What do you want to receive ... C Band/ KU Band Circular or linear (R/L or H/V) or all of them...

If it is KU Band you are aiming for you can use 36e (only 1 degree to the east) and the Multichoice Africa channels ... you will not get a picture without a card and only one clear radio channel.... but it will let you set up the start of your arc and done properly from the start... all the other satellites will come in OK.
(I would avoid 35e because it is off arc- inclined I think).

for linear KU

try 36e ...

12399H ...SR=26480 (apid 465 = audio for the French radio audio) very strong..

You can work it out from there, Eutelsat @ 35E would be your true north, but I dont know if you can receive any signal from it at your location. You could use some of the sats either side of it like 32.8E, 33E, 36E, 39E etc. Use whichever is closest to your true north where you can receive a signal.
