I live in So Cal, (zip 91320) and I want to know if I get a setp with Telstar 18 at 138.0°E to get STAR ASIA SPORTS AND ESPN TAIWAN, BOTH FTA per LYNGSAT. Has anyone already have this set up? Are you able to watch these channels?

You're on the wrong side of the globe for that bird.
 
Surprisingly, that question does come up every few months.
But as said above, those birds are on the other side of the planet.
All satellites visible to us, are in the 30ºW to 160ºW (give or take a little)....
.... with the big emphasis on the W (west).

Take a look at these two lists for what you can get on this side of the planet...
FTAlist.com
Global-CM

Here is a nice (new) aiming calculator.
Put in your city (or zipcode) and it'll give you a full list of all the birds you can see.
Keep your sights on satellites more than 20º above the horizon, for best success.

-your mileage may vary-
