The SWM "satellite" is not a satellite as others have mentioned. It indicates the status of the SWM setup. If you are using a SWM lnb, you can connect a maximum of 8 tuners. If you had that many connected, you would have a reading on all eight. If you only had 2 tuners connected, I'm pretty sure that you will only see 2 transponders on the SWM screen. I have a SWM 16 multiswitch at home with 9 tuners connected. Therefore, I see 9 transponders on the SWM sat screen.
You really should be using a meter to aim your SWM dish at the 101 sat. Just about any meter (even the cheapies) will work, but you have to have the LNB powered by the PI. I use a device called an ASL 1 to make the connection, but they are getting harder to find. A "Green" splitter should work also, but not with the $15 meters.
