Fijabi leaving the keys pasted directly on the thread like that opens this forum and it's owners to lawsuits from those whose property rights u r infringing on. It could actually lead to us being sanctioned/closed down. I know you've apologised but we need them edited off. (please click on d modify button, that's if it's working now). Jujukemist how body, will u be back before easter? |

I had an experience yesterday, i was about to install a pas7/10 directed at dish yesterday, but due to an obstruction of a 2 storey building, i couldnt track the signal, so i proffered a better place of reception for the person, so he thought if he should call a 'certified' installer, cos i dont brag about calling myself one, so he called the guy and i talked to him on phone, he asked me what signal am trying to track, i told him MYTV, he said there's signal, i told him i know that but there's an obstruction on its path. Shockingly, the guy said if i should direct the dish away from the storey building i will surely get the signal, hearing this i was totally pissed off. These are some of the people that keep posing to the outside world as a 'certified' installer. OH what a shame. |

enitan2002: Don't mind those who call themselves installers, some of them know next to nothing. About the dish, there was a time a saw a 60cm dish inverted. I mean the lnb arm/holder was up instead of been down. I have wondered in my mind for some time now what will be the result of tracking a bird with the "dish upside down" If the dish can reflect the signals to the lnb, i think it should work. I will be glad if i can see some contributions to this. |

George D, call me by 2pm, it should be ready by then. Gangsta I will be back by weekend. All, as far as strong decoders are concerned, there are two known distributors in Nigeria, check strong website. one is in Abuja, the Other is in Kaduna. I am advising that we all buy our strong decoders from these guys,it saves us the wahala of fring decoders. Strong circuitry is so beans that any road side engineer can clone any part ofthe board. |

@Gangsta101 I'm sure fijabi has already done the right thing. The keys have been removed and he even posted the links to the sites where he got them. Very useful sites I must say. @fijabi, Keep up the good work. @all, Talking of keys, what is the quickest way to edit keys in our recievers? I personally think it is very cumbersome typing these keys one after the other through the master code. Anybody with any ideas? |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 10:31am On Mar 30, 2009 |
@jujukemist, Thanks in anticipation. Will definitely call you by 2pm. CHEERS! |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by Nobody: 10:38am On Mar 30, 2009 |
@ bodejohn, you are a proud owner of 2 90cm dishes, you're in the best position to try it out and report back to us here. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 10:44am On Mar 30, 2009 |
@enitan, There are installers and there are installers. Some know so little and brag about what they know. Some know so much but choose to remain quiet about it. You will be surprised at how much information we all take for granted in this forum which if these commercial installers should know even one-tenth of it, they will rush to CNN and claim they are guru ![]() |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by pitodenz(m): 11:15am On Mar 30, 2009 |
@ bodejohn- those dishes re mostly use for analogue or terrestrial transmissions. Like in ph Agip Company use it to transmit Rai for their Italian white with analogue satellite receiver. Also i think Hitv made use of that type of stuff in lagos b4 they went to full digital satellite. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by FMarshal2(m): 4:43pm On Mar 30, 2009 |
bodejohn:Inverted or Upside down dishes are used to track Satellite Signals in areas that have very low Dish Elevations. It is mainly used with offset dishes. For example, if your dish elevation for a satellite is 10° and your dish can only point down to 18° (due to mounting Post restrictions), by inverting the Dish, you expose the dish to a wider angle of the signal from the satellite. For this to work the elevation has to doubled in the oppositie direction. For our example of 10° normal elevation, you move to scale to let'say 19° or 20° elevation. Azimuth and Skew remain the (original)same.

