The following Photographs are part of my Dishnetwork Showroom Setup...

The reason why im using seperate Dishes for 119 and 110 is because the 110 Dish was mounted im anticipation of Echostar 4 arriving at the 110 Orbital Position. Believe it or not, this Dish was pointed back in June of 1999 before there was any satellite at the 110. I simply used a magic and marked off the 119 satellite on the mast and did the same thing for Directv at 101. From there, I set the Dish to the middle of the two marks and managed to get a 60% signal the second Echostar 4 was put online. I first got a signal on this satellite on July 16th, 1999 at 11:37 Am EST. I believe I was one of the first one people to have 110 up and running that Day.

The Picture of the Dish on the Right is from my Antenna farm on the roof. Notice the how the Dish looks like its pointing towards the ground with the 10 Degree Look Angle. When Echostar 4 was moved from 148 to 110, Instead of re-pointing the Dish to 110, I thought it would be better to leave it alone and wait to see what the signal strengh would look like when Echostar put another satellite back at 148. As you can see in the picture in the right, Im getting an excellent signal from Echostar1 in Detroit Michigan! BTW, the picture on the right was taken on Friday December 22nd.
