Just bought a Digital Satillite Receiver VS2000 Platinum and was told I could receive all channels on 110 and 119. I have a good signal (in the green) for 110 but for 119 I get good signal (but in the red). What am I doing wrong, shouldn't I at least get something from the 110? Is this a good receiver or did I get burned. Thanks for any information.

The receiver is an excellent receiver with no problems whatsoever. It is all to do with your setup. Check the frequency setup in the menu and it should set at 11250. Also make sure that your dish is alinged perfectly. 119 is a little hard to catch but not impossible. Fin 110 first and once you have everything on 110, then put another LNB right to the left hand side of it standing behind the dish. You should be good to go then. It is all to do with your setup and dish alinging and nothing else.
These FTA receivers are amazing lil toys. Using a dtv dish and an extra lnb can get you the 110 & 119 sats and consequently 457 FREE channels. I have done this myself and it's so easy, I can't believe they make dish's with skew adjustments. I literally use rubber bands or hair ties to strap an lnb to the existing lnb and get 2 birds very quickly. I will be attaching photos and it's just as easy as it looks. Standing behind your dtv dish thats already pointed at 101, simply turn it to the right a little and drop the elevation about 10%. This is where the 110 sat is. You can use your dtv receiver to find the 110 by going into dish pointing menu and selecting one of these transponders 8, 10 or 12. When you find the 110 you will hear the signal meter rise and you can then fine tune it. Attach an extra lnb to the right (facing the dish) by using rubber bands or hair ties or wire ties, about 2 1/2 " above the other existing lnb (see photo) Attach the cable from it to the dtv receiver and in dish pointing change the transponder to one of these 23, 25, 29 and you'll probably aready have some signal, slide it up or down, keeping it flush with the other. Once she's dialed in epoxy or super glue to the original lnb. This is soo easy! When done you now have a single existing dtv dish that will pull 457 channels for your NEW FTA receiver!
Hint: I also use wire tie or string around the lnb horns to draw them together and focus on center=better quality
