It is very difficult to lock on a satellite using your BL2030 pci card. It is not sensitive enough. You will need a DVB receiver or analog receiver if you have one.

Dish elevation scale on the dish is accurate to +/- 1 degrees roughly.

DirecTV signal is 4 time stronger than T5. With a 90cm dish, of course you will be able to lock on it even with your eyes closed.

~ Also, make sure your LNBF type is setup correctly on your PCI card (i.e. LO frequency).
~ The LNBF should have a small tilt to the right or left depending on your location.
~ The LNBF should not be pushed all the way in towards the dish. It should be all the way out away from the dish.
~ If your LNBF has a high noise ration (over 0.70 dbs) it make it more difficult to lock.
