Dan here is a couple pics of my dishs that i fitted and with out a meter both took days to get right, now i have meters it is still a pain to get the dish right.
I live in Leigh Gt Manchester ,
What i did when fitting the dishs was use a old receiver and 12in tv out side so i could see the screen also it was summer the big dish took days to get right.
If the job is getting to you leave it for a day and go back.
The more i look at your motor i think its too high but that might be the pic.

Dan do a search for Dishpointer put you post code and what sat you want and it will show were to point the dish.

We have to find out why you cant get a signal it could be the LNB is not working that why i said check if the other LNB will fit, you only fit the other LNB and fit the coax.
-
Dan see if the LNB off the other dish will fit the new dish, this is why you need a sat meter.
What i have done in the past is take a small tv and STB out side and set the dish up but as its winter i would not do it.

Dan i found more pics for you also i wil get me mount out of te shed and take a couple of pics for you.
Dont buy anything yet lets see what we have first.
As you can see the way the dish mounts you have taken on a big job fitting a motorised dish.
You could do with some items like a sat finder a cheap inclinometer you will find it hard without some tools.

The dish in the background whats that pointing at.
I have te same setup but not fitted as yet.
When the dish came form ebay was it set up because most are set up all you would need to is find a satellite.
You need to see if the LNB is working if it does not you will not get anything.
What are you going to use to drive the dish
Dont go mad ajusting the dish when you said it came from ebay was it sold as working if so the dish should be setup.

What LNB do you have, who set the dish mount up, do you have a sat meter.
