What type LNB and or switches do you have, Legacy, DishPro?
What type receiver do you have?

If you have a Twin LNB and the 110 shows up first after a check switch, your azimuth is off by about 9 degrees.

Sounds like you might not be aimed at 119. Try to get 119 first.It can be a bitch to find it. The way I did it was to turn up the volume on my TV really loud so I could hear it homing in. Receiver is in Setup mode with the signal meter on the screen.
Turn dish off 110 towards where 119 should be.Play with elevation an skew. It's easy to go right past it.
