help locking onto a Dish Network satellite

[JSK76]

I decided to put a satellite on my wheel house this year, and have had no luck getting a satellite locked in. I had a hard time in the yard this fall but after a few night after work I did get it, but now out on the lake nothing at all, 0 out of 100. Everything is level and set to what it needs to be set at.

I start by going to sat. 110 on the receiver and then I slowly turn the dish from the west to 202 degrees south. I have an in-line signal finder, and the thing will show I'm up to 9 out of 10 with the gain up around 1/4 way, but the point dish screen, on the TV shows it hasn't even picked up any signal yet.

I did get satellite 91 to about 25% by accident once, so I know I have a good connection. The dish is a dual LNB and when I was in my yard this fall I could get the 119 channels fairly easy, it was the 110 channels I had a hard time with.

if you set the skew for 105-108 and use a compass you should get something i always get 110 first and 119 is just 2 degrees to the right and down a click on the scale on the mounting bracket,also make sure that your mounting bracket is level good luck when i set up my dish i use my mother in law and she yells nothing yet

Go to radio shack and get a sat finder signal meter. I believe they are about 30 bucks. It is more sensative than the reciever so you can start to pick up the sat from further away. Makes it alot easier.

108 degrees and 32 1/2 skew with a level mount. Then just rotate till you pick up signal 119 on the meter, should be facing south west. Once you get the 119 signal just tweak it and you will get 110 sat in.
