    Route HDMI signals over the coaxial cable that already exists in your house. - CONVERTERS & ADAPTERS would work but can get costly

    You can peak the slimline just fine with a $20 cheapo meter, the SL3 does not see the 119, the ASL-1 and PI are for SWiM LNB's which you did not buy. Yes your STB needs a BBC Find a reference to the azimuth for the 101 Set your Elevation and Skew according to the screen Aim the AZ-EL mount...
