Nope - you are not alone. Its not easy aligning a free-to-air dish for the first time. :?
The Bell ExpressVu LNB you tried the first time will work just fine for T5; I use nothing else but these (well; Aspen Eagle in a pinch) and always get a strong signal.
I assume you have LNB POWER turned ON in the SatCruiser setup.
The L.O. frequency is 10,750 MHz for this LNB.
The channels you mapped (PG8150) are not from T5; bear in mind that sometimes you will find 2 satellites have similar transponder datastreams and that can throw you for a loop - makes you think you are on T5 but in reality you hit a different bird.
When searching for T5 I always use the 12,152 transponder as it has a strong signal - good for finding the bird, then go to 12,177 or 12,090 to maximize signal strength and minimize cross-polarization.
With the ExpressVu LNB I find it best to position the LNB as far back as possible in the cradle (ie: maximum focal distance) and the rotation for my area (Toronto, Canada) is 5:30 o'clock as referenced from facing the dish. This position will work for most areas in Eastern North America; 7:30 o'clock for the western parts of the continent.
Keep trying - you will get it.
