RTP Africa is beamed to Africa not North America. Sorry.
RTP international is available in AMC4 and they have programing at late night from RTP Africa.

First. RTP Africa is on C Band. That would require a big dish (at least 6 feet +). Second (and I am guessing since I don't have C band), RTP Africa is on a East Hemi beam. East Hemisphere beam doesn't come close to North America since we are in Western hemisphere
