L/R polarity with LNBF and Euro 2004

I've been living in Congo for a while and latched my LNBF (dual
polarity, V/H and FTA receiver) for PAS-10, arabsat, afristar and
other satellites. So far, I didn't have any problem with vertical and
horizontal polarity. But now, when I was trying to get "Canal Algérie"
for watching Euro 2004 game in NSS-7 satellite, found the frequency to
be Right polarized. My LNBF has also a "dielectric plate" into the
throat of the feedhorn which I didn't use so far. After googling for a
while I figured out that it is possible to receive right polarized
signal in negligeble loss with that dielectric plate placed 45 degree
to the normal. Now, can you please tell me the angle position of those
2 V/H antennas for getting Right polarized signal? I've been trying
for 4 days. The games are slipping by.

Well, do you know any satellite tv station (V/H) carrying Euro 2004
for free over Africa? That will be a great help for me.

Thanks in advance.
