Sounds like you need to get your dish aligned mate. Whats your signal strength?

If you are getting some sort of signal then it might be slightly out so use usals as this is the easiest way of finding channels,load up a recent set of bouquets,Catseyes does a great multi sat bouquet and make sure your Long and Lat are correct.
If your still having problems slightly add or take away something on the Longitude to compensate the misalignment.This might help things greatly.
Do it gradually and swap from one channel to another to see if the snr goes up.

Look at the picture this is how you should go about setting up usals.
Menu/Setup/ServiceSearching/TunerConfiguration/Choose Configuration mode as Simple then move Mode to Positioner.

Thats the best and easiest way in my book.
