Usually best is to use a satellite as close to due south from you as possible. A quick look at lyngsat shows at 0.8W there is a sat with a transponder with some FTA channels which you should be able to receive at freq 12418V, 28000-7/8.

Pole needs to be as plumb as possible - any tilt will get magnified the further away from due south the dish is pointing...

Try dishpointer.com for help with setup (used to be a link on the old website, not sure with this new forum...)

Service searching -> Tuner configuration -> (tuner) -> Mode = Positioner, then enter your lat/long (use 1.4598 west instead of negative...)

Edit: Link for dishpointer is above under "Useful Links".
