You should be able to go as far as 15W (maybe more). Keep in mind that most of these satellites don't have any beams pointing to North America. Hispasat is the only one that has a decent number of programming beamed over here. Few other satellites have couple of transponders poinintg to NA.

Check www.lyngsat.com . Select the satellite you are interested in and one of the columns shows where the signal is beamed.

I'm in upstate SC and can see clearly to 12.5° Atlantic Bird 1. If you're using a KU only sustem you should be able to get programming from 12.5, 15, 22, 30, 34.5, 37.5, 43, 45 & 58°. If you're using a C band system also you can get 22, 27.5, 40.5, 43, 45, 50, 55 &58°.

You can check with Lyngsat for available feeds on each location. http://www.lyngsat.com/atlantic.html

Also note that some of those C band feeds require circular polarity capability.
