Well

I don't know what you were trying to post but have removed it, do not post live links and you have no chance for those birds in west Africa unless you have between a 3.5 and 5 mtr dish

Here's a thread on a nigerian board with hundreds of posts about satellite reception: _http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-242036.832.html

I doubt that anybody here can give precise information on if 16E/28.5E is possible in your area.

I demand: Pay-TV subscriptions worldwide available - with any receiver - just like print magazines !
