Then the auto search found a lot of channels. But according to all these channels, I believe they are actually from satellite 97W. I know this probably because I am not pointing to the "true south" or my pole is not vertical, but it's very hard for me to straighten it out. Here are my questions:...
Could you please help me out? You advice is very important to me and is highly appreciated.

Bill covered your request well I only have a small amount to add. As he stated you need to start over from scratch. First verify your mounting mast is plumb. If not everything from there only becomes increasingly more difficult for you to accomlish.
Next align your assembly on the mast to where you believe true south is. Now with USALS tell the receiver to move to AMC5 (79). Providing you have entered the correct info as to location into the USALS menu your dish is now correctly pointed at 79 in relation to 0. If the sat is not there your dish needs adjustment. Start by slowly, very very slowly rotating the assembly on the mast to the east and west until you find something. If you find nothing try raising your dish elevation a degree and repeat.
Moving with the receiver at this point will only further amplify incorrect settings. Once you have this sat peaked for signal try another sat and see if it is there.
