is there a satellite finding software beside "Satellite Antenna Alignment"
that helps one find a satellite? in other words, is there a software tool
that detects a satellite signal when your PC is hooked to a satellite
antenna?

I just recently bought a dish and a SkyStar USB receiver with two LNBs. I
installed it all software and hardware wise but it seems as if I didn't
adjust the dish properly. Is there something that could help me position the
dish properly without buying all those expensive instruments that pros use
to read a sat. signal?

thx

Your best bet is to contact an HSP for your service and have them aim it for you.
You can do it on your own in anywhere from an hour to all day. A professional can do it in about three minutes.
Barring all that. Ensure your mast is straight/plumb/level and set the az and el to the preset given by the ird. Fine tuning can be done in very small increments as there is about a three second lag from the signal registering on the signal meter and the actual position of the dish.
This should get you in a better signal.
