Default Trouble with Q & S

I'm setting up a person's satellite dish and have come across a Quality and Signal problem I can't figure out. The person has a triple lnb and we have it pointed correctly but when I go to the dish setup I can either get a perfect 100 on the Quality meter but a 0 on the Strengh meter or a 60 - 70 on the Strength but 0 on the Quality and have run out of ideas and was curious if anyone else has had this problem and knows what I might be doing wrong.

Well I am getting channels coming in but not all of them. I have it set up as a legacy twin A the same as mine. Both his and mine have no markings at all either on the lnb's or the dish.

Actually I'm thinking now that maybe I have it set up alright now because I see on mine I am actually not getting any signal on a few channels either. I'm thinking maybe there has been a tp change or something like that. He has a sv 8000 the exact same as me. He bought his setup from the same person as I did so I set his dish up the same as mine.
