Update! Took the dish out to PSU (Go State!), set it up, and turned it on. I didn't change the elevation or skew from home (4 hours away). Aimed it by using a compass (didn't work) and started to turn the dish azimuth s-l-o-w-l-y and within 30 seconds had both satellites! I did not re-run...

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. It was at my insistance that the installer just dropped off the equipment. I never intended to use the system at home - only at football games. It seems as though transporting the equipment and trying to align it might be more than a novice is capable of...
