Are there any obstructions in your path to the satellite, when you're aiming in the general direction? Give us a little information, so we can try to help, like what receiver, what kind/size of dish, etc. Try using 11805H on that satellite, those most popular satellite tps that were there, are now gone, or they were this morning anyway, i.e. 11720V and 11800V. Those tps did have a bunch of channels but there gone now due to Equity Media's bankruptcy.
edit: ifyou can see 97 ok, the dish will be looking lower to the ground as you move it west, from where you are.
