Well, after eight very confusing hours I have managed to get my 10 foot dish where it follows the arc of satellites.
I programmed the G-box with positions of the satellites I was able to find (I forget how many now). I gave each satellite a position number and name.
I programmed my Coolsat 6000 to move the big dish via the G-box. When I bring up my favorites list and select a channel the dish will move to the proper satellite.

I sure wish that G-box was a USALS, that would be sooooo awesome!
And after a LOT of frustration I finally got the theater app to do the same thing. THAT was not fun......
I found the website for the guy that wrote the app and it looks like he's in Russia. His Engrish is atrocious.. I tried to read a few of his postings and I can't decipher his severely mangled English. I gave up on that after 5 minutes. Or less..
So I went back to google for help. I couldn't figure out anything there either. Then I went into "CLICK EVERYTHING" mode.
Hours wasted on that. Something I did crashed the app. No surprise, it crashes every time I try to go back and forth between the RTV S2 channels and anything else. When I restarted the app I resumed my click everything routine. All of a sudden the G-box started working! Maybe crashing and restarting the program fixed it, I don't know but it started working and I'll take that for a dollar!
So then I spent the next few hours trying to figure out how to assign positions to the app. I started getting confused and I had stuff backwards and all out of order and it was making me insane! Scan and rescan, over and over.. OMG....... What a massive pain in the backside....
Well, it's not perfect but it's not too bad. It wouldn't hurt if I spent more time on it and fine tuned it a little better but for now I think I'll let it ride a few days.
I got a bunch of new channels I couldn't get before so I'll just poke around in the new stuff and figure out what's worth adding to my favorites or not.
I still want that new channel from Dallas on 118! But there's a bleepin tree in the way and somehow it's got to come down. I checked with my iPhone and that tree is blocking pretty much everything from 99w and west of that.
For the time being I've run out of steam on this. I've been putting this off since the beginning. When I first got the 10 foot dish put up I just rotated it around and found 87 right off the bat so I just left it right there like that. Not at all properly adjusted but it more or less got me by for the past few months.
I'm lazy. And it's too hot.
Well, this is a good step in the right direction now. Now if I can just get 118.
I also need to get the little HH motor working but it's going to need some help, the pc won't move it, I guess it doesn't have enough power to turn the motor from the tuner card. I have no desire to poke around inside that thing though. I'm going to take the motor and that diagram to my dad and see if he can make and sense of it. He used to fix radios and stuff when I was little. I can put blue wires to blue wires and green wires to green wires and that's about it.
I would LOVE to get the HH motor working.
I also need to figure out a way to find FSTV on 123 but that is not a matter for C-band... Nor is the HH motor..
Whew!! What a day!!
