A 20" dish to receive C-Band is pretty small. I would say a minimum 6'.
And you will need an LNB with linear polarity.
Your location shouldn't be a problem, so long as you have a clear view
pretty much straight to the south. I live not too far from St. Louis
and T5 is almost dead south from here.
Not familiar with the Pantec, but BYUTV is a fairly strong, mainstay
signal. Any reasonable MPEG DVB receiver should be able to receive it
as long as it's programmed right.
Take care,

God bless the USA
