I assume no motor, but just poitint the dish at the bird...
I used los angels as the starting spot on
Sadouns calculator page:

The elevation for the dish (up and down movement) will be about 40 degrees.
The azimuth is calculating by taking the raw number given (137.4) and SUBTRACTING your magnetic deviation number (it seems as though its 14 for your town) from that raw number, so with a good COMPASS line up the LNB arm of the dish to 123.4 (the "side to side" movement).
You will also need to "twist" the LNB to the left so the bottom (where the cable comes out) is at 8:00 o'clock on an imaginary clock positon as you LOOK AT THE DISH from the perspective of the satellite looking DOWN at the dish (not from behind looking up.)
These steps should get you close. Have a small Tv connected near the dish, adjust for best signal once you adjust the above locations in small increments till you find the some quality reading on the antenna setup scrren.
Make sure you are tuning with an "active" transponder to observie a reading. I have no idea what they are on that sat.
Also, I think this sat requires a "Circlular" LNB so the skew wont matter too much...
Good luck.
