Good idea, re laptop. I've been doing the same thing with another similar VNC program, although I can't control my dish with it, since it's a big 10' dish. But it makes running the Twinhan card remotely easy.
Looks like your angles are OK, provided that you have the motor angle close to your latitude. Looks like your LNB is a standard, so make sure you have a 10750 LO freq set in the software.
You didn't say, but it looks also, like AMC9 is probably the sat you're looking for, and if you look at Lyngsat, http://www.lyngsat.com/amc9.html you will see that it is mainly network feeds, particularly if you are looking at one of the lower transponders. Those network feeds are not always there, ie they turn them on and off. For tuning purposes, I'd recommend looking at one of the HughesNet transponders shown at Lyngsat. You won't get any video off those transponders, but you should be able to lock the signal for tuning purposes.
And again, I'd recommend you pick up the THmover program from the DVBAPPS site. If you continue to use the Twinhan program, I seem to remember some versions of that software where it was important to hit Apply to get the signal meter going, and sometimes you had to change transponders and back to get it going again if it stopped. So if you don't see it changing try the apply button.
Also, depending on what version software, it may not have the proper transponders for that sat. Make sure they match in Freq/SR to what is shown in Lyngsat.

Sadoun has censored my signature for no good reason, which is annoying.
