Morn all

A picture could really help because i think you are using Cband on Offset. Please upload.

The easiest is to upload into the stb using a flash. Otherwise, if you want to manually key them in and are using one of the latest SW patches (3.3. series), go to Installation>Patch Menu>Manual Key Ok> then look for them under SECA. You can add, edit, delete them there. (NB: I am not near the stb so, I could have erred in some of the above menu names, but that's the path)

Please confirm HBO @68.5 is opening on 4950h

Whats your other gear when targeting 7e

location; kericho, 130cm offset, openbox v8,
already managed African beam...One with hustler on cbs. but eurobeam proves to be difficult with this ordinary lnb.

That was last night though. I uploaded a s"ftc*am that did the trick. Previously I was only able to open C en en.

I envy your location you should be getting it, try an LNB with a lower noise level maybe Starlife 0.1db. Also try skewing the LNB or change it altogether but in your location you should more than get it.

But since its fringe satellite reception you can't compromise on a good LNB

In Nairobi,Kenya. Using 180cm Eurostar prime focus with two LNBs 76e center attached down IS-20.

What is the make of your LNBs please for both setups? I managed to get 3974 H&V only on IS20 with my Eurostar 777 and nothing on Apstar with 180cm dish. Will appreciate tips so that I can swing back my gear..

Satmates, of these sats - IS 20, Apstar 7 and Eutelsat 7E which one offers more for family entertainment ie tv shows, movies documentaries sports? etc. Which one should one go for if all of them were within reach but only a single 180cm offset satellite dish is availlable?

What is this LNB you are calling ordinary? Samson or Eurostar or what? In kericho, any LNB is good to trap 7e.

They are all good. I recommend that you add two c-band lnbs and combine IS20 and Ap7 and you will be home and dry. But you will need something called power to view (pvu) to get the goodies on these two birds. E7A is good but it is of course quite far from the other two and quite elusive with a 180cm. See what I mean here:
Apstar 7 at 76.5°E - LyngSat
Intelsat 20 at 68.5°E - LyngSat
Eutelsat 7A at 7.0°E - LyngSat
Happy hunting

Tv shows? If you mean food, fashion etc try 7E (If you are in Langas Eldoret, the better), you will get good documentaries from animals to history.... and plenty of cartoons/kids channels but no movies to talk about. Apstar very good for documentaries and yes, tv shows. IS 20 can is also good.You dish is 180cm prime focus is it?
