I received this image earlier today from Mike along the coast but have waited until someone with good reception of the satellite could confirm the position (thanks Satesco). So around 0630 this morning while the skies were very clear with cold air to the east he locked a signal 8 'clicks' further east than 75E.
The TBS5927 does sometimes report incorrect modes and SNR on weak unstable signals so these can't be relied on but I doubt Crazyscan could falsely lock and report all of it.
Apstar is supposedly 0.1° elevation (not allowing for his HASL) although Satbeams shows the MENA beam terminating about 12KM east of here, presumably due to earth curvature. In total the lock LED locked three times so it does appear that given the correct conditions he can see 76.5E.
Have there been any other UK reports of this satellite?
