pas 7/10 viewers, my earlier observation concerning that signal loss at my station was caused by the port on the disecq switch where pas 7 is connected,it is presently faulty so what i did was just to change the pas 7 coaxial cable to another port. badaru thanks for the above suggestion u profered when u were around. my pas 7 signal has been up and running for the past 24 hours. thanks again.

@all
I am so sorry for the sudden dissappearance of your beloved thread for some hours, I apologise seriously for the mix up.

Etoo,
I think I got your point.The only problem I have with Enitan is the fact that he is highly controversial.I wish i could be quiet like mide2008,badaru and Adewest.sincerely,some of these quiet people would slaughter him if he should visit them.In fact,we discuss the campaign of calumny on echolink everyday.The bitterness is better imagined.They were just trying to avoid any confrontation with him.But come to think of it,I think both Enitan and I have kept this thread alive with the altercations and fish catching.He is one member that has impacted so much in my satellite life.He is to be kept at arms length over fish stuff.

badaru1,
I am sorry for the misunderstanding.Enitan got so many things wrong on the clone issue.the statement you copied from echolink has been discussed amongst Adewest,mide2008,and me.We all know about the technicalities of echolink but what got us annoyed was the insinuation that you can only be sure of getting a good one online,and the so many bad publicities Enitan gave it.Adewest has been using it and other systems like gamma card,irdeto card that opens DSTV on pas 10,for some years.So why wouldnt he be angry that somebody who has never used it is now making it look like it is risky.I have already posted how to avoid clones so what else do we need to say about it.sincerely,i am fed up on clones or no clones.if the echolink decides to stop  the system next month,I will never regret buying it.Life itself is a risk.And please tell him to stop getting you enemies on this thread with all the Master,Baba,Demi-god statements or badaru said this,badaru said that,or na badaru I go follow blindly.I hope he never dey do your laundries and cooking?please keep your daughters in the bedroom when he visits,i no trust am especially with the Psat channel he dey watch for your house.
I hope you no hurt yourself at folo's.Congratulations for the survival.I was on top of the building that sunday we were expecting you so i understand the danger you survived.

Enitan/baba eleye,
I 'll be back in Lagos at 3pm,take the news at 8 and 10pm Tuesday.please don't reply me on echolink.I have had enough.please direct all your queries to mide2008 and Adewest.I like your statement on me and the fence-sitting members.It seems a lot of members are afraid of confrontations ever since your verbal assault on me.didnt you notice Biggjoe's comment.I hope you don't scare people off.One member confessed to me that the incident made him to vow never to contribute,but you have to convince them that you are harmless.I am sure to kill you no go take 15 seconds for people like oga soldier but you get mouth and fishes jt no be small.

obnelly,
please put the Digisat on your Nilesat quickly and call me as soon as you are through with it.We need the result for the A beokuta installation.

all,
I wish we could all come together for Xmas.If you can get bigger dishes,the better for our discoveries especially Nilesat/Hotbird in the South generally.I believe 2009 will usher in more discoveries especially the Abeokuta experiment in a few days.The pole will be mounted on wednesday,to be commissioned by President Baba go slow Yar'Adua and Gov.Fashola.You are all invited.No menu ooo.
Where are you,Kemi Abuja,the only female member?

Let me agree with enitan on the issue of FTA. I believe showtime is not FTA. By FTA definition, one gets the channel as soon as one gets the right signal. It does not require any form of specialised receivers or patches. The factory settings of most of these specialised receivers 'cannot' open those scrambled channels unless you add a third party patch. The question is, if it is meant to be free, why does the company have to invest so much into scrambling those channels? Free means, free.

Let me also disagree with enitan about controversies on the forum. I believe if an issue that needed to be debated is raised, members that have knowledge on it should do as much as possible to share their opinion on it. I also believe that it is the way we do the criticism that generate these kind of heated arguments.

We have to be civil in the way we criticise or let use the word disagree with our fellow members. I have learnt my lessons from Adewest. One should have a way of saying to a fellow member 'you have a big nose' in a manner that may even attract a gift. And if we have it in our back of our minds that we are talking to the world, we can guide our utterances and keep our conversation sane.

I am so sorry for the sudden dissappearance of your beloved thread for some hours, I apologise seriously for the mix up.

