You can not pick up the south america directv in north america. The satellite footprint is for the southern hemisphere. It's the same reason you can't pick up the north american service in south america.
You might be able to get it in southern florida only. The link to a footprint map is below.

any other sugestions ???/? can someone help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee???????????
Dish size can only do so much; if the footprint of the satellite's signal does not cover you then it will not work.
PanAmSat is the satellite operator, Directv Latin America is the service provider for the latin American service in question. You can view this just fine in the southern region of the US from CA to FL with a 1m size dish and a bit further north with a larger dish. You need a specific LNB with a 10.5 ghz LO, which is different from the US Directv.

Where in the US do you live? That satellite's signal only hits the US so far up from the south. So no matter how big of a dish you have, if you are not IN the signal's beam, you will not be able to get anything. If you are in the beam/footprint, then you will need a specific LNBF as mentioned above. If you look at the Lygnsat list for Galaxy 3C - in the beam section - you will see it says Latin America. http://www.lyngsat.com/g3c.html

Where are you located? The Latin American footprint is different from the US footprint and Lyngsat will not be much help for this service.

Kill the the caps please, there is no need to yell. Just reread my post above yours. Just because you have their hardware dosen't not guarantee the reception, where you are located matters too. All that Lyngsat Sat Tracker is for is to show the relationship of a particular satellite to your aprox location, but some satellites can have seperate spot beams that are NOT directed at us here in the USA. Galaxy 3C is just such a sat.

If you are in New Jersey you are out of luck for DirecTV Latin America services, but can get DirecTV US and their Para Todos service.

You can also get what ever is broadcasting via FTA (free to air) KU/C band with the proer gear.
It makes perfect sense why people in the US can't get subscription services from South America or any place else and visa versa.

What exactly are you talking about? What are you trying to do? If there is no signal you can't get it; plain and simple. What programming are you wanting? I mean there are tons of European channels I want with my dishes, but there is no USA signal, so there is just no way! You could get someone to record it for you on a DVR and send it to you via the internet or DVD.
Nope, you could have a full 10' dish in NJ but there would be no luck getting a signal spot beamed that far out of the USA. In fact, one of my dishes IS a 10' C/KU system and there are many beams I can't get.
If you were down in Southern Texas, Southern California, Baja or South Florida you might have a shot because some of those spot beams do overlap the southern border a tiny bit.

Nope, unless you want to setup some sort of broadcast company and negotiate some sort of retransmission rights; which I can tell you will not happen. BUT that would be the ONLY way.
