The red x tells you the signals are below DirecTV's specification. Your signals are not OK, they are too low - most of the 119 signals should be at or close to 100. Either your dish needs alignment or you have something blocking their path to the satellite. What are your 101 signals (all transponders). i

Your 101 signals are OK. It's possible your dish might be out of alignment in elevation but my guess is that you have trees or something blocking the line of sight between you and the 119 satellite. The only way to fix that would be to move the dish.

You really need a service call to find out and to fix. It will be free if you have the protection plan, $50 otherwise.

PLEASE< do not use bold print, you do not need to yell at us.

 

What programs do you think you receiving on the 119? Except for some international and music channels, all programing has been moved

to the 99,101,and 103 satelittes.
