Ahem..... I stand corrected Señor North...
Of course! - Great solution, Digital Terrestial Reception, assuming of course that you are close to one of the - what is it - 6 - digital terrestial transmitters in Kenya. I think quite a few people on this site who live in Kenya acutally live in areas which at the present time are not able to get DTT, DVBT signals from SIGNET or any of the allied providers, and they are searching for a low cost, preferably free, way of getting the standard Kenya mix from a Satellite transmission. Unfortunately, they do not find it easy! Hence they are keen to see what the possibilites are on satellite. DVBS2
If the main aim is to get the Kenya Mux, NTV, Citizen, K24 etc, it might be more cost effective, but admittedly not in the true spirit of ASAS, to just slip across the border to Tanzania, grab one of the new AZAM Decoders and viewing cards with a years subscription, the whole thing will cost you less than Kshs 10,000, bring it back to Kenya and connect it up to your dish aimed at 10E and the Azam Channels. All of the Kenyan Broadcasters are together there, except KBC I think.
There is a saying, "do not run before you can walk". I agree with the advidce, go for Nilesat 201 and Eutelsat 7W, those sats have 800 channels, 100 or so mostly in english language, great sports, movies etc. BUT, if you are new to the ASAS game, with only a 90cm dish, you are going to have a challenge to nab that bird! - perhaps you are very clever and very lucky and it will all come together. My advice would be first of all, walk before you run, try to tune Eutelsat 7A at 7 degrees East. This is fairly close to Nilesat 201 etc, so you will not need to change your set up by very much. Sure, the channels you will get FTA on 7A are not as great as on Nilesat 201, Eutelsat 7W, but they are watchable, Muvi TV from Zambia, Mauritus TV, often with good coverage of English Premier League (I think). The bird at 7E is easy to nab with a 90cm dish in Nairobi. Once you have done that, you will feel you have accomplished something, watch channels from Zambia and Mauritius and feel good, gain confidence! - then , slowly and carefully shift your small dish upwards very slightly and try to get Nilesat 201, Eutelsat 7W, and tune in over 700 channels!

My friend I tried nabbing both Nilesat and Eutelsat 7w but ended up nocking only Nilesat 201 ,I don't know what and where was my mistake with a 135 cm offset dish. Show me how should I move on .Location Dar es salaam.
Yeah... too bad BEin1 & 2 were also encrypted !!All those ASAS friends who were busy deleting or putting in passwords to avoid the 'Hustler' XXXXX channel showing up on Eutelsat 7A need not worry any more. That channel is now encrypted!
