My System: Strong Reciever Model 4620
Introduction: And a few initial really stupid questions. Please bear with me

Hello There :
My name is Radio,I am from Canada and am deployed in Iraq. Back home in Toronto I was very familliar with B-everly and D-north. ( those of you with experience here im sure know what that means. I used the Viewsat Extreme and am lost without it. When I arived here I realized that there is no way for me to recieve those particular signals because Iraq is Below the Horizon. I really Miss my NHL. I recently bought a Strong Technolgy Unit model SRT 4620 II. Im reallyu having a hard time figuring out how to make it work like a viewsat works back home on the other sat feeds. I have been looking around but cant seem to figure out what I should point at. I had my sister send me my eleyptical dish here with my disec and I have gotten a signal from Nilesat on port A(1) and Hotbird on Port 2(B). I still have 2 more ports and was wondering as an english user what would be best to try and reciev now. I know these are probably really dumb questions but Its a totally new experience with these new sat's and setups. I just need to familliarize myself with the process and what is best. I tried searching around in the forums which are excellent but I cant quite figure out how and where to manually enter keys and. I know I can get into the keys entry area by pressing 4 buttons and when it opens I have no idea where to go from there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. By the way is there a paid members forum here somewhere? I cant seem to find it but am interested to any reccomendations you all may or may not have
