Alignment Question

If I dial 101 into the high 90s, do I need to make any other adjustments for 99 and 103? If so is it elevation or azmuth? Have moved this dish numerous times and never had this problem. Many of the channels in 200s aren't viewable on satellite and go to internet. Maybe I was just lucky before.  Any help much appreciated.

What are your signal readings on those satellites?  

The proper procedure is to start with peaking the 101º satellite and then "dither" the satellite azimuth and elevation to peak the 99 and 103º satellites.

Thanks litzdog911. I had 101 in High 90s. I think I found problem. No tilt adjustment on satellite.  Checked level and it was a bit side to side. Remounted it yesterday, but wind kicked up before I could realign it. Will try to dial in when cold front moves on and post results.
