Line of sight question

[nockam]

I have never had satelite before and I just moved to a new apartment complex where i can only have satelite on my balcony. I can only see north, East, and a little bit South East. I bet i can only see 0 - 110 degrees. Does anyone know if Direct TV or Dish network will work with that line of sight? Anyone I talk to on the phone pretty much hangs up on me as soon as i tell them i cannot see southwest.

Sorry, location is probably important. I am in northern california.

A zip code would help.

Dish has a lot of core programing on 119° while DirecTV has mostly locals on 119°
DirecTV USA on
DirecTV 7S at 119.0°W - LyngSat

DrecTV
101°, 110°, 119° and for HD 99°, 103°
DISH

Go to Google Earth and find the exact longitude and latitude of the balcony and then use
