Yes you can get loads of channels betting that your dish size is 90cm,you just have to realign your dish to another satellite that would require a sat meter,or an android app or an FTA enthusiast who is willing to help for the first time before you start hunting on your own.There are hundreds of channels to watch.Ama uende Jamii forums from page one. http://www.jamiiforums.com/tech-gad...lite-world-and-sat-gear-651.html#post12479812

Since the dish is not easily accessible mostly being at the roof, how do you keep jumping the position while tracking different sats.

Three options: go there physically and move it, motorized the dish, or change its location to a more accessible place.

One dish can have more than one LNB, all at different positions and with different programming. For instance, a dish with Nilesats, SES-5 & Amos 5 will have movies, news, documentaries, some local channels and sports.

A 'silly' question here.

Does such a decoder nab the local channels- kbc, ntv, Njata. . ?

As I've always said, Kenyan channels are scattered all over the place in different satellites like Intelsat 902/904, Eutelsat 5 West, etc unlike the Tanzanian ones for instance that are all in one position. Recently, a few have appeared at Eutelsat 70B and they seem to be coming online polepole, one at a time. We're hoping this heralds a new Kenyan mux at one location. Only time will tell.

If you want to nab them as seen on Signet, you may wanna invest in a decoder with multi-stream capabilities.
