Need help setting up dish

Hi all
I have the Fortec star 90cm dish and pansat2300A and sg2100 dish mover.
I set my lat 21.2 long 170.deg pole straight vertical.
SG2100 motor setting latitude 21 elevation angle 69 dish bracket 26.4
I get 10r and dishnetwork 121,But when i go to t5 no signal so I adjust dish elevation to get t5,G3,T6 than when i go back to 10r and 121 no 10r and121 signal.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank for the help
El

Your longtitude is definately not at 170. Did you aim the dish at the duesouth sat first?

I'll assume all your numbers are right, pole is plumb, etc.

My best guess is you should use USALS or DISEQC to move your dish to "reference", or it's center position. Then double check your motor and dish/lnb are pointing in your "true south" direction (don't forget to adjust for magnetic deviation in your area). Seems to me you might be off a little bit in that regard...
