..and 110 signal quality is constantly at zero.

Im using a dishpro LNB on a dish500 and I get about 70 on the signal meter on 110/119. When setting up 119, the Quality meter goes up to about 80 and then all the way down to 0 a couple of times a second so its practically blinking, 0 to 80. When searching for 110 the quality is zero and stays at zero. My antenna setup is as follows:

119
LNB Power: on
LNB Type:-OCS-DP
LnB Freq: 11250
22 KHZ: off
Tp Freq: 12224
Diseqc 1.0: Port 1
Motor: off
Legacy SW: None

110
LNB Power: on
LNB Type:-OCS-DP
LnB Freq: 11250
22 KHZ: off
Tp Freq: 12224
Diseqc 1.0: Port 2
Motor: off
Legacy SW: None


however, if i switch 110 DisqESC to PORT 2 i get a similar quality reading to 119 (it blinks while jumping from 0 to 80 rapidly).. whats wrong? i can only assume two things:

1) i checked the mast with a bubble level and found that my dad didnt mount the mast PERFECTLY level.. on one side its vertical but the opposite side is a little off. do i need to re-mount?

2) i bought the dish 500 and DP LNB used... so maybe the LNB could be bad??

hopefully number 1 or 2 is the culprit and that's it... anyoen have any ideas??

That happened to me before too,Solved it by reflashing the latest bin using serial port/cable.

I do believe or guess there is something between Twin DP LNBs, some VuSat bins, and 118.75 interfering with 119. flashing and/or freezing
Especially when performing blind scan.

If you are not an expert installer don't do blind scan "F2".
Just do Chan Sat Scan "F1" you'll get most of the channels from preset Transponders.
