Hi,
noob here. I recently moved my dish from LA to South Orange County in Cali. I've adjusted the skew and elevation to the new location. Now, in the process of pointing the dish on my balcony (faces south, but trees on the left side), and all I get is "Bell ExpressVu 91 wrong satellite" on my DN 301 receiver. I do the check switch and only get 'no switch detected', but this use to be ok w/ my previous installation. Any ideas? Thanks

check your switch to make sure that it is connected properly and getting power

Should the switch be ok, since I'm picking up the BEV 91 bird? Also my dish was working fine in LA, and i didn't touch the switch at all while moving it to my new apt.

If you get Bev 91º, you are pointed too far east. For 110º / 119º you need
Azimuth = 160º, Elevation = 50º, Skew = 85º (real close, do not know your real zip code) If using D##h Pro 500.
