Russian Channels Cline + East Africa Reception

[AlvinUg]

Hey, I was just wondering about why test line that I got that has russian channels is not showing anything and yet my satellite dish is pointed at 36.0E on Eutelsat as required. How come I cant get any picture or channels
When I use telnet everything seems fine connection to the server n all.

I wonder if you can get Russia channels as the Russian Footprint is far from Africa;



Unless you have a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig dish.

to view the Russian channels satellite 36е you need to have and install the satellite dish LNB with circular polarization

Entire 36E Russian chnnels from Tricolor and NTV+ except Tricolor HD chnnels are opened pretty fine with Satlover's servers c-lines, but these transponders work in Circular polarization,so:
To watch these channels you need circular LNB
Also, African and Russian beams have very different destinations, so if you are in Africa, you will need larger, maybe about 1m dish to watch Russian channels.
But
You won't like them anyway, for almost all these channels are broadcasted in Russian language only

Well this insight has been good, will then have to settle for DSTV packages and forget these Russian NTV and Tricolor TV for Africa but would like to know which other packages would be viewable other than DSTV especially East Africa.

Platforma HD (9E) died 1st of july,2012. Now I only watch iConcerts and MyZen from 9E. Last some years Satlover c-lines cleaned platformaHD/SD pretty good, but failed with NTV+ and Tricolor. Now when there's no Platforma, Satlover (God blessed him) helps me to watch 36E for free.
