Was it working before you changed lnbs? If so, then it probably isn't the aiming of the dish.
Is the focal distance about the same as the old lnb?? I'd check that, aside from being sure the wiring is ok.

The geosatpro C2 the skew is off by 90 degrees. Its a known issue
so if you are setting the LNB at "0" it needs to be at 9:00 or 3:00 (if visualizing a clock)

One solution ( assuming you have only one dual output lnbf) is to daisy chain 3 of these units , http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Products/Eagle-Aspen/SMK-3340-3x4-Multiswitch.htm. That will give you twelve receiver capability. Or this single unit, http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Products/JVI/JVI-35STV12MS.htm .

I'm new to the C band side,but you need to post what equipment you're using and your settings.It might be your settings.A brief discription of what you have tried might help.G'luck
Latitude: 40.9651°
Longitude: -75.9981°
Name: 75W BRASILSAT B3 | GOES 13
Distance: 37586km
Elevation: 42.6°
Azimuth (true): 178.5°
Azimuth (magn.): 190.5°
i got a orbitron 12'ter
sv 360 elite
geo sat pro c2 lnb
5150 freq
diseq on port 1 i also tried all other ports
lnb power on
i have a actuator but i dont have a mover yet
i left the polar mount the same as it was when i got the dish it was about 20 miles from my house

Love to come help you dj, but its way way too far to drive from here! Hopefully somebody closer to you will volunteer. Have you taken that motor off the dish yet and tried just propping up the dish with a board or something? At least that way you could move the dish around some, without mis-adjusting everything on it. If you had marked on the dish mount and the pole, before you took the dish down, you might've had an easier shot at re-aligning it without a lot of work, since it was so close to you. But, a 12' is a bit harder to align than a 10 footer (sees more precisely in the arc). Either way, it would be hard for a first-timer, especially since there's very little analog to help you.
I live near Scranton, PA. But I have not attempted to install my BUD, yet. I know less than you do at this point. I hope you figure it out soon!
Something must have gotten bumped in it move without you knowing about it. Have you checked the depth & rotation of the LNB?
Here is a stupid question, are you positive that your RG6 cable is good?

The power on the box must be off every time you disconnect/connect any wires at the diseque swtch(unplug it to be safe).Your diseque could be fried.You only need a diseque for more than one LNB.Try it without the diseque.If you get any channels;that's your problem.I'm assuming the diseque is for polarity control.Don't take my word for this cause I'm not sure!!,but I don't think diseques can be used for polarity (maybe on a fixed dish).The voltage might be to high,for motor control???If you get channels as a fixed dish,then You're on the right track.Oh yea,here's a gem.Go here: " Footprints by Dish Size - Adjusting the Polar Mount for Prime Focus Antenna - C/Ku-Band Satellite Systems - Tuning, Tracking, Azimuth, Elevation, Declination Angles, F/D Ratio, Focal Distance, Inclinometer, LNB/Feedhorn Assembly, Actuator Assembly, C " G'luck
