Buy at your own risk. Work for two months and then dies.

Its from China too
does it work.? Being China is not a problem my only problem is I heard is about 60k, I would rather pay half year of the thieves then, IKS or dongle should not be more more than 20k

You must realize that the sellers are hungry people and would lie to you. Qsat from china failed and they know you all dont want to hear china again.

You are much closer to the centre of the badr-5/7 beams. Maybe some minor adjustments needed on your setup. Good luck!
@ike1844 an update for you if you are yet to track Badr5/7 (26e). My motorised pole had lost its plumb position due to the high winds of late. This has been why I was having problems getting the MBC package and one or two other satellites. All sorted now with Cordoba International now showing as well as a new frequency 10970V27500 with about 11 unscrambled channels (most not showing). As our senior brother @Arbourboteng stated, you should be ok with a 90cm dish!

Qsat cannot be said to be failure, it worked perfectly well for almost 2 years, and every IKS or dongle have a lifespan cos it illegal hacking certainly. We a patiently waiting for the next IKS or dongle that is pocket friendly

@Emmaachile

I read through your arguments about paytv being better than fta.

The fact is what you have stated. But fta is for hobbyist and enthusiasts. Unless one finds pleasure in tracking birds and watching for free, he can't enjoy fta.

There are many members of this forum who have paytv but still come here simply because they enjoy tracking sats. I believe you are one of them.

So in summary, while paytv will always have better quality and less risk, fta provides mental stimulation and value for money.

Cc: Odilibe, GeorgeD, Olenyi et al. These are the forefathers of fta in NL.

Yipae!!! I have finally mounted my HD decoder. Now I'm fully in FTA crews.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by life707: 9:55pm On Apr 05, 2017
FTA is unpredictable.... When u think its down, something exciting starts happening elsewhere.

Imagine top midweek EPL match on a 60cm dish... That's FTA!

For us with BUD, arsenal vs westham was also on the screen

[quote author=manny1969 post=55188463] @ ike1844, where is your location? I am based in Accra and for the past two weeks at least, it appears the MBC package (Badr-7 (26e)) has had a decrease in beam intensity from my experience. I previously used 12303H27500 (Badr 5 Magreb beam) which has Cordoba International to track Badr-5/Badr-7 on 26e. Now I cannot even pick up the Cordoba signal and the MBC is just pixilating continuously. I have a motorised Ku set up on a 90 cm dish which I have not altered and all the other 30 satellites it picks up have high signal and quality. I wonder if others in southern Ghana are experienceing this. Please can Isee the picture of your motorised dish? How can I get it? I base in Nigeria.
