Hi,I recently purchased a VS extreme on 18" dish. Working great on 91w but when switched to 110w, both signal and quality signal bars fluctuate up and down any where from 30% to 87% and keep flasing in red, no matter how I adjust the dish. If it is completely off then quality signal will go to 0% but as soon as signal goes up again, it will do the same thing.
Help !

If you want 110 yo need to point your dish to 110
If yo point 18" to 91 yo'll get only 91/82 at best. with 2 LNBs or 1-Twin LNB.
The only way to get 91 and 110 is 24" DTV phase II or Phase III pointed to 101 and scewed very carefully.
one coax wire to each receiver and up to 4 receivers.

With DTV Phase II it has 2 LNBs one for each Sat.
For more info on Phase II and Phase III click here:

I do have an error I'm aware of. I can't edited out.
Phase II Picture shows 110/119 but it actually is 101/119.
It can be used to get 91/110 which is 18 or 19 degrees apart
Or 61.5/82 with a skilled installer
That's it 1-BEV, 1-DN

I already pointed the dish to 110w and I know it is in the right spot because the quality signal goes from 0 to 87% but it is in red color and will not stop flashing.

If it is flashing that is not good
Sometimes it does that thinking you lost connection
Do Sat Chan Scan F1

If that doesn't help it means wrong angle location or elevation, skew etc.
Wiring, DISEqC switch settings etc.

It is a setup issue
In antenna setup select:
- Satellite orbit location # (i.e. 110)
- assign LNB to DISEqC port
- Do F1 Scan
