3. The recommended dish elevation is 38.5.

This has been a very frustrating project to say the least, I have 48 hours invested just trying to hit one bird

Crazy stuff. What else could I be doing wrong here?
You never said whether you set your LNB LO to the universal type, like satnutwillb said earlier. Since you are now trying to find one transponder, you need to be sure you have your LO freqs (the universals have 2 freqs). When you do a blind scan, it will still find channels if you have the LO set wrong, but if you're trying to find a single transponder like you're doing now, you need to have that set right.
