The 3-foot dish is likely a Ku FSS dish, and it will receive
linearly-polarized signals in the 11.7 - 12.2 Ghz range.

The 6-foot dish is likely a C-band dish, and it will receive
linearly-polarized signals in the 3.7 - 4.2 Ghz range.

You can go to www.lyngsat.com to get an idea of what channels
are being transmitted.

You'll need to find out if the dishes are fixed in position or
if they have motors that can reposition the dish under receiver
control.
