Can't get a signal!!!

Are satellite finders the way to go?. My first attempt to find a signal today ended in failure. My patience ran out. I have a ground satellite on a tripod. The elevation function on the bracket does seem to tell you anything. I got close with finding the satellite but not the signal quality.

Please help for the easiest way?

When you start to swing the dish towards the 28.2 degrees east of south location make sure you start east of this location and swing the dish to the south. That way the first satellite you get to will be the one you want. Have your TV and digibox on and Press services 4 then 6 to give the setup screen You are looking for 0002 on the Network ID and 07d4 on the Transport stream. Remember on digital you are running anything up to 5 seconds behind real time so be gentle with the movements and give the digibox time to do the decoding.
