DTV in South America Question - Help Needed Can't Post

I pay for DTV in USA and also at my condo in South America, fully legit.
I have brought a USA based receiver/card with me to my condo in Medellin Colombia and swapped it out with the one I pay for, my goal is to just enjoy the USA programming & sports I pay for up there when I am here every other month, it is hockey & basketball playoff time :-)
The swap out has not been successful, I thought it would work seemlessly, hahaha. All I get on the screen is "searching for satellite" I am assuming my USA receiver/card is pegged to a certain satellite that serves USA and my dish here in SA is pegged to another, and that all I need to do is figure out the direction I need to point my SA dish to to hit the USA satellite.
Can anyone help me or set me straight that it would be impossible?

I don't think the signal reaches that far south.

I have done a little more research since my first post, looks like DTV in SA is on Galexy8i satellite at 94.94 and I need to point to DBS1 at 109.82, I did see a foot print map for DBS1 and you are right, it is close from a footprint point of view, may require a bigger dish.
Any other help people can provide, much appreciated.
