For others to help you, it would be better if you post all your equipment.

Check out the following links below for setting up your dish. Your TS should be around 180+4.5= 184.5 degrees on your compass. You should use a signal meter, along with your receiver to find your first satellite...I would recommend using USALS and move to your closest sat. i.e. 79w degrees. Look for 12182/H/23000 or 11742/V/11110 transponder...
