Hi, I tried crtv at astra2b on strong 4652x but it never turns green. Kept stretching 4rm 12% to 40%. But i got ltm tv at 80% on the same position non-english channel with bad picture. I later changed to sirius4 there i got 61% but having problem tracking both w3a and sirius4 to watch both at a time. I manually turn my 90cm a bit up above w3a then to my right to get sirius. This forum is a great help to me, i never knew how to track birds. Thank u. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 10:00am On Aug 06, 2009 |
@Dejsam, Thanks my brother. Both dishes are certainly up and running now. Yesterday marked the final round of my FTA restoration after that thunder strike. But for the persistent rains here I would have done it sooner but it just keeps on raining here everyday making outside installations impossible. Thank God there was a slight break and I quickly cashed in on it yesterday. My di-electric was behaving funny when i tried tracking with the supermax c-band lnb. Imagine getting CNN as low as 39%! But I quickly adjusted and wham! Everything jumped back to normal. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 10:10am On Aug 06, 2009 |
Buben: @Buben, This your info get as e be o! I thought somebody said he contacted the same dealers last week and they were saying the receiver was available for around 9K to 10K? How come it is now suddenly btw 50k and 55k? Something tells me those dealers are trying to capitalize on the sudden frenzy of inquiries coming from our members and they want to make maximum profit. If not, how come the sharp increase? |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by Dejsam(m): 10:12am On Aug 06, 2009 |
George_D: @ george, how about ur nta hope it still came out with strong signal quality. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by Buben(m): 10:23am On Aug 06, 2009 |
@George_D, Obviously the information that the SRT 4900/4910 receivers goes for 9K or 10k is wrong. Maybe the dealers were'nt quite sure of the receiver . Maybe they thought it is a new model of the SD receivers they are currently selling in the market not knowing that it is completely HD. I wrote Strong office in Abuja concerning the SRT 4900/4910 receivers and below is their reply in quote: Sir, The requested receiver model SRT 4900 and SRT 4910 can be opted through Strong Solutions distribution network in Nigeria ; for instance you can contact any of the following establishment: Kennedo investment at Alaba international Market – Lagos Phone: 08031644831 & 07055173186 Sobis Communications at Alaba international Market – Lagos Phone: 08033457018 & 07040299157 Regards, So I called the dealers to confirm and both gave me different prices and telling me it is strictly on demand. They explained that it is HD terrestial, that is why the price is so high. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by Unseen(m): 10:34am On Aug 06, 2009 |
If the price of strong HD decoders are actually that high, then Daarsat decoder will be a better option in as much that some essential functions will be missing. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 10:44am On Aug 06, 2009 |
@Dejsam, Yes, I still got NTA but it is struggling btw 49% and 51% quality. What is wrong with that tp these days? Looks like it is getting more and more epileptic by the day. Na wao! |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 10:57am On Aug 06, 2009 |
@Buben, That's alright. I'm sure we can get alternatives to STRONG if it turns out those prices are for real. They should keep selling 'on demand' until they are ready to sell from the shelf like normal decoders. Seems to me they're about making the same mistake daarsat made with their HD decoders when they first came out. Then, it was selling for about 40K and when they realized people were avoiding them like the plague nobody told them to bring down the price to 18k. So, let's watch how STRONG will play this out. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by Nobody: 11:30am On Aug 06, 2009 |
@ george, i quite beleive the price buben tagged to the strong HD decoders, that was the reason adewest was quite skeptical about the 9k price. I saw on a forum that someone bought that strond decoder close to $220, so when i saw that ridiculous price of 9k i was suprised. what do you think one should do now? @ ola/badaru. what help can u proffer in getting a HD deoder? your response is needed ASAP |

enitan2002: Good afternoon all. I got my strong srt 4910 HD receiver at 207$. i used a cargo clearing agent to get the receiver for me in Dubai. As Nigeria does a lot of imports from Dubai, you can get them to buy the receiver for you and import it. Bellow is a reply email from the strong agent based Dubai as request for Strong SRT 4910 HD. Dear Mr. Kangethe, Thank you so much for your interest in Strong Technologies products. The SRT 4910 which you have referred to in your inquiry sent to us earlier is available in Dubai for AED 760 ($207 USD). Let me know when you are travelling to Dubai so I can reserve a unit for you. Regards, Khaled Khayrallah STRONG TECHNOLOGIES L.L.C PO Box 28057 - Dubai - U.A.E.

Be blest always. |

Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by chuk101(m): 12:09pm On Aug 06, 2009 |
I was also suprised abt the 9k price tag when i checked on one of such forums sb said it was abt $300 . I personally called sobis 2day to confirm the 55000 naira price. I think it is high time we start thinking of a w ay to get multitv digibox as it stands to be the best option, i have this feeling that it might go d way of etv dt unless u have their decoder u would not be able to view it. Also i wish to let u all know that the security of nagra 3 is quite tight d4 solution to etv is far. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by emeystan(m): 12:35pm On Aug 06, 2009 |
For me i think i will settle down for the digibox. What we now need is who will go to ghana to arrange this digibox or how do we get it |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by Nobody: 12:40pm On Aug 06, 2009 |
this is a wakeup call for our fellow peeps in ghana, captainus, salamander e.t.c, to come to our aid. we are all waiting |

@all, pls i want this big dish that we use for aljazeera. Anybody know the price that i can get it. Am sure the price of that strong 4910 will soon come down. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 3:04pm On Aug 06, 2009 |
@enitan, Let's forget STRONG for now. When their eye clear they will bring their prices down. I think presently we have a choice btw multi-tv digibox and daarsat HD decoder. Personally I think the digibox may serve us better since all we are aiming at for now is Astra 2B. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 3:09pm On Aug 06, 2009 |
@Dejsam, Well done for that orbit info. I knew they were up to something what with all those adverts they have been putting out for some days now. Now nilesat truly rocks! ![]() |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by Emeritus153: 3:11pm On Aug 06, 2009 |
@dejsam, i need more explanation on that nilesat. What size of dish? How can we get the card. God will surely help u as u explain. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by Dejsam(m): 3:16pm On Aug 06, 2009 |
Emeritus153: @emeritus 153, ur location will determine the size of dish u will need.but if u are in lagos area, 2.4m above is the best option for u.then u will need a receiver.i will rather suggest u go for echolink and other satellite set up related items,may be for a ground mount dish or a motorised setup depending on ur choice.but the motorised set up is preferable and will be better.u can chat me online.

@Kungu, What is your location? Mine is Longitude 36.48 East, Latitude 1.16 South. I need to ask for a favour from you - regarding your HD receiver. My Email is: (nash.namubich@gmail.com). |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by toxnaija: 5:36pm On Aug 06, 2009 |
all, I think my take on the Strong HD receiver is that we should all forget about it for now.The price will definitely come down soon.Go and ask for the price of Echolink now which we bought at almost 25k when it came.I heard it is about half that price now! I |
