Moved into new place that has Directv dishes, but our receivers don't work.

Hi All,

 

Hope someone can help me.  We just moved into a new place.  The old occupants were using Directv.  So I thought I could simply just plug in my Directv tuners in and voila, in business.  This isn't the case.  The on-screen message says that the tuners are "Searching for Signal on Satellites in 1...(771)"

 

So I'm assume that the dishes aren't finding the Satellites.  is this a correct assumption.  One noticeable difference between our old house and new place is that the new place has 2 dishes pointing in different directions.  Where our old place only had 1 dish.  Could this pose a problem?  We only move about 10 mile from our old place.  The old Zip code is 54476 and the new zip code is 54455.

 

Thank you very much in advance for any assistance you may be able to offer.
