What I usually do is preset the elevation as Michael suggests and then move the azimuth slowly and WAIT a few seconds between each move as most receivers take a moment or two to lock onto the signal. If, after moving the dish from due south to due west (assuming you are in the Eastern part of North America), you still cannot find signal and quality; adjust the elevation one degree up and try again -- repeat the procedure with elevation one degree down and keep trying until you get a lock. Make sure the mast is perfectly plumb as this will throw off the elevation if it is crooked.

Keep us informed.
