Are you setting it up at home first to test? Should be easier enough to get a signal at home just put it close to your sky dish and allign it to match, when I have fitted new dishes I tend to put the sky box on signal strength (via the setup menu) and make sure I can see the TV from where I am and allign it using that as a guide, ( you get two strength bars one for quality and one for strength) never had much luck doing it with a sat finder meter.

found after trial and error,make sure dish is vertical.point dish to dead south with a clear view of the sky.( NO OBSTRUTIONS AT ALL) turn dish really slowly in miniscule steps towards the east until you get to 140 to 145 on the compass.you should now have a good single and it only needs tweaking left or right to get the best signal bar.if you can not hold compass while turning use your watch.set 12 o clock to dead south and turn dish to 5 to 12.make sure all connections are good or you will be there all day.