What really happened? It really got me confused cause I moved through several pages and couldn't find it.

@toxnaija
I miss you too my brother. 

@all most especially enitan, tox, etoo (samuel?) et all
I hope we will all allow those heated arguments to rest.  We can not go on like this without getting at each others jugular.  Its like sitting on a keg of cordite and lighting a match. - I hope you can imagine. Merry Xmas & Happy New Year in advance.

Well, free to air or FTA is "free to air"! You are not paying to watch it and you should not need to hack (steal) it to watch it. Once it sees a dvb compliant receiver you can watch it.
If it is scrambled and requires any effort on your part to watch it, it is not FTA. No need to invent a new definition of FTA here.

@all

i had total loss of signal on my Nilesat installation. i had started trouble shotting when 45 minutes later, i realized that an overconfident spider had made the inside of my LNB it's Home.

No be small fight between us ooooooooo. I WON SHA!

@Toxnaija

Please don't take this issue personal,I only air my opinion base on what I read about the echolink online. What I said was"becareful when buying there are a lot of clone in the market". Right now some one brought one to my house for upgrade but we can't becouse it couldnot take the software and rigth now art is not working. So I didnt advice any one to buy here or there. Wether some one has been using gama card on dstv or not is not connected to the topic. I have been watchin dstv pas 7/10 for long am not new as far as satellite is concern. If you observe me very well I dont devote my time so much for fta,Am more interested on advance form of satellite. Who broke the arrival of echolink to the forum? Am not an expert as installation is concerned I just involve my self as a hobby. We are all here to acquire and pass knowledge let it stop at that

Obnelly

get in touch,I ve gotten the software

[color=#550000][/color] I think this is the time for us to count our blessings moreso when 208 is about to end, we should not give room for the devil to operate among us especially the rancour between my honourable friend enitan and the honourable nairalander pls let the argument rest. Instead lets move ahead and hope in God that 2009 we bring us good tidings and more discoveries . Yah, i dont know what is happening to my MSNBC is not showing instead TV Zimbo was on for a while and am missing the politics of America my wife loves this channel  so much ; so pls what must be done could it be that they have change from this bird. pls honourable nairalander gurus lets make research.I want your advice what birds can i switch to that is more interesting as regarding news sports movies etc appreciate your advice. Thanks jossybless Abuja.

Am alwayse happy to be here, i read this forum everyday now and alwayse with my teeth outside my lips most of the time. Its very livelly here. Even when we are not talking FTA its really lively. No other forum in niraland is as cool as this , think you guys need to be honour with a CFR national award too ( could it be FTA ?).

I really dont know wetin day sweet for the belle of all those awardeess and awaders. (u get what i mean?).

I can imagine the reading and research everyone have to do before coming here to let it out for others. We appreciate u all.

Enitan And the Fisherman( u know ur self), if you no find me real OBOKUN fish before the year runs out i will , ??ok ok i beg . If you chop alone you go die alone ooo Enitan.

For now i have nothing to contribute in the FTA world , am stuck with my 2 90cm dish (w3a, 7/10).

Keep up the good work. And ADEWEST is too cool abi u be gay?( na joke oo). You for don track down Enitan by now , and maybe chop off his little finger. Its all cool, the guy means no harm , , but he get big mouth. Na my friend oo ,

Love you all

@Pas7/10 viewers
has anyone noticed that OHTV has gone off air, i think they came on just to transmit the Holy Ghost congress, any opinions?

@ALL W3 viewers,

I just checked lyngsat and realised that MSNBC has been taken off the package for  Free2view.I guess  that's it for MSNBC @W3.Sorry guys we all need to find an alternative.

