No, if you're picking up 91W, your dish isn't pointed correctly. You need to move it to the west. You can get the pointing correction at dishpointer.com. Be sure to select the 119 and 110 dish from the drop down and use tp 12197 for 119 signal.

Nothing wrong with your dish you need to move it a little to the west and lower to find 110-119, the elevation of the sats. drop down as you go west and go up as you go east,your port settings should be port 1-119, port 2-110, 12297 TP Freq. should work for both as far as setup, if I'm remembering correctly. You will probably also have to adjust the skew(clockwise, counterclockwise) to tweak the dish for best signal.

If you enter your location on dishpointer, you will see a satellite photo of your house. Move the pin to where your dish is located. That will give you a sight line that you can use local landmarks to help you point the dish.
