The satellite name does not matter to the receiver. It does not know the names -- it only identifies the satellites by the transponder data; frequency, polarity and symbol rate. So determine which satellite you want, then get its real name (from www.lyngsat.com ) , make sure the transponder data corresponds with the data in lyngsat and then set the receiver to an active transponder and align the dish. Finally, do a satellite search and download the channels. If you have a tree problem then first you must either relocate the dish or remove the tree. Remember that as you move the dish further west, the elevation drops (for your area) so trees become a big problem for the satellites located in the most western slots.
