Telefonica's footprint is for southamerica only. No matter what you do you won't be able to watch this satellite.
The Amazonas satellite on Ku does not have a footprint for north america, only C band and there is nothing interesting.

If you want to watch Colombian channels for free the best way to do it legally is thru NSS806.
You need a 6' antenna, a C band circular LNB and a receiver of your choice.

Who ever knows... give it a try...
According to Hispasat homepage
owners and operators of Amazonas @61w
here is the official footprint...

-- Antartica partial
-- South America full
-- Central America full
-- Caribean full
-- North America full (Alaska=no)
-- Canada full
-- England full
-- Spain full
-- Europe+Africa partial

Amazing bird!

Puerto Rico testers use 6-feet dish
LNB KU-Lineal 10750 noise 0.3dB


Transponder 12092 is currently on the clear
other TPs are encripted...

The map shows Amazonas Ku footprint for south america.
If you visit LYNGSAT you will see that Telefonica Chile and Colombia are providing service to south america only therefore using a beam for southamerica.
The owners of Amazonas explains the capabilities and/or original plan for their satellite.

NSS806 is less problem.

Don't waste any time trying to get the south america beam from here.
If you see the map at latitude 20°N the footprint shows 35dBW.
For 35dBW you need no less than a 10' (300cm) diameter antenna.
The farther you are from the edges of the footprint the bigger the antenna you need.

No pierdas mas tiempo tratando de recibir el beam de sudamerica desde aqui.
Si tu ves el mapa en la latitud 20°N, la pisada muestra 35dBW.
Para 35dBW necesitas no menos de una antena de 10 pies o 300 cm.
Mientras mas te alejas de los filos de la pisada mas grande debe de ser la antena.

Wow, you have a 3.8 meter prime focus dish. You are a lucky one. There are a lot of SPANISH channels on C-Band. Use your dish to the maximum capabilities. If I were you, I would use it to the max.
