Today I was putting up both 18" RCA Dishes with DS4221RE receivers. Set the setup for Oval /2 Sat. Went I put up the first one (sat 119) 3min into installing it the signal was peaking at 98 & 99. When I went to install the second (Sat 101)I accidently hit one sat with the other which made the first sat loose the complete signal. After I spent hours trying to get the lost signal and nothing,(0), Zero, Cero!! I said "What the hell happend?". I have double checked the connections and re-runned the whole speal over & over but nothing. Another strange thing was that I said "f*!#@%" it. I'm going to set the 101 sat. 20min later it was giving me a 80% signal peak. I tried to move it to gain my extra 20% were ever I moved it, it would still give me 80%. If I moved the dawm thing across the other side of the sky it would still give me 80%. I said "What the hell is wrong with this shix!!!
Said "it's time to put this crap down and go ask questions.
Does anybody know what is going on or if it ever happend to you before?

Pull off the first dish a re-check plum (level) the bump could have knock it slightly off.
also you said Oval 2 sat (locals right).
Just get a plus dish and a 4x4 muilti switch.
To eliminate the 2 dishes.

Thanks Mcguiver, I'm at work but I'll be sure to do this today when I get home. By the way I have two round 18" one at 101 & the other at 119 sat. 119 is going to "para todos sat" and of course the locals.
I will be using a 22khz unit two bring 101 & 119 together on one line. One receiver is a DR4221RE & the other is a 440 plus which is going to the 119.

I got the 101 at 91% which Im not going to mess with it anymore.
Can someone tell me the tilt, azimuth, etc on the 119 with the zip code of 32824.

Thanks
