Post Nothing found

Okay...nothing found yet. For clarification, I do have the receiver and a small TV out next to the dish. When I move the dish, I would be able to see any slight pickup in signal...as Rainman said, I have a good signal meter on this receiver.

I have the lnbf type set to SINGLE...appears to also work with UNIVERSAL. How do I know? When it's on these, I get 88-90% reading on signal meter, when it's on some other lnbf type there is no reading at all (never get quality reading to go up ever).
I have the LO freq inbf set to 10.750 which matches the freq for this lnbf (it's the KU01 or something from Sadoun). I am at longitude 120.4 degrees, so my true South SAT would be 121.0W Echostar9. I have moved the dish all over the place and not finding it.
NOTE: One thing I noticed about this Coolsat. It doesn't matter what SAT settings page I am on...if it picks up a signal from any SAT, it will give me a meter read and at the top right corner, it will tell me the name of the SAT. I saw this cool feature when using the 18in dish. I thought I was pointing that dish to 110, and instead it told me I found 119. This is why I am puzzled I am not stumbling across other SAT signals by accident. Any ideas are appreciated at this point. I'd hate to pay a pro to do it as getting there is half the fun. I'll await any ideas from the forum...any idea great or small is appreciated.
