Okay, Here is how I always did it.
Leave the dish at the elevation you have it since it seems to be lower than what you need.
Find a known good transponder from Iceberg's list, or someone can post one for you.
Get that set in your receiver in the setup menu where the SQ meter shows.
Make darn sure that your LO setting is correct at 10750. I wasted 45 minutes one time trying to get hispasat because I had the LO set at 10600, and couldn't get a smell of a signal.
Make a mark on the mast and a corresponding mark on the dish, and slowly, and I mean slowly pan back and forth from that mark at least an inch on the mast.
If you get no signal, raise the dish ever so slightly, and try again. Keep repeating until you have the signal.
It is slow and painful, but it works.
