No signal probably almost certainly caused by the pole-> motor and motor->dish connections having been disturbed by removing/refitting the components - you only have to be less than 1/2 a degree off for the dish to be "looking" outside the VERY narrow sat beam width and thus for no signal to be picked up, and that's for the strongest transponders on most sats other than 13E/19E/28E!
Think you'll have to probably start from scratch again.
Edited:
PS: it should easier 2nd time around as you should now have some experience!
PPS: and that's why I cleaned and painted my dishes BEFORE I even tried to install them on the first occasion, or else did that when they were still in-situ!
