged it, plugged the one to the left of it (119 diseqc 2)..and that one does have signal but only for the 110`s..i dont know what im doing wrong or if that one LNB is busted...can anyone confirm or let me know how i can see if the LNB took a dump?...thanks

I am seeing the same problem.

119 was working fine last nite and now when i goto MENU, Echo 7 shows pointing to Echo 10,11 110.

My DiSEqc is right coz i didnt change that. TP Fred is 12224 and LNG Freq is 11250. I have DP34 switch.

your problem can be puff file, try factory default and load all files you need for your box, it happen on many box.
