You have 2 choices for finding truesouth:
1. Nimiq1/2 do cover the US. I receiver both of them fine in N.California. So if you have a spare DishNetwork/DirectTV, you can use it to find Nimiq2 which is your truesouth. Remember to set the LO at 11250. This approach is actually easy to find the sat than using linear lnbf.
2. If you don't have DirectTV/DN lnbf, you can pick AMC5 @ 79W or AMC9@85W as your starting point. Use USALS to move the dish to either of them. AMC9 does not have 24/24 active transponders so AMC5 is a better sat to pick. check this http://www.lyngsat.com/amc5.shtml for active trasponders on AMC5.
Skew is set at 0 when dish parks at true south.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
