I picked up a free dish via craigslist
Winegard 7.5' mesh
mount
pole
actuator
Chapparal Feedhorn (?)
Novsat Gold C-Band LNB (the label showing the model number was worn off. I do see 710-0285)
Novsat 6600 Series Ku-Bane LNB (GM6921)
Visionsat IV200 PVR Plus
zip code 98466 I understant that I need to angle the mount assy at 35.7 degrees when pointed true south (I understand my declination is +18.1 degrees from magnetic)

I'm suspecting the former owner disassembled the dish solo as the 4 support arms were bent and slightly twisted at the ends. I straightened the arms as best I could. I spent a bit of time aligning the scalar ring such that it is parallel to the dish. How do I center the scalar ring - loosen the bolts attaching the ring and twist the ring or loosen the bolts to the dish and adjust the slots?

This has become my science experiment

Do I have sufficient equipment to determine to make it work? I see the servo on the Feedhorn, but do not see the way to control it.. or even be able to look inside the feedhorn and understand if it is currently set to horizontal or vertical (I'm assuming to limit my scans and not waste time).

I've seen multiple directions on how to install the feedhorn assembly; point the arrow (on the servo) straight up (the servo does not have an arrow, but picture lead me to believe the arrow id following the long edge of the container looking at the back); cut out a template, place on the side of the servo, and point the arrow straight up (which woud cant the feedhorn about 45 degrees to the right when facing from the front of the dish).

Since I do not know the specs for the LNB, I hope to get some guidance as the PVR is asking questions I cannot answer:
Satellite: (I suspect I need to target 123W Galaxy12)
Frequency: (nnnnn M nnn[n] [H|V])
LNB Power: (On | Off)
LNB Frequency: (n/n)
DISEqC SW:
Positioner Setting: (None | DiSEqC 1.2 | USALL)

I have the post and mount temporarily installed, plumbed, pointed true south, and secure. I'm not chasing concrete yet. Is there a way to simply point the dish alone (on the ground, leaning against a stable bin)?

For starts, I'd like to find any signal to prove the quipment functions. I'll certainly want to see it much further. Should I cable in the C-band or Ku-band LNB? I will bring the PVR and TV near the dish.

Picture will follow, I'm certain you want to see the feedhorn and LNBs

Thank you for your time
