can pick up. Lat 37, Long 121 (San Francisco Bay Area). Considering I'm on the west coast, is it possible to get any satellites that are in the East? Such as Hotbird on 13East? I can't find any info on how to tell if I can get that. Advice please. Thanks. Using a 33" Fortec dish with SG2100 motor and Fortec Lifetime Ultra

you can get all these (the KU ones).

Sadly, none of the atlantic ones are available from your location. you can use the Sattracker function on lyngsat (select a satellite, and click on your location and it will tell you if it is either above or below the horizon) or the sadoun installation calculator. negative elevation values mean below the horizon.
