The problem is that the satellite might be out of view, just barely,

At this time of year the sun is roughly in the same position as the
constellation of satellites for Freesat/Sky etc about 0920 GMT (1020
BST)(*). Anywhere that is clearly sunlit at that time should be able
to see the satellites. Dish mounts do let you peek a dish around a
corner.

(*) Fairly sure I've got the time right, if I haven't some one will
no doubt correct me.
