@pitodenz>> The PC Suite I downloaded from nokia web lack some important features and this led to my problems in configuration settings. Well,my research is on-going. I will lay my hands on the version you quotated above. Thanks for your concerns. @biggjoe>> Thanks for your contribution. @maddox>> My people,where is this man

@all and broucher

i did his installation for him and i have been sitting back laughing my arse off with all the responses to his post.

Hotbird has all the TP avialable on almost every other satellite. that is the reason for the confusion.

how can anyone seriously receive nilesat on 90cm dish?

HILARIOUS!!!

@olofofo,
You're doing a good job. Pls keep spreading the knowledge around.

olofofo x3,
how many times did i call u?

I have noticed you enjoy this sort of thing Why didnt you come in all this while and clear him on his confusions.

Did I mention watching Royal Rumble Live on show cinema Early Morning yesterday. It was magical.

@bigjoe

no mind broucher. i tried explaining it to him on the phone, but he was too excited to understand. meanwhile, am curious as to his discovery that dstv decoder was opening JSC +4. someone should look into that. except maybe he is mistaken again?

@ Olofofo
my request is still pending on the gmail group

All jsc+ are down for strong

@ Olofofo

You need to go to the guys house to confirm wether jsc is working on dstv decoder. I think he is getting the signal from his nile dish. If 90cm will get nile in lagos then 1.8 will astra 19 degree

Baba Egun,

Congrats on your echolink, that decoder turns watching satellite television into a whole new experience. just imagine how many packages it can open? i am presently motorizing my 1.8m dish so i can get the orbit packages on eurobird 2 in addition to my art/showtime packages.
Anyways, i imagine u and ur family fighting over what to watch, you football, your madam the series channels/E, your kids the cartoon channels, very soon, there will soon be civil war in your place. with this decoder, PHCN becomes your greatest enemy in life.

Nash FTA,

Talking about PHCN (Power Holding Company of Nigeria), i recently bought a big generator set, but it still gets tiring going out to switch it on everytime the power supply goes, so i remembered our previous conversation about UPS, and since the generator had a battery charging port, i bought a 62AH 12V battery and connected it to my pretty old Blue gate UPS (rated 600VA), and the thing works beautifully, no problems of over heating so far, the only problem is that i use up more power from the battery than i am able to recharge it with, using a multimeter, i determined that the UPS only charges the battery with 0.2Amps, while the generator charges it with 0.8amps, while using my TV and one of the receivers uses up about 5amps so what i ended up with is putting the battery into a car everytime it runs too low, so that it charges up appreciably. At the moment, i am scouring the net looking for a circuit diagram for a 12v battery charger that can supply between 4 to 10amps of steady current for charging, while being able to switch to trickle charging after it becomes almost fully charged (i know u are going to say why don't i just buy a charger, problem is i have searched for one but can't find, so i guess i have to build one up from scratch.)

Enigma/Big Joe,

I said i was going to go and trouble shoot that receiver to receiver lnb connection and see what comes up, well, i got home and hooked up the Echolink to the wire from the diseqc, and then took out another connection from the Echolink to the Strong receiver, and voila, the thing started working, moving from channel to channel, i discovered that when the stong is taken to a V channel, H channels on theEcholink refuse to come on, and vice versa. but generally, the connection is manageable for watching my precious football. (i just saw Badaru post that strong no longer opens the jsc sports channels, well, it was fun while it lasted)
By the way Enigma, the problem with living in a box is that it is very difficult to think outside it, i probably would never hav thought out a way to use a quad lnb with a diseqc if u hadn't mentioned that. but i dont need that any more, like i mentioned i am going to have 2 dishes soon one a motorized and the other a fixed dish so each one will use a seperate receiver (everyone has been asking 'what sane person needs 2 1.8m dish at once?).

Broucher

Talking about Jsc sports, there is actually no JSC +1, +2, +3 or +4 on badr sat, just the normal 1 and 2, while on Hotbird, there is no JSC +4 on hotbird, so if are watching JSC +4, then it is only from Nilesat. check your wire connections. (all the info qouted above are from lyngsat, so i might be mistaken).

