@usher8701,,i usd my 9ocm pan 2 nail viasat,just input 3743 h 2285,pas2/c 22w,exactly d position your cnn is,go get dat statn now, u wil love it,goodluck man.
@Borderline,
What LNB did you use with the 90cm pan, is it KU or C LNB?

@NileSat users
Aljazeera sports +1 - +4 are still opening with even the old update of 170709 without the Abra card (as adviced by Twinstaiye) it is not likely that I will look for any update for Echolink until it goes down, enough Seria A matches (Juventus V Roma just ended, Fiorentina V Palemo now on), La Liga matches (Bacerlona V Gijon tomorrow night), I will have to look for an alternative for EPL matches or even buy another decoder for Showtime programmes updates.
Cheers.

@captainus

I dey oo. Just a bit busy. Any news for the Strong mpeg-4 receiver? I've decided to go for that one instead of Multitv box or Daarsat. By the way, a friend told me someone is selling a Daarsat box in Accra for 300GHC. Is that expensive?

Folo28,

Please, I will appreciate if you can send me the latest software for Ecolink on Nilesat. Thank you.

Sorry, I don't have the current update, I was referring to the update of last month which has stopped working for Showtime and ART

@const6,
Badr 4/6 is just a little after astra 2B on your east. Pito tracked it with 2.4m in ph and with my 3m,
I got some nice H tps here. If you're not getting it, check your dish alignment and lnb focal lenght.
Question: Are you getting astra 2B at all? If yes, is it high to maximum quality signal (97-98%)?
If yes, then proceed to track badr. From astra 2b position, Just lift the dish up a little and move it
slightly to your left (facing the dish) and use the tp pitodenz gave you and you should strike green.

Well done everyone 4 the good work. Is good having good people like u all. My fear on multi tv in nigeria is these pay tvs. I hope the will not pursue them that they should limit their beam 2 only Ghana. It happen 2 etv. Am afraid. @george D i leave close 2 you, i am in Asaba. U are good too thanks.

@Benpete,
I don't think there's anything to fear about multi-tv. Even if they restrict their signals to Ghana
it only means we will need bigger dish to hunt them down but we will still be able to get their
signals.
Since you're in Asaba, maybe we can hook up sometime. We'll see how it goes.
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by Benpete: 9:53pm On Aug 30, 2009
@borderline, YOU have not responded 2 all these questions. I am also interested, how do u use cband LMB 4 90cm. Pls tell d house how possible this your innovation is.
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 10:24pm On Aug 30, 2009
@all,
Here are the pix of my weekend installations in the countryside. One of the 90cm dish
is facing intelsat 7/10 while the second is facing w3a. The third on the ground is the
2.3m dish I was deploying for nilesat.

I hope you have realised you have flooded the thread. Just stick to the CLICK ONCE AND WAIT directives. I believe it is not deliberate, but just a caution so that you will be careful next time.

slightly to your left (facing the dish) and use the tp pitodenz gave you and you should strike green.

@ const6,

what i am trying to explain is that.the distance from the centre of your dish to the point at whish u cut open your lnb should be betwn 35.5 and  36

inches for a 2.4m dish.and for a 1.8m dish the distance should be 26.5 and 27 inches.this helps your tracking very easy without sweating.withen five

minutes u will hit green pointing the dish in the right direction

pls let me have your e mail addy for the update.
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by microgiant: 9:51am On Aug 31, 2009
@ George

Thanks for your help, but still no success. I think i will contact pito, although i wanted to call him for the 3m or 4m for Nilesat or Badr installation
