My System: Smart lnb, 1m Gibby dish, Stab motor, TM5200D receiver, 57east to 61west. DTT from Sudbury. Virgin Media broadband.

Ref "Waggle the Dish's Elevation, Azimot"
No! You move the dish a little at at time and leave for approx 10 seconds to see if the receiver/sat meter gets a lock. If not, then another small movement and wait agai, etc etc.
Waggle a dish about! You are trying to catch a signal that is generated approx 40000kms away in space. It is similar to trying to see a spotlight from a distance of 25000 miles.
