Can't get any TV channels on AMC-7 or AMC-8

I have a Fortek Star Platinum NA and an 8 foot dish. I get about 31 radio channels on C-band AMC-8 and the signal strength ranges from high 60s to a high of 88.
This receiver appears to work on other C-band TV channels on other satellites.
I am located in Beatty, NV.

AMC7 has NASA but I have never been able to get it with my 6 footer. There is a feed (color bars) in the Alaska mux (the other stations are scrambled and do not show up on a scan). The color bars shows as "Program7"

As for AMC8, 16 of the 24 TP's there are beamed to ALaska so we can only get some of the V stuff. Most of it is for radio stations and you need a special receiver for those.
