I'm at Longitude 76.86W, so I guess my bird on true south would be SBS-4(77W) according to Sadoun's Dish Calculator.
But, I went to lyngsat.com, there's no info on SBS-4.
Can I still use it as my true south??

Another bird closer to my longitude is either GOES 12(75W), or AMC5(79W)

Should I use GOES 12 or AMC5 or just go ahead and use SBS-4 even though it does not showing on lyngsat.com?

Thanks for your help!

or

Should both work.
Don't forget to compensate for magnetic deviation

GOES is a weather satellite, not a television one, not even sure why its listed on lyngsat, that and the S band XM birds...

You wont get any signals from any of those.

Cascade is right, use SBS6
