Kraven,
I read and responded to your other post about the S10 not booting up properly, first. In light of that, I don't think I would spend too much time on this issue until you resolve that issue.
Like you stated, it might be a moot point at this time. However, since you have this thread open already we could discuss some points on the subject just for future information.
First of all, remember that there aren't very many signals between 30 and 61 to be had.
There is Hispasat at 30.0°W, Telstar 11N at 37.5°W and Amazonas 2 at 61.0°W, but that is about it for most viewers in N.A.
Most of the other satellites in this region require a Universal LNBF to pick up the signals from the low band side of the Ku spectrum.
From 111°W on to the west, there are currently just a few satellites, also.
You might get lucky and pull in 113.0°W or 116.8°W depending upon your location, but I wouldn't expect these two sats from Vermont, I barely receive them here in Nebraska when trying hard.
Galaxy 23 @ 121.0°W, Galaxy 18 @ 123.0°W and AMC 21 @ 125.1°W are the best possibles west of 111W.
I would think that you should be able to pull in AMC 21, but the others are going to be elusive and offer few channels.
From your location, to judge your H-H motor tracking of the satellite arc, I would concentrate on:
30.0°W and or 37.5°W for your eastern most satellite and 123.0° and or 125.0°W for your western most satellite.
61.0°W for an eastern mid range and 97.0°W for a western mid range.
72.0°W and 83.0° for your center most satellites. 72.0°W is probably your best due south satellite anyway.
Hence: 30W/37.5W, 61W, 72W, 83W, 97W, 123W/125W. If you can manage to track the arc to all six (or eight) of these satellites, you will have it made. It cannot get much finer.
