Is amc-16 still broadcasting reason is this is my true south satellite and i want to put a motor on my dish and line it up with this satellite. What do you do if you can't get your true satellite? What else can you do?

There is a thread in this, if not a FAQ
Basically, you tell the receiver to go to a satellite nearby your TS
The motor swings the dish over a few degrees
You set elevation and azimuth to get this alternate bird
With luck and care, you will be on the arc
Yes, I left out some critical steps, so see the discussion by SatelliteAV and others for the long version.

There is a test card at 12195H 3978 on AMC16, if you are working on your dish. Usually it is on all day during the week, color bars and tone.
