The signal strenght on the service menu is of the default transponder 11778V on 2A North...Can you lock on to this freq on your signal meter?
I dont want to sound pesimistic but as snap has already pointed out,the fortecstar dish is not such a good dish...You say it took you two hours to assemble it,but is the geometry of the dish correct?(when you look from the side do you see the rim of the dish in one straight line?)
Also keep in mind,skew adjustment is crucial on 2D reception in fringe areas...
