Just a guess but I would say the feed arm that connects the LNB to the DIsh
 
Point your arm straight up. 90 degrees is straight up. 45 degrees is half way between straight out and straight up. 68 degrees is half way between 45 and 90. Use your arm to do this and get are real good feeling, if your dish is pointing in that area. I do this and then sweep left to right and move the dish down or up a little and sweep again. Real easy way to find the signal. Works for me.
 
Also why not try to find 110 and 119? those r the birds i am using. and i av 2 eighteen inches sats( yes 18"). i used a signal meter coupled wit the dish signal meter in the receiver.
