I'm not familiar with your receiver, but did install a new sg9120b a few weeks ago.
I ended up using a circular LNB and found the Dish, Nimiqs and other circular sats from 61° to 119°, then switched to a linear LNB and fine tuned the arc in. You can slowly move the circular LNB around in front of the dish to catch signal - make sure you have an active TP selected - then zero in the dish for maximum signal.
The declination instructions in the "manual" - the one that came with mine isn't much bigger than a business card - are off by 10°, they should be 30° minus the declination angle for your latitude.
So far the motor works great. Hopefully it does better than the sg2100 did when winter sets in.
