In both cases you would be at the mercy of atmospheric conditions. Both signals are so far below the horizon that the signal would be available only when the conditions cause helpful reflections off of the layers of the atmosphere.

I am not aware of any consumer grade parabolic UHF antennas on the market... Wade offers a commercial product. Because you're dealing with a path that changes dramatically and frequently, I would not expect the largest parabolic array to provide reliable reception. http://www.wade-antenna.com/Wade/uhfparabolic.pdf
