Tracking issues

I have an Orbitron S7 with "spinclination and a BSC621, a coolsat 6000 (not a clone), and V-box. I am in Lorain ohio at 41lat and 82 long. I get 87 w and 91 w perfectly but nothing else. I tried to line it up with 82 and 84 but from what I can tell from Lyngsat is these are not visible from the USA. I couldn't fin 79w either. So I started at 87 and found it no problem. The Orb manual says to set the elevation at 90 minus my lat which is 49 and the spinclination to 41. If I hunt around with the reciever and actuator I can get a few channels off 93w 95w and 97 but not all. I'm at my wits end here and am almost ready to spend the $200 for the man to come do it for me. Any suggestions I could try before spending anymore money on this thing? Thanks folks
