OK, WHere Am I going Wrong..

I'm up and working, but quite sure it is not tracking correctly. In my case, it does appear the problem is the dish elevation. My mast is level and I am lined up with the compass at 189 - motor ele is set to 41 deg (my zip is 15012)....

The 38.8 dish ele (31" with HH90) gives me no results... Currently I have it at 56-58 and get part of the band.. if I lower it to 45 I get another part..... and somewhere else, I get another part...

I tried here (I have lots of trees) and at my Dad's house (no Trees), same result. So I am trying it on the roof of a friend's old garage (same prob). I'm sure it is an alignment prob now (I did have a bad receiver that through me a loop but I replaced it and all is well)....

In an earlier post, Some suggested I have the thing put together wrong (Maybe).. Here are a few pics taken yesterday from the garage. Notice the high elevation setting. At the moment these pics were taken, we were watching KUIL on AMC4 at 58% signal (which is about the BESt I ever got!)
