Azmith to true north is 185.1 degrees (adjust for magnetic north at your location), elevation is 19.3, skew on lnb is +2.4

I agree with gds

119 W Echo 7
Azymuth 185.14
Elevation 19.24

110 W Echo 6/8
Azymuth 175
Elevation 19.25

PS.: Using a Dish500 dish you will pick up both satellites provided that you have a switch:
Azymuth 180 (exact south)
Elevation 19.25
