I was in Industrial Area here in Kampala over the weekend when I noticed these dishes
on the building where the New Vision has its printing facilities for their various newspapers
like NV, Bukedde, Etop, Rupiny etc.

Thanks Vicwa for this fine clarification.... We are done. Better start looking for alternatives.

I think when I get space I'll add a 130cm offset for 7a and use the current 90 cm for SES 5 and maybe combine multiple lnbs to nab additional sat's.

BTW what's the difference between 130cm and 150cm in signal strength? is 150 cm overkill? the price difference is huge.

I've read some ASAS afflicted guys spend 250k+ on dishes and gear!!!

Star: I hear from those who have tried that you can combine 7a (7e), SES 5 (5e) and 7W in that 130cm. I can't wait to try this when I get mine (still stuck in Luthuli)

This is not good news at all! So that means we need to start bird hunting again, those of us who were stuck on 7A?

Guys I finally acquired the famed srt 4950h (6k @ Fecom). I am new to the world of FTA. Having acquired the box I have no clue where to start. Can someone please give a short step by step tutorial on how I can track a satellite and recieve some channels. Or please refer me to a manual that already exists. I am in Eld by the way. My decoder is hooked to a 90cm dish with a universal lnb in the dstv position(its a dstv dish). Thanks in advance.

Langas: as you have been advised, the best option is to read the previous posts. That's where we all started. After you get the gist, start with the easiest birds to nab like SES 5 which is an African beam. Our Maths teacher used to tell us to solve the sums, from the known, to the unknown. That's how you will find x easily. Good luck

ASAS mates,
Who is showing UCL tonight? It seems our brothers from down South aren't showing the matches and the others who used to air them in French threw the keys in the ocean. Or have they cut new ones and has anyone come across them?

From experience, you'll only get 7W if the lnb is at the focal point. If not, then you'll get 7.3W.

I lost BBC knowledge.

Some time last month I'd read of a plan to cease BBC Knowledge transmissions (it already ended in Poland in Feb. 2015) in April 2015 and replace it with BBC Earth. Perhaps this is it.

From experience, you'll only get 7W if the lnb is at the focal point. If not, then you'll get 7.3W.

I have in the past managed to nab 5e and 7e on a 90cm offset using a normal lnb. I nabbed 7e first and lowered the dish a little bit to nab 5e. What I could not get was 7w with an additional lnb, guess due to the dish size.
