Apartment faces east, southeastern sky visible

[wx4tcl]

I am roughly at 87*W, 30*N (that's an estimate, I'm in Pensacola, Florida) ...My apartment faces roughly east, and I have a clear view of the eastern sky, roughly from 350/0*-170/180* ... I understand that DirecTV-1R sits at 70-something West. Can I get DirecTV service by pointing to 1R alone? On the flip side, Echostar III is at 61.5*W, can I get Dish Network service by pointing to E3 alone? Both of those birds would be within my viewing range.

DirecTV service is from 101/110 and 119. Unless you can point your dish over your roof to the South*west* then you can't get a signal from DirecTV. Some very small market locals are on a sat at 72.5 but that would all you'd get from that sat (assuming it's your locals on there).
