You are begining to over exergrate. Osavuwaza nyo! While there was color TV courtsey, Mpoma satelight, the package did not come with "international TV chanels" I know that for a fact because we had one. The only international programs were the Live boxing match between Mohamed Ali and George Foreman in Kinsansha former Zaire and the Live coverage of the State funeral of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya, in Nairobi. I remember watching both programs and they were clearly in Black & White.
Lets try another "mulindwaism" otherwise, this won't cut it.

While the continent was still on black and white analog television, Amin had already migrated to digital by 1975.
The Mpoma satellite communications station, situated in Mukono district, provided crisp color television (with international TV channels), and crackle-free international telephone calls. Today many homes who can afford it have their own portable satellite television from private companies. But at the time, Mpooma was like having a satellite dish for the entire country's TV viewers.
Have Amin's successors ever credited him for constructing this facility?
Satellite telecommunication facilities like Mpooma also had Uganda's first modern computers, and were operated by the best overseas-trained Ugandan technicians.
These are significant development-oriented Field Marshal Idi Amin technological projects established to advance the country and serve all the people of Uganda.
