I am located in the SF Bay Area in CA.. I've been trying to get AMC6 or SBS6, but couldnt.. I am able to get AMC5 with a good signal, but not SBS6.. SBS6 is only 5 degrees east of AMC5! Any ideas as to what might be causing this problem?

SBS6 is kind of tricky sat in Bay Area, low elevation. Make sure you have clear view.

I get SBS6 now.. It's signal is pretty strong.
AMC6 seems to not exist even though its only 2deg away.. Does anyone know of a pretty reliable and strong feed on AMC6 I can tune to while I adjust?
I seem to have also lost a lot of signal on my other sats.. At least now I know its not the trees. I lost AMC1 alltogether and my signal on Telstar6 seems to have dropped alot.
