SatMex - Yes
Solidaridad 2 - Yes
PAS 3R - No (Too near or below horizon)

Even in San Diego the Elevation is only 4.6.

Thank you guys.
I have another quick questuion.
Can i use the DISH Pro 500 Antenna to get "SatMex" or i need the 30' antena?

You need a lot of real estate for a 30-foot antenna!

Yes, you need a Ku-band dish (30 or so inches) for the Ku channels (5-digit frequencies), or a C-band dish (6 feet or more) for the 4-digit frequencies.

You would also have to change the L.O. settings in antenna set up screen if you change LNB's

KU band LNBF L.O.= 10750
DBS LNB L.O.= 11250

Most of the FTA on SatMex 5 is C-Band and Solidaridad 2 is only C-band, so you'll need a large dish. 10 foot would be optimal.

but if he doesnt have the real estate, a 30" minimum dish is needed

But not for what the original poster wants to receive.
