Look for this Freq. and Symbol Rate in the mornings and weekends. Echostar Satellite Center has been pretty regular in having this test channel with color bars and sound turned on. Another way to get close is to use the Hughes Internet signals on AMC 9 which is at 83 degrees west. Just peak in on those signals(which you can find on Lyngsat.com). Those signals are all in the 12.000-12.200 range and have a symbol rate of 30.000. Once you find them your satellite is to the west two degrees. Makes it easier to find.
