Hi jenksky
What type of sat finder are you using? If you try to use the finder on your t.v. you will find it's far too slow for a novice & you will probably end up throwing the whole lot in the bin.
1st off, go buy a compass from poundland you don't need owt fancy
2nd, get one of these ebay 230492365832 ( cut n paste this item number )these sat finders are ideal for the novice to use.
Right get setup, face your dish south, attach finder to LNB on dish then cable from sat box to sat finder, adjust dial on finder until you get a tone, needle on dial prob at zero, slowly turn your dish to the east watch dial it will move up + you will also get a tone gets louder as you start to lock onto sat,move until needle starts to drop back down then just fine fine tune by tilting your dish until you get MAXIMUM signal on you sat finder.
I'm presuming your wanting to tune into SKY, using you sky tv remote, press sevices scroll down to no 4 system setup click select,now scroll down to no 6 signal test click select,you will now be looking at your inbuilt sat finder on your sky box, top 2 are the quality of the signal, 3rd is telling you your locked on sat, next two are VITAL so remember them Network ID 0002 Tranport stream 07d4 if these numbers arn't showing you've locked onto the wrong satellite so retune your dish
Hope this helps a bit, when i'm tuning in i always start at South & sweep to the east as Sky is first sat you come to, there are 3 close together so easy to lock onto wrong one
