Sequito, Your 3ft dish will be able to pick up a 110w satellite well, and also 119w when it's not raining or very cloudy. Those are from Dish network. You won't be able to pick both on one single 3 ft dish, but you can buy another 3 or 4ft dish to have 110w and 119w satellites.
Your best option would be nfusion satellite receiver, sells for about 7,000 and up (depending on model) and you can buy it online from authorized reseller or here in the DR in PP area from authorized reseller Dominican Republic Satellite - Sat?llite en La Republica Dominicana - DRSatellite.tv - make sure you buy Solaris, phoenix, or HD unit, and NOT a Nova (no longer supported). You will get over 300 English channels including networks (NY locals) + premiums, etc. You can get the complete list of channels playing here: Dummy Chat Forum Support Site status P.S. Don't buy from ebay, and always buy from authorized reseller, so you get a receipt. Always check out the reseller status and his number at www.nfusionteam.com - otherwise you run a risk of buying a clone and thus, having no TV.
You will need a 24/7 Internet connection (cable, satellite, DSL, mobile) so your receiver can pick up codewords every 30 seconds - but you do not need much bandwidth for this (in a month it's less than 10 MB when watching TV 24/7).
Also, you will need a Diseqc swicth if you use more than one LNB, and cabling. So if you bring your 3ft dish (costs about 3,000 pesos here) plus buy one more, plus receiver cabling, etc. plus installation you will run at about 15k pesos.
My friend can do you a very professional installation but you have to plan ahead so when he is in SD he could do the job for you. Otherwise you would need to pay travel. He works well and is not expensive. He knows his job (doing FTA since he was 15 ys old, and he was also the director of cable company) - so he for sure knows how to point a dish quickly and efficiently. Installing dishes and looking up the weirdest of weirdest hard-to-find satellites is a hobby for him.
