boroda1 is on a distinguished road
Have you tried to aim your dish using Sun?

For example, tomorrow, if you aim your dish at Sun exactly at 12:41 PM CST, set motor declination to specs and play a little bit with Dish elevation, you should have a signal from IA-5. Also, make sure to set LNB type in receiver to match your actual LNB type.
For balcony, it would be easier to use sun as a guide instead of compass, because there might be too many metal objects.
