Notice they are about as far apart as 110W and 119W, 10 degrees vs. 9 degrees.

You will have to raise the dish about 7 to 8 elevations or thereabouts.

Then, you will just have to move the dish towards the East just a little, about 9 degrees if you look at it from the top. This is about 2 seconds on a clock. You can lay a stick down showing where the direction the dish is pointed now, and make the move towards the East the 9 degrees. You may have to then readjust the Elevation slightly there to get the Quality signal.

Do a Database Reset first.

Sight in 119W on TP 12239. The signal for 110W will be there.

Use these settings...
sat 119.0 W
freq 12239 MHz
LNB Power on
LNB Type OCS-DP
LNB freq 11250
LNB22 KHZ off
DiSEqC SW 1/off/off
legacy SW off

sat 110.0 W
freq 12224 MHz
LNB Power on
LNB Type OCS-DP
LNB freq 11250
LNB22 KHZ off
DiSEqC SW 2/off/off
legacy SW off

Once you get a signal on 119W, tweak the dish for the highest Quality signal by going back and forth subtly, and raising the and lowering the elevation subtly. Like I said the signal for 110W will be there once you find 119W.

Then you are ready to scan channels.

I would run a TV and receiver right out to the dish to do this.

Good Luck !!
Its funny, you said i was sighted on 119 and 129, but i only getting 110.
