Those of you who live there can you post what your signal strength is on both the 110 & 119 sats and the elevation for your location. I'm just trying to figure something out with my set-up. Is it possible to get both with a 20" Bell dish with 2 dual lnb's?

Am on East Coast using D**H 500 with Twin lnb - signal strength on transponder 11 on good day (no yesterday) is roughly 100 on 119 bird, and 75 on 110 bird.
Elevation? - we are on the water I am pointing into a neighbour's house.

Used skew etc for Boston, New Hamp same line from Texas....

It will depend where on the east coast you are , you will have no problems in say Yarmouth, compared to somewhere in Nfld.

I can't grab any more than a 50% on 119 and can't even find 110. I think the elevation may be too low. Close to Maine so there shouldn't have a problem.

Just reread post - forgot to mention I am also using 20" dish best advice is just aim to 119 first - you should be able to get 125% - with that alone. Then adjust skew for 110 - your 119 will drop and the moves have to be "tiny" - very slow and once you get 70% lock-in.
