Try downloading progfinder to help you locate satelittes. Make sure you are selecting an active transponder (the one that has porgramming on it all the time). Make sure you give it 5-10+ second each time you move your dish for the program to try and lock in on it.

Don't pay too much attention to the signal strength (it will give signal strength even if you are pointing to the ground).

First time is always the toughest, but after that it gets easier.
