You'll be able to get Canalsatellite-Reunion and Parabole
Reunion.

But if you're looking at getting Kanal-Austral, it's not worth it
as it's only on at about 5am-8am. The content (last I checked)
resembled handcam filming a live band - it's an island music
channel.

The problem: Your dish size is probably too small.
Try this link, nice picture giving dish sizes.

A 3m Winegard works in PE. I used a 3.5m dish.

To get the tilt of your LNB
