With that elevation,(also one degree!) it looks to be damn near
impossible to get those satellites unless yer dish is on top of a very
tall skyscraper.
On there home page, just click on "america" on the "packages" line, and
see what could be available....unless you have already done that.
Also
http/www.lyngsat.com/freetv/Spain.shtml shows a bunch of stuff
that "might" be broadcast over the internet, but I can't read Spanish,
so yer on yer own there as well.
Sorry I can't help you out further.
