skylolo112:

i want to have a free to air decorder and all what is require please how do i go about it
thanks

@skylolo112,
There are various types of FTA decoders you can get in the market but I'll advise you go for
STRONG 4663x. It will give you better options and it is easier to work with for a fresher.
Since you're just coming into the thread, why don't you take time to read past posts in
season 1 & 2? Topics concerning how to set up an FTA system, requirements and even tracking
of most of the available birds on KU have long been discussed.
If you keep asking questions regarding these issues, not everyone may be patient enough to
spend time in repeating them. Just a word.

@george-D, i tried all i could inorder to get my france 24 back. But all to no avail. I then change the sitting of my lnb, becos the former is more wide. And i finally got france 24 and others. Thanks 4 ur advice and others who help too.

@williams85,
I'm glad you finally got through with the channels. That is the spirit of FTA. Never give up.
If you don't succeed the first time, try again and again until you get it right.

i live at agbado oke-aro in ogunstate but so close to agege in lagos state
thanks i will be glad to watch free to air stations

thanks to all bros in the house more grease to your elbow

@ George_D i am trying to read all the past thread and its helping me but i just want to know what and what to get thanks bros

@George_D please you can send me what i need to do and what i need to buy to watch English premier league stations and la liga stations on fre to air tv pleasse to my mail if you have time
skylolo112@yahoo.com

@skylolo112,
English premier leaugue, la liga etc matches are not restricted to one FTA station. That is the difference
btw FTA and pay tv stations. For FTA, you occasionally have to search for them through feeds though
there are some established stations who air some of these matches live on a more regular basis than others. 
Therefore, for a real enthusiast, you should be looking at installing more than one ku band dish if football
is your interest.
You could have one dish pointing at eutelsat w3a for MBC (tanzania). Then you may need to have another
pointing at NSS7 for LC2 then another pointing at intelsat 7/10 for etv. These three stations I mentioned
do show these matches occasionally for 90cm.

As for what you need to watch these channels, I think that should be pretty obvious by now, i.e,
STRONG decoder, KU lnb, 90cm dish, RG6 cables and of course your TV.

@George_D thanks a lot for your advise and lecture
so now i know what nd what i need but where do i get them and who to do it for me please if you have time you please help me out on what i am to do about it
Kudos

@George_D now i know what i need now but to install it is problem as i am not an installer but i am always ready to learn is i find a teacher
please put me through

@All
Please note that the MBC on W3a is not from Tanzania but from Mauritus, the country is close to South Africa.

@George_D  thanks a lot for your advise and lecture
i think i should put these stratght in one place.
i know what i want now and so to install it will be the problem and how many dish will i use for the 3 Fa serice you mention
will 1 or 2 be enough?
i have a small dishes as i use 1 dstv and hitv and i have one useless
and can i watch ART , aljazeera and showtime one these option you gave me?
becos i know 3 of them broadcast matches live

please kindly put me through the installation as the instalers around me are not well knowlegde about FTA

thanks a lot Bros

@skylolo112,
You will need to have three dishes for the three different birds. But since you have
two dishes from dstv and hitv, you can use those two. I'm aware though there are
some hitv dishes that are very small almost 45cm. If that is the type you have you
may not be able to use it for FTA unless maybe you intend to fix it permanently on
intelsat 7/10.

No, you cannot watch art, showtime and aljazeera sports with these small dishes. For
that you will need bigger dishes from 2.4m and above depending on your location.

@all,
VOA persian has been added to the new atlantic bird 4a tp (11355v).
Let's keep our fingers crossed for more and better goodies

@Olason

@raw-unkat
hi-tv, officially, cannot operate in ghana but there is away out, i know some people who subscribed to it. 3m pan is not common but fibre and mesh you can get it. crtv has a minimum package of 35 channels and initial cost of setting up is 350 ghana cedis.
multimedia tv (joy tv etc) are in operation, you can get their box at 150 ghana cedis and they have about 10 channels no monthly subscription. i am hot now and will contact u later. u can drop a mail at signalbit@yahoo.com

seunoluomo@yahoo.co.uk

[center]@seunoluomo.Since you are staying in lagos i advice you go for 2.4m pan dish.With 1.8m dish you may find it very difficult to access most of the premium channels on Nilesat.You also need a STRONG(4663x) receiver,Ku LNBF,C-band LNBF,Superjack actuator,eurostar motoriser,RG6U cable,Diseq Switch,etc.If your installer is knowledgeable enough ,he should be able to combine the two LNBs.You can get all the stuff at Alaba.Call 08033004145(Ugochukwu) for more assistance.He is a major dealer on satellite equipment.You may also take your time to read through part 1 of this forum.

