Also, the loud buzz from the signal meter isn't by itself what you listen for. It will buzz even if not aimed at a sat. Tune the meter half scale, and while moving the dish, listen for the pitch to increase and the meter to go higher when you get near a sat. Once you've peaked it, you still might not be on the right sat, so you have to do a scan to verify what sat you are on.
