OK I am going over to another direction here. You keep hitting circular sats. Unhook all switches and run a line from a L port of the lnbf to the motor and one from the motor to the receiver. Now point the dish as close as you think to true south. Setup your lat and long in the receiver and tell the receiver to go to your true south sat. Now work with east west adjustment in an attempt to find signal. Once you find signal strong enough to scan do a blind scan and see where you actually are. Mark the pole and adjust accordingly. In other words if you are east of 87 move the assembly west a bit and repeak using dish elevation.

Until you are lined up on true south most everything else is just "treading water". Spending a lot of time but not getting anywhere. Be sure your receiver is set for none on DiSEqC port (although that really does not matter) and you are set for 10750 or standard for lnbf type.