Thanks for all your efforts, though. @all, I got up to 92% signal quality last night on 10758V (ok TV) nilesat tracking frequency last night after the rains here. Anybody else notice the high signal increase or was it only at my end? This my fuji lnb na fire o! |

Hello All, The antenna is Comstar 2.4m pan polar antenna. It comes with its own 1 meter long pole ( it is a none-penetrating antenna). I put it on the ground with sand bags holding the pole's legs. I finally got time to check out this on Nile sat. I had the light (fake?) Fuji LNB and Strong 4663X receiver. With a Spectrum analyzer at hand started to look for the bird. Since lots of insects started to bite me at about 9:00PM I gave up.These are what I saw by 10:00PM ; The last 4 frequencies were coming in and out, they were not stable. I need to do some fine tuning later to improve the levels. 10758-V 58 11747-V 53 11766-H 48 11785-V 53 11823-V 53 11862-V 53 11938-V 48 12015-V 47 12130-V 52 12207-V 52 12284-V 53 12054-V 46 11843-H 45 11977-V 53 12034-H 45 |

Site Introduction! h**p://www.igp.net/Antenna_Alignment/Index.php This site is good for antenna alignment. You would select the satellite, region, country, town and it would give you a nice pictures how your antenna should be pointed. If your satellite or town is not in the list, then you can enter the data for the satellite and town manually and it still gives your good picture of antenna installation. PLEASE note the negative sign! |

@ All HI 2 ALL: I duff my cap for all house m8. You guys are doing a nice job. My maximum respect goes to the "CKGs"; Critically Key Guys in the house Twinstaiye, Olofofo, etc. Thanks for your support ![]() My project for this weekend is to track Hotbird. Will keep all posted. @Olofofo Please I'm still waiting for the SW. @ Twinstaiye Thank you for that link and your counseling, you sure display good leadership traits |

Where and How can one buy the real FUJI LNB? I like to buy one and test it against the fake! |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by LagosSky(m): 4:27pm On Mar 31, 2009 |
Is it possible to manually enter keys in 4663X ? |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 4:48pm On Mar 31, 2009 |
@LagosSky, Since you're in lagos, go to Alaba. I'm sure you will find some original fuji LNBs there. You already know what you're looking for so when you see a fake you will know and when you see the original (the one that is heavy and cannot be unscrewed) you will also know. BTW, those your signal levels are just too low to be of any use if you want to enjoy nilesat. You must aim for at least 78% to 82% on 10758V. That is when BBC begins to come out. After you get BBC up to 50% - 58% signal strenght, you can then hope of CNN. At the rate you are now, your MBC may not even be steady 24hrs how much more BBC? We are not talking of showtime yet. The way I see it, there are many problems with your installation. Are you sure your pole is perfectly plumb? This one that you can't even mount it in the ground? Aside from that, this your COMSTAR dish may be an issue too. Try getting a strong 2.4m pan dish (if you still have enough change left over). I know COMSTAR is very good in their polar mount MESH version but I can't say the same for their PAN. In fact most of us have not seen it nor tested it. So, maybe you should go with trusted and tested equipment especially when trying to nail naughty brds like nilesat otherwise you may just end up sweating endlessly with little reward. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by LagosSky(m): 4:58pm On Mar 31, 2009 |
Thanks George_D I also think I have a blockage as well. I am only 8 meters away from a 3 story house. Looking for another location. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by GeorgeD1(m): 5:11pm On Mar 31, 2009 |
@LagosSky, No, you're not likely to have problems with building blockage for birds like nilesat; because the elevation is almost pointing directly at the sky. For lagos it is about 75.63 degrees. So, that 3-storey building may not be part of your problems. |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by microgiant: 5:14pm On Mar 31, 2009 |
@George_D expect my call soon |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by twinstaiye(m): 5:25pm On Mar 31, 2009 |
@loluskysat Welcome on board. Please let us know how your installation goes. |

Hello people in the house, please does anyone know where about GO AFRICA on ew 3 |
Re: Official Thread of Free-to- Air Satellite TV [part 3] by BUTONEDAY(m): 10:11pm On Mar 31, 2009 |
@ Lagos Sky Try to readjust your set-up in the afternoon just to see if you can receive some of the channels in 7*w. I believe you can receive MBC1,2,3,4. I think your lnb is not in the best position on your set-up. You can still receive nilesat even with with the so called fake lnb. Most of us are using it unknowingly. @ Olofofo Thanks for the multiswitch info. The price high O!. Make we dey think am. @ Pito & Jujuchemist I hail una. |
