Here's your problem, well one of them anyways...

You are trying to find a C-band transponder using a KU band dish. The KU band transponders start at 11,780 MHz for G3C. Check out lyngsat here...---> http://www.lyngsat.com/g3c.html

Try setting the receiver to a KU band transponder and go from there. Other members have posted that they have trouble aligning the dish using the Twinhan card. You may be better off borrowing a FTA receiver from someone and use that to align the dish.

Also, the "trees" worry me a bit. Just because your DTV dish had no problems, remember that it was stationary. Now that you are setting up a motor the dish must have a much wider "view" to the satellites.

Also, disable the DiSEqC switch; you don't use one if you are using a motor.