Badaru,
I think this statement of yours has finally laid to rest the issue of echolink-Please don't take this issue personal,I only air my opinion base on what I read about the echolink online. What I said was"becareful when buying there are a lot of clone in the market".
If Enitan had not added his spice,sincerely we would have been hailing him.He was sounding like you wrote-off the receivers in the market completely because you had problems with it.He mentioned you suggesting buying online only.If you remember,Adewest and I had always given hints on how to identify defective or cloned brands.so where did we go wrong or personal?please go through all he wrote on this and you would see why I sounded up-beat.I think people like you,mide2008 and Adewest should get back here fully to avoid your comments being given some colourations i.e.addition and subtractions.If you had written the warning yourself,this would not have come up.please pass your views across to everybody and not a few on the phone.It seems I am not on your frequency at all-no phone calls,no sms,no how u dey! I hope say you no dislike me for being too blunt.
I have had enough of this rancour,let us all move on to other projects.All i am waiting for is the Nilesat/hotbird experiment on 2.4m pan in a few days.
I like the humility in you-Am not an expert as installation is concerned I just involve my self as a hobby. We are all here to acquire and pass knowledge let it stop at that.On the breaking of echolink to the forum,I knew of it thru mide2008 and Adewest a few days before you mentioned it here but my grouse with these guys including you is that the three of you are too quiet for us guys looking up to you.You acquire valuable information but never talk about it immediately due to ur cool nature.I discovered so many things I had been trying to learn in 3 years in just 3 days with Adewest! I am sure there are much more to you than you write.Maybe I should come for internship at Xmas!

Enitan,
I am on my way to Lagos.I'll wait for you in the studio by 5pm.I am sure you would think it is an ambush for Udon't worry,na fishes go discipline Usee as u don turn me into fisherman.na God go judge u.I think justx24 should get a 2.4m for the almost 100 porn channels on Hotbird instead of wasting money on Psat cards.

obnelly,
how far with digisat on your Nilesat in Sagamu?

@all
abeg anybody knws where i can pick up a strong 4652 remote ctrl??

@Toxnaija

I hope you are ok now. I will try Hotbird signal on wednesday night to see the srength with my 2.4m. Text your no to me on 08066061677. The porn on hotbird are not up to 20 oooo.

badaru,
I can be reached 24/7 on 08023337877 except when I am on air.I hope you saw the message I modified.pls go thru the message I sent to u again.I am more than OK with the fresh breath of air you breathed with your reply.I will surely deal with that Engineer Ashawo/baba eleye when he comes to my studio.pls dont beg for him oooo.regards.

@Toxnaija

It is not that am quite on what I know,it is the rule of the house that we should becareful on the kind of info we pass to the forum. Although I have some reservations concerning that. Of the hundreds of forum I visited, I have never seen any that restrict someone from passing info except some bar you from pasting keys which is normal. ask pple that have met me face to face,I dont hide info. Infact if I assist to instal,I do it in such a way that you can do it yourself next time.

@Toxnija

Nice idea you give me about the real stuff. Will try and save some money to change base and maybe give it all a try , will a MESH 2.4 do the trick. Or must i opt for the pan , so i can get a sniff of the ultimate nilesat too? Anyway i no just want get ristricted to one channel, when i can have varieties, you are the oga, for this kind thing , KING FISHER, u know that bird. Good at fishing as well as flying. Oga u are too much ooo. Pls pass me some oo plssss, i beg you.

Baba no day vex oo, na old man , abi u no know? All is well in the house. We shld celebrate here , the peaceful atmosphere. We are all good.

justx24

@ tox, i just did my washing this morning and not dry yet and i dont have any spare cloth in my wardrobe. (make u no call me rough boy ooo) so i wont be ready for any fish today. You're still getting me wrong on echo,na wen i seé u i go spank u. @ olofofo,there's a head way on that issue mail me. An advantage to all on the google group.

@Enitan

@captainus

Long time no hear. I hope everything is cool with you.

@all

I still need the menu code for Skymaster DX22 / DX24. Any help?

@all

What are the chances of those of us in Accra picking Hotbird?

Badaru, i shall get in touch.
TOX i will do the stuff when i have time ,i can only get signals from west because my east is not that clear.so am thinking intelsat10-02,telstar and some satellite in the west .i shall keep you posted.

olofofo see what i did to my lnb when spiderman no let me rest.you may like it as well
pic1 is the spiderman
pic2 is how i prevented the spider .
hope u will find it useful

@obnelly

what exactly did you use to cover that LNB?
what about signal loss?

