I got a satellite calculator & dish pointing tools (below) you can use too...but you will need a compass & a signal meter to do it right. (unless you know what your doing & you said you didn't)
Move the dish without the tools or knowledge and you might lose what you have now.
A meter is under $20. @ eBay & compass is $3. (CHEAP for free TV.)

Use the dish pointing tool & satellite calculator below to enter your zip code & get the correct dish settings for your area.
Use the compass to turn dish in correct (general) area...then use an incline/angle guage to set elevation off horizon...then use the meter to fine tune...then use the receiver dish setting page to verify what bird you really found.
First thing is to set the skew angle.
This is done before anything else & never changes once you set it.
Add together the 2 numbers you get for skew (be it 110 & 119 or 82 & 91)...then divide them by 2 to get the average skew angle.
This should be enough info to get you up...if not just ask again friend.
* Be sure the dish mount pole is square & straight with a bubble level first...or nothing will be right.
