Unhappy Im Useless

Hello all
Im trying to set up my silvercrest 65/12 which i brought 2nd hand 2 years ago, When i turn the receiver on and click the info button, it comes up and tells me i have a Signal intensity of 30/33 and signal quality of 8/10% and this is with the lnb cable diconnected, the box when i got it came with preprogrammed satellites on but i cant seem to get any picture no matter where i point it. Do i need to delete all satellites and re install (if so how) i have tried following the manual and im getting nowhere its coming to the stage it may take a tumble in the bin. Any pointers hints tips would be very gratefully recieved as 1 is getting very stressed
Im near a town called Gueret in France and am trying to pick astra 19.2 E

Cheers

I doubt there's anything wrong with the box, its normal to show them signal levels without dish connected.. I guess you just got to get your dish pointed right...

This link might help you..

Not sure if your new to sat etc, but when it comes to pointing the dish, a sat meter is handy, £7 or £8 on ebay and move the dish very slowly in the direction of 19.2 e, tweek up down and sideways. 19.2 is a very strong signal here in uk, and france also. Keep us informed, and theres plenty of help here on techwatch.
