What are my top 5 satellites for Corning California?

Hi, I am trying my best to get this satellite reciever up and running. I have this TwinHan PCI card and a 36 inch dish. With a motor. I am getting all the information I need slowly but surely. I know a tv top reciever will be easier to locate sats with since the processing power and fast response. I like the auto search they say they have on it. Who knows maybe I should just work on this pci card first and consider one later. Anyway I just wanted to know the best top 5 in the Corning California. I was told Galaxy 10R is my southern sat. Maybe there is another that you think is better for my first one?? Give me a list of them if possible. But tell me this too. Is this left of the true south or right? and how much? I know that is probably lame questions. If I look at some chart it will probably say it. I need a list of sats with a chart hovering sats over a map. Pinpointing them. There is a lot I want. I will think of more questions as they arise lol. Thanks

Check out my answer to your other post. I think it is good that you are considering a set top box, from what i've read, this is difficult to do the first time with a PCI card.

As for the best satellites, G10 is the only one you should concentrate on, anything else will be to the west or east of your location and will just make things confusing later on.

i cant keep left or right straight but here is a shot: if you have your dish pointed directly south, 180 degrees, and you are standing behind the dish, you will want to move it slightly to the right to get G10 at 181 degrees.

ok will do. It really takes a little time to get this. And once you do familiarize you think oh I should have understood it more easily. Even the astronauts that fly the shuttle think it's pretty easy once they familiarize. What a fine analogy for this Clarke Belt sat situation. Thanks
