@eduzo, Good words there. Seems to me the search for and eventual conquest of MPEG4 HD decoders will set the trend for a season 4 opener. I'm itching to say hello to FTA part 4, hello to MPEG4 HD! ![]() |

@luckiest, Nobody is trying to sound harsh, my brother. It is the tone of your advert that is responsible for the lash back. At a time when we are doing all we can to make people see the benefits of FTA, here you are suggesting that we help you prospect for PAY TV customers all for a stipend. It is an insult on our sensibilities. Think of it, most of us here decided to go FTA not because we CANNOT afford the providers' fees but because we cherish our right to be FREE. For someone who spends close to N300,000 on satellite equipment alone or someone who spends close to N100,000 to install a lightning arrestor to protect his equipment, then what is N2,500 that he cannot pay? Does such a person need to go about scouting for customers who want to install DSTV or DAARSAT to earn points so he can watch those packages without paying? You judge for yourself. BTW, you are even fortunate the moderator has not deleted all these adverts of yours. And do you know you could be banned for spamming this thread? Think about it. |

@all greetings for all effort and job done. @ George-D Well done for the achievements so far. Pls if I may ask, how much did you get your compass/or can one acquire a compass for?. Its just a necessity man! I made a simple inclinometer and ground compass which i use in tracking and I get good results using it. I want to do thins more like a professional and not like the mere INSTALLER who do guess work. Just doing it right you know |

George_D: @ pito, there hasen't been update for orbit a very long time now.and i dont think there will be as both showtime and orbit has now merged together as one company,so they will be using one card ,and very soon the both of them will be bearing same name and will be broadcasting same programme from two offices.i.e the orbit office and showtime office.presently u can even watch some orbit channels on nilesat with the abracadabra card and coco card.after the merger process is fully complete,the new company will be broadcasting a total of 70 channels. |

Jesu de:@Jesu de.Obviously,the one labelled STRONGER is the fake one. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 11:23am On Jul 27, 2009 |
@blexxonmak, Not so fast, bros. If you were following this thread from season 2, you will remember that Oga adewest one time advocated the use of STRONGER dish more than any other 1.8m dish for installations. Check page 33 of FTA part 2 and see what I mean. For clarity, I have reproduced one of his posts here: adewest link=topic=242036.msg1024#msg1024 date=December 02, 2008, 10:16 PM: |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 11:26am On Jul 27, 2009 |
@Jesu de, As you can see from the above post, the STRONGER dish is your best bet, so please go for it. adewest achieved excellent results with it last year. Shortly after I think it disappeared from the market but seems it is back now. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 11:40am On Jul 27, 2009 |
spaceman: @spaceman, I got my magnetic compass here last year for N3,500. You can go to any of those stores in the market selling land survey equipment. Pose as a surveyor and ask them about it. Even if they don't have it in stock, I'm sure they can direct you to where you can get it. Truly, the compass is a must have for any serious FTA entusiast-especially when you're just starting out. It removes the guess work from knowing where to point your dish for any bird. For me, it came in useful when I was surveying my site for the best posible spot to install my nilesat dish. Also, when I was having difficulty tracking w3a, for several weeks, I just bought the compass, checked the azimuth of w3a for my city on www.dishpointer.com and pointed the dish towards the exact direction, raised it up and bam! green jumped out! ![]() |

@ George_D.Thanks for the correction.With all these cases of fake Strong receivers who would blame me. |

@blexxonmak, No wahala. We're all here to learn. @Dejsam @BUTONEDAY, Surprise, surprise! My starsat decoder is back from the dead! ![]() Apparently the repairer did a good jod in fixing it but I forgot to tell him that I turned off the LNB power from the menu. So, I think when he tested it he couldn't get signal and he concluded that it could not be repaired. Last night I decided to try it out by looping out signal from the STRONG reciever as usual and there it was showing! So, it is now plus one and counting! ![]() |

@all,hello comrade, to those that have 1.8m pan it very easy to get athlantic bird 3/ C band even than nss 7,what u need to do is to first track NSS 7/C,then move your dish a little bit to right side like 1inc then race head up like nilesat,with DWTV tp 3727v it will hit up to 70% to 72% for people that like movie&documentry bye. |

Hello I m a newbie here and in the FTA world as well I just want to know : is it one satellite for one LNBf? Can one strong LBNf receives from more than one satellite? if YES what is its name or label?

@All talking of Mpeg4/HD decoders, there is a new satellite pay TV in town called INFINITY TV (WEBSITE:- http://www.infinitytv.info/ ). They are using mpeg4/HD decoders. We should inquire about them, to know if their decoders are cheap enough, if they are of good quality, and if they can be used for the reception of Mpeg4 free to air transmission . (www.infinitytv.info/ ) |

@ifende I left a message for you on msg |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 11:02am On Jul 28, 2009 |
lemurland: @lemurland, LNBF means [b]L[/b]ow [b]N[/b]oise [b]B[/b]lock down converter [b]F[/b]eedhorn. It receives the signals from a satellite transmitting from space converts the signals and sends it to your decoder. It works independent of whatever satellite is in the sky and as such is not customized for only one satellite. So, to your questions: no, it is not just one LNBF for one satellite. yes, one strong LNBF can receive more than one satellite. The name of the label is KU or C band LNB. If the technicians have deleted the names of satellites posted by the decoder, you can get them back by doing an auto scan using your decoder menu. Hope this helps? |

@all. I advise all our members to exercise patience as regards the MPEG4 receiver.In fact the Strong representative called yesterday.He said the MPEG4 receiver could be purchased from any of the dealers shop at ALABA before the end of August |

@ George D Thanks for ur advice on my badr installation. But the distance between the dish and my door is not up to 2metre so that is no hassle for me after all i only watch cnn in the morning time and few hours in the evening.My main concern is the movie channels.The height of the dish is also of my advantage about 3 feet, so anytime after rain i ll just go outside and sweep away the water log on the pan and my signal ll just bounce back. @ Desjam Men,with what u just mention about showtime and orbit it ll be a matter of time they ll be using the same encryption program for badr and nile,then i ll be watching the best paytv package in the world. You need to see what orbit has to offer + showtime package.Hope the jujucard ll be able to open it then, cos they re using two encryption software seca and irdeto2 for encryption in badr. |

@ Badaru/Desjam From what i can get from satmac it seems humax and yumatu can open orbit network with key pls confirm. |

@ george_d i was thinking if i will have your number thanks i will be waiting for it |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by BUTONEDAY(m): 9:56pm On Jul 28, 2009 |
George_D, Congratulation on the revival of your Starsat. That has saved you some thou. @ Pito, You do not need to be sweeping water from your dish any time it rains. I know you are afraid that if you drill a hole at the lowest point of the dish, you will loose some signal. That will not happen. Please save yourself the stress and drill a hole of about 15 to 20 mm. I bet you, the signal will not be affected. |
