Default help can't pick up satellites

Can anyone help,
I have just installed a new system technomate 5400, triax 80cm, 1.2 diseqc 1.2 motor.
My dish is on a south facing wall, Latitude is 52.460,longitude 1.695 (lowestoft). I've set my elevation to 38 and dish to 22.5.
This is where the fun starts i moved the motor to recieve thor then tried to manually move the dish with a satfinder but can only achieve 20% signal quality, But if i drive the motor a little further west i can get 80% but no other satellites.
Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong.

Asuming your pole is 100% vertical, you are very almost there.

Send the dish to Thor using USALS, tune the receiver to 11325H, and monitor sig quality, then swivel the whole lot rond the pole and adjust the tilt angle of the dish for max quality. I suspect that you need to swivel the lot west a bit and the dish down a touch.
