Only Picking up 3 Channels on AMC-21

[Jaco420]

My favorite satellite has become AMC-21 at 125W--ever since the Galaxy 18 offerings at 123W shrunk down to nothing. The problem is that I am only getting 3 channels on AMC-21. According to the list at FTAList.com - AMC 21 Channel List I should be getting the following:

Create TV 12180-V 30000 193 196 PBSC
Montana Legislature 11959-H 2532 33 38
Montana PBS 12103-V 4340 33 38 KUFM
PBS 12180-V 30000 177 180 PBS-X
PBS HD 12140-V 30000 49 52 PBSEHD
PBS HD 2 12140-V 30000 65 68 PBSDT-W
PBS HD 3 12179-V 30000 49 52
PBS World 12180-V 30000 225 228 WGBXDT2
WSEE CBS Erie PA 12004-H 4691 308 256 WSEE
V-Me 12180-V 30000 209 212 V-ME

I do pick up

Create TV (PBSC)
V-Me
PBS World

without any trouble. They come in clearly. I also get two more that don't seem to be on this list and are always off the air:

PBS NOC HD01 12180-V 30000
PBS NOC SD01 12180-V 30000

Sometimes I have picked up

Montana PBS (KUFM)

I don't seem to be able to pick up the other six:

Montana Legislature
PBS (PBS-X)
PBS HD (PBSEHD)
PBS HD 2 (PBSDT-W)
PBS HD 3
WSEE CBS Erie, Pa.

ever. Is this normal? My motorized FTA system does fine with other satellites from my location in W.Va. I have read conflicting reports about this satellite. Some say it is really at 124.9W. Others say the dish must be nudged west a little. I should add that there is a tree to the right of the line-of-sight that looks like it partially blocks the signal. Can I rule it out though since I can pick up White Springs TV at 129W?

Thanks in advance.

Jaco,

Did you use USALS to setup your motor and dish alignment?

If not, then I recommend re-setting the motor using USALS. If you don't feel comfortable re-aligning, then just use DiSEqC 1.2 and nudge the dish a little. See if you get stronger signals/quality on 125W by trying different transponders.
