your dish needs to be adjusted to those settings so the dish would point at 82w satellite.
if you are not good with this kind of stuff you might need an installer come and move the dish for you

yes.
tell me why want 82 w
also when you move your dish you will lose 61.5 which carries international channels,is that what you want?

that is good,
you will need to install that second dish as per dishpointer instructions,then you will need a switch,so you will have 2 cables coming from 2 sats to switch and 1 cable from switch to receiver

ok
first you need to install your pole,this should be plumb (straight up)then on the dish adjust your elevation,there are markers there.then you will have to guess ,you should get 82 w if you point it to the right of your 61.5 and keep on moving it slowly until you lock in.it will take a lot of time

see i got 61W easily by using the dishnet receiver,you go to dish pointer and when you pick up the angle the thing goes green and when you dont have the angle the thing goes red, is there anything like that on a FTA receiver?

use the quality meter in the antenna setup, for locking onto a sat.

install dish and diseqc switch , do antenna settings for 82 with proper diseqc port and lnb type selected.

use dishpointer.com , setup the google map for your dish location , aim as shown and adjust elevation till you get good quality

you can use your old dish recevier to find the signal from a bev sat(82 or 91)