Beowulf,

If your get around to reading most of the thread, u will see that i have ties to Makurdi, Benue state, u can check my previous posts to see all the posts relevant to your quest. i installed nilesat there with a 1.8m dish, although there were some problems with the dish itself. you could click on my username and you will get to see most of posts. DSTV receivers cannot be used for watching FTA channels, but haven said that, there might be a way to get around that that we are not aware of, so keep reading. the strong 4652 receiver is okay, Badaru swears by it for installation, and you can get patches for it, just search around the thread and u will find links.

Xwallace,

u can use the fuji lnb to complete nilesat package at Nsukka with a 2.4m dish. What u need is patience.

Olofofo My man,

Nice to see you are also installing all around now, keep up the good work.

Toxnaija,

How body?

@obnelly,
Am in Abuja. am not too far from dubai!

@enitan,
I'm glad to see back and kicking strong. Welcome. Did you say you plan to visit us here in the
south-south? I hope you're not joking o? Anyway, if true then you are highly welcome anytime.
It will surely be a pleasure to have you in our midst.
And, contrary to what you think, I hold no grudges against you. What would I gain from doing
that? I can't remember any wrong you have done me. And if at all you wronged me without my
knowledge, I forgive you Afterall, if I can forgive those who chose to insult me when I was
congratulating them and advising them, how much more you that have done nothing wrong?

@martinlala

try contribute something usefull here instead of chasing after thr group.


@ecowas4all

mail me , olofofo(at)gmail.com

@gangsta

what's the point in gathering knowledge, if you can not put it into practical use?

[QUOTE AUTHOR=broucher]Hello Comrades!

My name is broucher and i just acquired a 2.4m meter strong dish thru olofofo and also an ecolink and am getting Nile sat west. Just want to say thanks F_Marshal who is my uncle and thanks Olofofo for actually showing me access to Show networks. Olofofo went off his way to really assist me in getting hooked up. You are my own Adewest. However I still want to be able to get hot bird channels and any other one available. So I welcome any input from you guys. Toxnaija it's been my pleasure seeing you ,still expecting to see you next week. Thank you everyone for your valuable input for us all novice that love FTA[/Quote]
Glad you finally joined the group!! FTA is the way to go! Aren't you glad you made the move? No more messing with yeye DSTV!!! Once again Welcome!!!

@ Gangsta

For JSC +1-4, scan: Nilesat 12284 V 27500; Hotbird 11296 H 27500 and 11179 H 27500.

broucher: I Only have one dish , just experimenting with it. I actually moved it from nilesat position to the east following euteslat w4, I started by 12minding ht and 3am I had lost all signals and couldn't get my Nilesat back.  Again I tried Hotbird by manually following the dstv dish at my end to the east this morning, but by1pm I had achieved nothing.

well the good news is that with olofofo on the phone i was to re -position back to nilesat. ( Take note it wasn't possible to track nilesat again with my ecolink, i had to use strong box to track Intelsat 7/10k, I got MBC4 at this point.  So I  now switched back to the Ecolink at that signal and was able to get nilesat.  I guess am gonna see the game now, that has been my experience for today.   

Thanks again for this forum for their encouragement.

Getting your real first FTA tweaking and tracking action huh? One day at a time. Before you know it, you'll be tracking all the birds on the ARC.! Kudos.

@Olofofo, Thanks for all your help to Broucher!!!

@ South South people,
My discussion with Adewest this evening was positive. He will be coming to Warri to track far reaching birds such as Nilesat, Astra and Eurobird1. No date has been fixed yet for his visit. We will continue our discussion as soon as he returns back to his homeland.

@BUTONEDAY,
Adewest coming for real?! Wao! That is good news for all south-south FTA members. Please
try harder. Get him to agree to a date so that we all can work towards it.

Sylvie11 has been so quiet all these months. I hope he is ok? We need to put
him in the picture too. I'm sure he will be interested.
