Hard to get IA5

My setup is as follows:
Fortec Star classic NA receiver
36" Fortec Star dish
Lava 0.3 Ku LNBF
My location: 41.18 N 74.47W
SBS6 is my true south satellite

I have had some success in tuning in the following sats in "the arc" AMC3, Galaxy 11, IA6, AMC1, and AMC15. I am really having a hard time getting a lock on IA5. I know that this is the satellite that I need to be on for all of the good FTA programming on there. My installation is plumb and true, no obstructions. I know that a person needs to find an active transponder but the ones that I manually scan don't seem to provide results. Any information on getting IA5 set would be helpful. Thanks.
