Just to clarify any possible confusion: Row 1 is F. There is no cutout in Row 1, except the space in front of 1B might qualify as one. Even still, I don't think you can stow anything there.

The first row of E+ is Row 7. There is a cutout in which you can also stow your carry-on, and there is plenty of room especially because no one in front is reclining into you.

FWIW, were I planning to watch Directv, I will avoid Rows 1 and 7 because the personal monitor is fixed on the bulkhead.
