Parked in FLORDIA
Early Evening.
Now if I wanted to I might be able to calculate the precise time but Well let's try about 20 degrees. so 2:20,, Might that be when you loose signal, Or perhaps later without doing a whole lot more math.
Orbiting at GeoSync altitude over the equator is a box, AMC-4 is the name of this box,, That is your DirecTV source. Normally works very well. However orbiting out at about 1 AU (Astromical Unit) is a bigger item.. Known as the SUN, and when the SUN lines up with AMC-4.. Your antenna goes blind.
Kind of like me going to supper the other night (Friday) driving towards said sun.. now I was able to control it, but it was blinding. (Without sun glasses) Sadly that won't help you
