Not exactly, you connect everything, including the LNB, to your receiver, set Motor/Dish/LNB to 0. You then use your receiver, once you have entered your correct Latitude, and Logitude, and use your receiver to send the dish to 1W.
Once the motor has moved you then physically move the dish, using your hands, to align to 1W. You then adjust the brackets to maximise the signal quality, until you get the best quality possible. Tighten everything up, then use your receiver to send the dish to your furthest East satellite, that's available, like 52E, 42E, 39E, or just 28.5E, then to 30W, providing your dish has enough room to travel that far, without any obstructions, and post bac, with the signal quality levels.
