Be patient and you will get a signal:

Use AMC5 as your south sat. First with zero position on the motor, adjust your set up for your true south ( orlando is 185 ). Then pick AMC5, then go to position , and select USALS , click on Green button on your remote. It should says it is moving the dish , only slight adjustment. The 3rd tp on AMC5 is very strong for our location, you may select that as well ( I get about 90 quality on this tp). At this time, move your whole set up few degrees right and left until you get some signal. If not , adjust the dish elevation again, and repeat.

You need to have a TV close to you.

Today, I installed my dish on a permanent pole, and ending wasting another 3 hours trying to find AMC5. Somehow, my dish elevation was 7 degrees off compared with my setup on a pallet. I suspected my cables had gone bad on me!

Anyway, keep trying to find AMC5. Good luck.
