Got to admit, most my channel watching is on C band, but for ku I'd suggest AMC 21 @ 125W<<Requires a DVB-S2 receiver. 101W SES1 Pentagon Ch. 83W AMC9 RTV mux, 101W AMC1**<<for more than the beach cam you'll also need a DVB-S2 receiver.
BTW: Universal Ku lnbf are 9750-10600, What receiver?
**AMC1 Ku skew is ~25° CW, from where it should be, when facing the dish face.

You're in the right forum 
In addition to FaT Air's suggestions, you can get CCTV (one news channel and one documentary channel in English) on 95W. A DVB-S2 receiver would really help you on Ku-band (you get a lot of PBS stations and feeds on 125W, some programs often before your local station airs them). If you had to stick to DVB-S and one satellite, I'd probably just go with 97W. Yes, most of it is religious or foreign language programming, but you can get good English language programs on KTV2 and Ebru TV. From time to time, you'll also see some programs on NITV and Oman TV!

Depends what kind of programming you like (occasional or full time). All I know from your request is you don't like international channels so we need to find out more what your tastes are.
Yep that is where my 1.2 Meter is pointed at, since I really don't care about the NBC feeds.
The problem is, the OP only has a DVB-S receiver, and 125W is mostly (I think completely now) DVB-S2.
Still waiting to hear what sort of programming you are looking for.
Living in Orlando, I would assume you have all the network, PBS , and independent channels already.
(I certainly do, here in Los Angeles)
One thing you might not have heard about is the satellite at 30 west.
While most programming is Spanish, out of Cuba, on weekend nights they run new American DVD movies.
They're in English, but they turn on Spanish subtitles.
You'll have to find a thread with more details; that bird is too far east for me to receive.
I like 30W for Cubavision and 83W for RTV. If you had a dvb s-2 receiver I'd say 123W for the PBS channels.
Right now, my favorite FTA satellite would be a 3-way tie between 125W for PBS, 103W for NBC, and 30W for the cinema fare.
that describes pretty much all of KU-Band satellites,
if you want good english programming you need c-band
