I'm trying to find HOTBIRD 1,2,3,4,6 (13.0E). What elevation should the dish be at? I live in the South East.

Nice calculator: http://www.satsig.net/ssazelm.htm

Throw in the satellite orbit (+13°E for Hotbird), your latitude and longitude in degrees (Find your latitude and longitude) and it will calculate the elevation, azimuth and polarisation angles. Write 'em down and get to work positioning your dish!
