Dish Network - Dish 500 Satellite 110 is not... (by 2 users)

I brought my Dish Network receiver down from my cottage to use at my primary residence. My neighbor gave me a Dish 500 satellite dish to use so I didn't have to bring my dish home from the cottage. After installing and aiming the dish, I'm getting a strong signal from 119 but for some reason satellite 110 is not being recognized on my system. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Both satellite locations, 119 and 110 worked perfectly at my cottage. I couldn't find the Dish Network 500 system listed under the "Product" area. Thanks, Lonnie

I have the same problem.

Had to move to my camper waiting for house to be completed. Have used Sat dish with no problem when camping in the past. Use dish 500 and model 311 receiver. Receiver locks into 119 and 129 sat. We should receive 119 and 110 sat only. Cannot get 110 to lock in even though there is a 50+ signal. 129 locks in in the 40's and 119 in the 60's. Need 110 for our local channels.

Lonnie, You have a simple problem,the 119 satellite is lower in the sky than the 119 if you make sure the pole you are mounted on is straight and plum ,then simply raise the dish a few elevation degrees and turn the dish to the left.Your dish is aimed low and to the right.

Sorry,I meant the 119 satellite in the sky is lower in than the 110.There is a great tutorial at satellitescoop.com called how to align a satellite dish.

Make sure the sat is aimed the right way. I have a dish 500 sat and it is aimed at the south.
