If you know, what direction is your dish pointed in now? Is it pointed in a direction where you have a clear view? I don't quite remember how to look on an HN7000S system, but do you know the longitude of the satellite you're on now?
The reason I ask is that, though the Echostar 19 might not be feasible, there is a beam from the Echostar 17 that is darn near centered right on top of you, and it's at 107.1W as opposed to the 97W of the Echostar 19. If the ES17 would work, they might very well be able to connect you to that. The ES17 info is at http://www.n2yo.com/?s=38551
And, you can actually input your info, choose the satellite (Echostar 17 or 19), and see on the following site exactly where it would point, by the picture...

Is this what I am looking for??
