Selekta 90cm dish cannot nab Eutelsat 16 in Nakuru. Satellite footprints shows that you require atleast 110cm offset satellite dish to nab it.

Am receiving it in Embu using 120cm offset dish. Use tp 11024H Symbol rate 3330 to track it.
Happy hunting.

As a matter of fact am in Nakuru, receiving Eutelsat 16a all tps ie tvc news, 11295h45000 and french channels on 10804h30000. Dish size 90cm Eurostar.

For those on yahsat is it worth swinging my dish from 7w to yahsat? how is it with movies? Gem tv any good?

Yahsat has the same (mbc & co.) and more, a member updated us that there are new channels on this sat. If you are able 'swing it' and keep us updated.

Have you patch your decoder?

I learnt its not as easy to nab like Nilesat. You need a 130cm and above to get a stable signal but the goodies are worth the effort. If you have the right equipment "swing" like yesterday.

Which LNB are you using? Try a low noise LNB i had tried a EUROSTAR twin 0.5db but failed managed with Starlife 0.1db.

Actually, I am using a Eurostar 0.5dB LNB with 90cm dish to track it...perhaps will need to invest in the Inverto Ultra then try again. Thanks Giden.

Thanks Katiklo for the info...will try that TP to track it.

Hey Kibet, that's great news! Does those french channels include boom*rang*, C**toon N**tw*rk, N*t Ge*o, the ones for See Afrika?

 

[regiment jey]

in a country like kenya, dstv is the only one with rights to broadcast live sport. so owning a bein decoder in Kenya is illegal. let alone using it to watch live sport. Mwisho was bein ni Sudan. It is legal there

Why is k24 airing live serie A match every weekend in Kenya and beyond for free if dstv has all the right in world to broadcast sport in Kenya? Just food for thought.

 

[Pitawin]

Simply,dstv has no right to broadcast Bundesliga na Serie A this session!
They decided to drop may due to most Africans prefering Premier league and La liga

I think he just missed the right phrase English football rights are exclusive to Multichoice in Sub saharan Africa.

Also suffering from same problem thus Is20 appears unattractive to me😀. Only for that hiccup its a good box with a very sensitive tuner. All sellers promising stock on the way so lets be patient enough
