Sounds like it's probably pointing at Astra1 at 19.2e, assuming it's one of the older round dishes that predate Minidishes...

Try adding channels (services 4 4) using these parameters
10832 H
22000 5/6

and see if you get a whole host of Czech channels. If you do you are pointing at 19E

You can watch them if you get them using services 6

Go into Services, System Setup, Add Channels

Put in 11568 Vertical 22000 5/6 and it should find:

Canal Algérie
TV 5 Monde
Al Masriyah
RAI Uno
RTP Internacional
Tunis 7
ARTE Français
Al Jazeera Channel
TVE Internacional Europe
2M Maroc

Then if you want to move the dish to Astra 28.2 sky digital, it is a relatively small move down a bit and east by 9 degrees.

You need to type faster rolf

It may well be that the lnb is a low band only type. If so it wont go above 11700khz and will need swapping out for a universal type.

You have to phone Sky, although it is normally the last four digits of the original card, unless you changed it.