@seunoluomo.For the list of some of the FTA channels receivable in Nigeria,please visit : http://www.strong-technologies.com/frmNewsArtDetails.aspx?id=85

rich8:

please bros can someone tel me what is jujucard 4 and i dont know how the card is and how the card wk please help me,

@rich 8,

there are different kinds of juju card also known as cloned cards or unofficial smartcards that can open encrypted channels of a particular pay tv provider.but the most common ones widely used in nigeria are the abracadabra and coco card.these two cards opens art and showtime channels on nilesat.the card is white in colour just the same size of any paytv smart cards u can find around.the abracadabra card comes with the echolink receiver and its clones and cannot work in any othe receiver outside their family.but the coco card can work in any receiver that has irdeto embeded conditional access system (CAS)though the abracadabra card opens so many other providers that we dont have the required dish size to track their signal here in nigeria.example is the NTV package on eutelsat w4 .a russian based paytv provider using irdeto 2 encryption system.

other types of juju card includes-

Cerebro Card
Anaconda card
fun card
titanium card
penta card
etc.

these ones i just mentioned are not used here.

newcomers,
there is virtually nothing you have been making enquiries on that has not been touched in the past.please endeavour to roll back.This is the main reason questions are not answered sometimes.

all,
TVContinental,a terrestrial tv station in Lagos has gone online-tvc.com.ng It is also on HITV.This is good news for Nigerians in the diaspora.I had wanted to ask Enigma how one can watch the Super Eagles in Europe while playing at home.

@ George D & Pitodenz,

Check your yahoo box, there's a new software named "satellite antenna alignment ".Ds software is different from d one i received from u.

please.ssssssssssss dejsam.there is mre i nee to l from u please give me a chan.plea am in ghana can juju card w for me if so how can get intach wit u,

@Olubachar,
Thanks for the mail. I saw the software attached but I already have it-that along
with the SMW Link version. They're all great softwares indispensable for the real
FTA enthusiast. As a matter of fact, but for the fast satellite finder tool my nilesat
installation wouldn't have been as smooth as it turned out to be. Thanks all the
same for the spirit of sharing.

@George_D i understand you and i got what you said i can use the big dish as far as i am cincerned but who is to install it as i am ready to do what it takes to watch what i need now and where i am to get it
i stay in ogun state but just a little way to lagos infact just 30 minute to lagos so it so close
tell me who to refer me to if you have one

@seunoluomo,
I think blexxonmak has already answered some of your questions regarding this. And as toxnaija just
said the reason why most questions like this go unanswered is because these are issues that have been
dealt with extensively in the past. So, when you come several months later to start asking these kind of
questions it's like dragging the whole house back. Most honorable members who are very busy will rather
post on current topics than waste time answering questions relating to past issues.
As it is now, we can only give you hints here while we direct you to pages or parts of the thread where you
can get most of these info.
As myself has already found out, there is NO SHORTCUT to these things. If you want to be knowledgeable
in FTA, you have to sacrifice some time in reading. READ, READ and READ some more. The only other
alternative is to remain ignorant and run to these illiterate installers who don't know anything btw azimuth
and elevation and who are ever ready to milk you silly.  

@blexxonmak i gave you my location so what will i do?

@George_D i understand you and i got what you said i can use the big dish as far as i am concerned but who is to install it as i am ready to do what it takes to watch what i need now and where i am to get it
i stay in ogun state but just a little way to Lagos in fact just 30 minute to Lagos so it so close
tell me who to refer me to if you have one
please thanks for your counseling so far

@ll

a note of warning to all newbies regarding going off into the market to buy stuff for yourselves:

beware of fakes!
FAKE DISHES!
FAKE DECODERS!
FAKE LNBS
FAKE CABLES!

if you are buying any dish 1m or below, please make sure it's a strong or eurostar. anything outside of that, please forget it. if it's not poor finishing or the dishes, other problems include  very week bolts ad nuts and really terrible supports.

for 1.8m dishes and beyond, if it's not strong for pan, please stay off it. you can rely on eurostar and supermax for mesh dishes.
regarding decoders. a lot has already been said of fake strong decoders in the market. stick with srt4663x, iit's new and it has been duplicated yet.

lnb's for small dishes, strong will do, while for big dishes you can try fuji. i do no know of a fake fuji for now. cband lnbf, you can rely on supermax.

cables: try as much as possible to get the eurostar rg6 copper cable, a roll goes for 1500, unlike the regular cables that are sold for 900.

hope this write up has been of help to the noobs in the house.
