Something else that takes place when using a motorized system is skew of the lnbf. So as your dish travelling along the arc it is also rotating on center thus skewing the lnbf for the location you are at. So when you were at 101 and the lnbf skewed at 0 you basically (not an exact number) were also 22 degrees off in skew of the lnbf. This may be why you could not see SBS6. You should have been able to see everything east of your location if your dish elevation and motor elevation were correct just pointed at the wrong sat.
