I am in canada and am setting up a motorized dish. I can lock on to nimiq 1,3 and nimiq 2 but i can't seem to get any more satellites. It seems like when you drive the dish to the extreme east or west that it is pointing into the roof of the house. I can't see if i have any brackets on wrong or not. any suggestions? thanks
 
I assume you have done the obvious, plum mast, set your elevation correctly, positioned your dish correctly relative to your motor. Here is a handy tool, dishpointer.com.
I have found a simple sat signal detector to be very helpful when I am on my roof. I am in Ontario and my dish works great. More details of your setup would be helpful.
