On the early morning of friday morning, after being fed up with the incessant picture freezing of CRTV i looked at my neglected strong box which was faulty in detecting signal. I plugged it on and voila the signal turned green. What happened for the resurrection i dont really know. The crtv picture on the strong box was so smooth. And since i have a signal splitter switch, i just splitted the astra2b signal into my former eurostar box and the strong. I made sure all the stations on the strong box to be on v pol while that of eurostar has h pol. And i was able to watch the stations simultaneously. |

@adewest once motorized, someone says the 4m dish might not be able to receive showsport again because of the movement of the dish. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by Nobody: 8:58am On Sep 07, 2009 |
Olofofo, u wan motorised 4m dish? With my little knowledge on satellite, i will strongly advice against it. Thats my one penny advice. @ usher, if u hav the original it will definitely work. |

pitodenz:@Pitodenz, can you help me with the configuration of yr frd on Mtn . What bandwidth can i pay for to be able to watch fta online without freezing.I have gone thru their website and found out there are many packages ranging from 64kbit/s to unlimited. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by pitodenz(m): 12:45pm On Sep 07, 2009 |
@ All I wan my fellow N/L to know that yf still rocks with a new ip and settings. If u need it contact me. Its only one ip loop hole from yellow guys now so must not be made public.

@pitodenz, Keep up the good work. I'll certainly try out what adewest suggested and if it works I'll let you know. If not maybe I'll have to settle for the K5 STRONG lnb. About that yf stuff, looks like I'm not enjoying that my low profile 3g phone at all o! I didn't notice any difference in speed when using it compared to 3110c. Either it's not working as supposed or there's no 3G in my area. |

@microgiant, Take heart. The everyday rain seems to be beating a gradual retreat and very soon it'll be bright skies! The happy days of FTA tracking is fast around the corner! ![]() |

@ spaceman, got ya message and the hunt has started right away. @ pit, counting on u. @ george, to have 3g on ya phone, if u are using nokia, go to settings, then to phone, then to network. You will have 3 options there, dual, umts and gsm. Gsm is for 2.5g and below, while umts is for 3g. So select the umts option whenever u want the 3g connection. If its available in ya location, u will see the strength bars and the pole will change to 3g. Bon chance. |

Just want 2 say thank u 2 all d FTA gurus in d house,i appreciate all i have gained from this forum. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 1:11pm On Sep 07, 2009 |
@enitan, Thanks. In my phone config, it's already selected: Dual. Meaning both gsm and umts. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 1:28pm On Sep 07, 2009 |
@adewest, Reference the picture below for my 3-in-1 lnb set up posted here in march. I'm still looking for a way to make a proper 3 lnb holder. As you can see all this tape and wire tying together of the lnb does not appear professional at all. Besides it may require climbing up frequently to re-tie them when they become loose as a result of wind. Any idea how I can make a proper 3 lnb holder that will stand the test of time? Or maybe you can post pictures of yours for me to take to the welder?

@ kentonira, we need ur contributions too. We may also learn from u. We should all be ready to step into the shoes of major contributors, cos those that you see here today you may see them no more. So no matter how small it is, yur quota is needed. @ george, to be on the safer side, u av to be on a specified option. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 1:46pm On Sep 07, 2009 |
@pito, Just to prove you're right. Check the above picture and scroll to your extreme right. You'll see the offending MTN mast in the background! @enitan, Copy that. I'll select umts then instead of dual. Thanks. |

Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by badaru1(m): 4:25pm On Sep 07, 2009 |
@George D and all Am having similar problem with concerning C-band interference. Mine come from two directions-one is the mtn mast and the other one is internet antena on top of my building. Once my neighbour is browsing, all my c-band channels will start t scratching. On saturday I lay my hands on strong k5 and k4. The k5 gave almost the same signal with my old supermax after changing the polarisation. With the instalation complete, I notice significant improvement on the scratching. So, we have to keep researching for the solution. |

Greetings 2 u all da gurus in dis forum,pls i'l lik 2 make one request&it goes 2 ennybro.Cud u pls drp ur celphne numb/ur mail add? |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by Nobody: 4:56pm On Sep 07, 2009 |
@ badaru/george, the cause of this is mere interference. Thats one of the shortcomings of c-band freq. This is due to the fact that the freq at which those unwanted signals operate is almost the same with the sat lnb freq signal. If such happens that means the ISP is operating on same c-band signal as the lnb operates. People very close to radio xmitters stations like FRCN suffer most. Every hobbies have its own shortcomings, this one of it. We have to live it, no solution. The solution is getting a well protected lnb against such interference. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by Nobody: 5:33pm On Sep 07, 2009 |
The issue with the mast is nt the mast itself, there're some equipment also in that container that generates some signals, it is this that causes that problem. But this signal freq is independent of the mtn network signal, it doesnt travel as far as the intended signal,so it is people that live at a close perimeter to such sites that experience this. Cos if it shld be d mast, then everyone wit c-band will xperience that cos where is it that we wont get mtn signal? Just a food for thought. |
