Ready To GIve Up...

Well, I'm about ready to throw in the towel. If there was a local installer, I'd gladly pay him/her.. Been at this since summer and it is not going well at all..

Here are today's pics:

I tore the entire assembly apart and reassembled it by the book. I set dish elevation to 38-39 and it does absolutely nothing. It gets NO Sats at all until I raise dish to over 50 and will only track 2 at a time near 60...

Something is wrong. I have 2 LNB's, 2 Reveivers, and 300' of coax (that I keep switching thinking in error one of these must be bad)...

In the pics, the dish elevation is set (as u can see) at about 39 degrees. Does the dish look low???? The protractor I am holding only reads 15-16 degrees. Not sure I'm even using it correctly..

I'm open to any and all ideas. The dish is the only thing I don't have 2 of. Should I order another one of them??????