Enitan,
I know dat u go run from the ambush.anyway,i'll be back in the studio Friday evening.

justx24,
pls wait for my experiment before you start buying dishes.pan would be a better option.

new members and watchers,
pls check the past pages for any enquiry instead of the numerous calls anytime we put our numbers on the thread.I experience it anytime I put my number for other issues.I will be grateful if members could educate new members on how to surf thru past pages as I am not conversant with that.

hello guys, i can no longer receive etv and all the channels in that bird in pas 7/10. Does anyone have similar experience, or is it just me??  I hope they are not shutting that bird down like they did to msnbc on w3. ETV is about the only worthy channel on pas 7/10 for free oo. please guys i need to know if its general.

just as i was posting the message guess what!! the bird got signal. I know its from the source cos mytv signal was on. Thanks guys and welcome etv.

olofofo common nylon bread on the street is what i used and believe you me it doesnt affect the signal quality.check the date i took the picture that was my first experiment on spider and lnbf since then i havent experience loss or break in signal quality.
where exactly do i cut that digisat ku, because i havent cut it and i achieved great result if cut greatest result should be expected.
I pray showsport and cnn come up and if it doesnt well i have learn the lesson .its part of experinece .life is a game we win some we loss some.

Hello house,

Sorry for the looooong absence. how una dey? I dey gbadun una no be small. I always do catching up whenever I come online but have not been posting since there is nothing in the 90cm league. So where do I start now? ok

@tox9ja

Gr8 u have Izap. The Izap s only better than MTN f@stlink in term of aquisition cost and unlimited data allowance. For pple who would want to make a choice, you can have this as a decision guide

1. Mtn initial cost is 35,500, Izap is 11,000 i think
2. Mtn data could be as high as 2.5mbps while Izap struggles with 512kbps
3. You can transfer up to 3gb data (up and download) with your monthly subscription while Izap is unlimited
4. MTN subscription is 10,000 for 3gb or 1 month (whichever comes first) while Izap is 15,000 no data restriction
5. MTN has a daily offer of 500 naira for 5mb and some other packages too i cant readily remember while Izap has 15,000 for monthly, 7,000 for 9am to 9pm and 5,000 for 9pm to 9am
6.mtn switches btw edge and gprs where the former is broadband and the later is just gprs at 53kbps while izap swtiches btw evdo and 1x. these switch b both net work depend on specific service coverage area.
7. in term of beter service coverage, i would give it to starcomms. i would also give to them better customer care. be sure to find out if the better service of every network is withing your principal usage area to avoid been frustrated.
8. what applies to mtn applies to glo except that glo cost 19,000 for aquisition and has better customer service than mtn.

@all

Now to second topic. Having patiently gone through the posts all this months and nearly died of jealousy of those nilesat pple in da house and having realized I dont have space for bigger dish, I finally decided to join the semi nilesat league at least for the movies, I went to discom and aquired their DVB-c receiver and honestly I am not regretting it. My advise to fellow nairalanders in the 90cm leaue is to go get it if u are within discom coverage are. U wont regret. these are some of the channels I have -
BBC
CNN
ALJHAZERA
PRESS TV
SKY NEWS
CNBC AFRICA
MBC2
MBC4
MBC MAX
MBC ACTION
MBC PERSIA
FOX MOVIE
DISCOVERY
CARTOON NETWORK
SPACETOON
B4U
CCTV
MUSIC PLUS
TRACE TV
YOTOMI
BLAST TV
OYORIMA
CINETREND
ARIYA
DOVE
LOVEWORLD
ETC. There are 47 in all anyway

@all

I once posted on this thread the problem free2view had with S.A authority and i remembered expressing my fear that msnbc might not last on that bird considering that issue. I hope the inability to view msnbc is not a fall out of the free2view-S.A Authority problem. Unfotunately nigeria could not do something right. imagine our Nigcomsat falling out of orbit due to power failure. Theºannoying part is that Nigcomsat boss had the effontary to yarn crap in one of the dailies saying sat failure is not a new thing and not peculier with 9ja. I hope he realised how much 9ja sunk in there and will need to still sink in some more to ensure the failed sat do no destroy other sats in orbit. na wa ooo.

@ everybody

keep up d good work

@eniitan and toxco

I dey gbadn u guys. toxco u no y eni has so much busting in him, you have not done what u are supposed to do - get him a calabar fish to drain out those excess energy. him no go get power to type again. I swear. LOL
