Try googling "satbeams" you should find all the info you're after.

go onto dishpointer and put in your location/postcode, hang the virtual dish on your house where it is actually situated and check for yourself

if you have a clear view of the sky and your dish is on a south facing wall,you should pick up most of the arc from 42e to 45w,However there will be the odd few which you may struggle with or not pick up at all like 26e,30e and 7w.

East Sats
42e,39e,36e,33e,28.2e,26e,23.5e,
19e,16e,13e,10e,9e,7e,4.8e,3e

West Sats
1w,5w,7w??,8w,11w,12.5w,15w,
22w,24.5w,27.5w,30w

If your dish is tracking the arc you should be picking up all those sats .
Good luck : )
