Seems I remember seeing in their online information or somewhere that Orby only serves the continental US. Guessing that's where their transponder is "aimed".

It looks like it should be no problem from the footprint maps

EUTELSAT 117 West A

Appears it may be possible from footprint below.

Are you using an actual Orby dish or another FTA dish?

Yes, that is what's list on Lyngsat, specifically 11940 V 30000 and 11980 V 30000 DBV-S2 2/3 8PSK. I am tuning these in Pennsylvania on a modded DirecTV Slimline with linear lnbf. I used a meter to set up my dish and got signal really quickly. It does need to be spot on though, no room for error. Also, I skewed the lnbf instead of the dish. Should work either way but skewing the lnbf got me a solid signal.

yeah seems pretty hard to get down here
