Hi Mtuko2 what is your location Paksat should not be a problem the signal is strong enough on 1.8m prime focus dish.I managed to track Multi tv,Arabsat 5c and Paksat on one dish 1.8 prime focus.I made the KU LNB to be primary in order to reduce the degree difference btn Paksat and Arabsat 5c at 20E.What is your signal strength on Yahsat I am looking forward to track it.

Thank you for that info Permie. I wonder why my levels are so much lower than yours?, what LNB are you using?

Hallo there. Is anyone receiving ETV Africa FTA.

Hi Northumberland, am using samson twin lnb

Thanks very much Kungu, I have downloaded the files, but I wonder if you would be kind enough to explain in a little detail how to actually go about flashing those files to the reciever, start by unzipping, right?

Hey Kungu1, I also wanted to ask the same thing.........
Thanks

Thanks. I am using an Inverto Black Premium twin LNB that seems pretty good. Dont know what else could be weakening my signal, checked carefully, and it does not seem there are trees in the way - perhaps the dish is bent or something
