How to find narrowcast programs

Background:

Finding B3

The B3 satellite is located at 152 degrees longitude. It’s not very far away from the C1 satellite, which is located at 156 degrees longitude. To find the B3 satellite, if you are already set up on C1, simply move the dish approximately 10 degrees west and elevate 1degree.
