Thanks managed to pull 150 channels from 68.5 and 70.5 though no citizen tv, using 90CM - Loc: Limuru.
some slight improvement @ 68.5e/70.5 e ** Unjiru tv,Utugi tv,Elimu tv,Barmedas tv-TZ,Tv Imaan-Islamic swahili,Hadi tv-Islamic seahili and Natura-documentarys ...a possible replacement for $$$%wild if it deserts us.Citizen tv is stable.And all the ussual goodies Ktn,Gbs,Family tv-1,K24,Ebru Africa,and Channel Ten.
What is happenning to Dubai One channel on Nilesat?
It shows very strange programmes.
Meanwhile DW TV seems to have changed frequency on SES 5/ Astra 4A.

It has been 2 days of turning and twisting to no avail. I got my eyes on 38E 1R. Succeeded in assembling a Eurostar 1.8 PF (the many nuts and bolts that was! Anyway it was my first foray into the PF thing.) and mounting a 777 Supermax lnb. I have tried inserting the dielectric that came with the 777 in the 2 different positions inside the tube and also without it. Other gear included a Strong 4922 and Stargold digital satfinder together with a portable DVD screen.
Only managed to nail the Congo-Kinshasa mux on Rascom QAF 1R at 2.8 east just once (interesting to note that to my naked eye , the position where this was achieved seemed much further down, and thus far out to the East, compared with a nearby dish described below). Kept the azimuth steady hoping I had gotten Clarke's belt right, I have tinkered with the elevation slowly yet no other bird pops up and the finder remains silent.
Lucky I got a flat roof with no major obstructions. Infact my other set up has a 90cm pointed at Amos 5(main) with another lnb atop it receiving from SES 5 and both are fine. I have even tried to align the 1.8 PF dish with the 90cm offset on with negative results.
Question are; Do C-band dishes have their satellites reception alignment different in some way? If not, what could I be doing wrong house? Location; Kiambu county(Kenya), near Thika.

Managed to renew my B*in subscription online. Long procedure but at least paid $180. Trick was to register online after which I looked for a Dubai number where they sent a confirmation text to verify my account. I then loaded my Nakumatt Global card and renewed online.

Thanks a lot Ish-Nyeim and the rest of the house for the feedback. I will devote today to another try at it in the true spirit of ASAS, failure to which I would not mind a practical lesson( of course at my cost, but ASAS rates) from any forumer in the neighbourhood.I once got parksat with the dish flat on its support (that circular ring). I guessed 38 deg is directly above. Set your dish elevation then move it around slowly till that finder starts to cry (thats how i set mine).
