if you can see the sun shining these days (late Sept/early Oct), the sun is currently tracking very close to the satellite "arc".

So, you could put up a 30" cardboard circle at or near where your dish might be placed. If the sun shines on it all day long, the likelihood of you getting satellite reception is pretty good.

Note - cloudy days won't work for this test.
