Ok Sunshine have you moved anything yet? It was a preset system before it was moved. The first pic shows declination setting. Your second pic is elevation. Put your angle finder on the top of the square tube in the top of the pic. Now remember what way you are going. You may be subtracting 90 from your finder due to direction it is pointed. You want the dish at it's peak position in movement which is when the dish mount brackets are aligned straight with the mount brackets. Clear as mud There is a bracket that is mounted on the rear of the dish that can be removed with the dish from the mount bracket with 2 bolts (pivot points). At the same time but not required at this point ideally your actuator would be halfway extended.

Rainman or someone can chime in with a site that gives specific readings for your location. I do not have it handy. Set your elevation per as well as declination. Now gently move the entire assembly on the pole until you find signal. Once you find signal scan it is and determine what sat it is based on channels received. We will adjust from there.
