This is a good link to learn how to setup and track your dish:

If the dish is too low when looking at the western satellites, the dish needs to spin to the west (assuming the elevation and declination settings are correct). the elevation for the Houston area should be 30.5 degrees and the declination angle should be 35 degrees (when the dish is centered and not leaning east or west). On the Unimesh, you can measure that on the mounting ring.
