petfun4u:

The staellite u are looking for is on 7 degree West. Use this TP tp track 11938v27500.
But what is 1. Your location and 2. The size of the dish.

Remain blessed

I'm aware the desired channels exist elsewhere like Badr 4 @ 26E, albeit not on your current size of dish.

Seems u didn't get my post. I said



Anyway, u need a rs232 cable. This is how to build one (curtesy of the MOD)



Then get a compartible rx as ur's and connect them together. Switch on the good one and go to MENU = system settings sub menu = data transfer. Select firmware transfer and allow to initialise. Then switch one the second rx and allow to download. And, Viola, ur rx is as good as new.


NB: DONT TRY DIS WITH PHCN. USE GENERATOR!!!!

Regards.

Desperately needed a crossed RS 232 cable over the weekend, couldn't lay hands on one. Eventually cut up small short lengths of wire - and it worked!

The Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) yesterday began raiding premises and arresting persons involved in the unauthorised distribution of Digital Satellite Television (DSTV) and other cable networks signals and contents in parts of Benin City.

The raid, which took operatives of the Copyright Commission, backed by men of the Nigeria Police and Multichoice anti-piracy team, through New Benin, Okhoro, Medical Store and Sapele roads areas, led to the arrest of seven suspects (two female and five male) while about 20 decoders of different type were impounded.

At Okhoro and Medical Store streets, a two-room apartment was discovered to be filled with Strong brand of decoders and decoders of other cable networks which broadcast signals to about 200 houses around the area without authorization.

It was the same story at Sapele road and Ehwotubu and other parts of the metropolis as the team disconnected and destroyed cables and boosters used for the illegal operation.

Speaking to newsmen who accompanied the team, the leader of the NCC team, led by its Director of Enforcement, Augustine Amodu, warned those engaged in the illegal act to desist as the commission was ready to arrest and prosecute not only those behind it, but those who broadcast the signals to others after collecting fees ranging from N500 to N3, 000.

He said commission, backed by Section 38 of the Copyright Act, will continue to raid and arrest those involved, adding that they had successfully prosecuted a notorious pirate who was recently sentenced to two and half years in jail.

Multichoice Senior Anti-piracy Manager, Frikkie Jonker, urged Nigerians to connect to the cable stations through the right way, saying that any sales and distribution of devices used illegally to pirate and access DSTV channels were all punishable under the copyright law. He also frowned at the use and screening of DSTV channels in commercial premises, including hotels, pubs, multi-tenant apartments, restaurants and clubs without obtaining a commercial licence from Multichoice.

Hmmmm......

@olenyi,
It's more than saying 'Hmmmm'. I think peeps need to understand that there are consequences for engaging in illegalities.

With the recent hike in DSTV tariffs it looks like they're losing subscribers in droves and this may be impacting on
their bottom line. It goes to reason why they're now going around making all these arrests. I would advise anyone here
who has anything to do with these local distributed signals to be wise and desist immediately in order not to be a victim.

A word is enough...

@Xpset.

There's one thing u should know. When a ku band beam for example is labelled 38 dBW it means dat anyone in dat coverage area using an lnb rated @ 0.6 noise factor can use any dish from 150cm up to pick the signal.

This is an industry standard. It doesn't change. What can change is if the owners of the channel migrates to a beam that has a better dbw footprint coverage over your area. Den the value might go up to something like 50dbw whereby one can now pull it down with say 60cm. Regards.

NB: ait package is still on ku just dat it's now scrembled @ 17'e
thank my oga

I think Multichoice has more to do than just going for the consumers of those illegal products.They should find the SOURCE otherwise I think they are fighting a losing battle.How many of these guys can they cause to be arrested?

Dat is how it was built in those days. Strong receiver S, 4650 and 4652 were the first one's strong introduced into the nigerian market.

Back in the days when we did tracking, u had to manually input all the frequencies. No blind scan to help u. And also oweing to the low sensitivity of its tuner, u have to really know ur onions before u can pick all birds in ur coverage area and off coverage.

But now, with the improved tuner sensitivity and readily available upgrades, peeps are pulling down bird like theirs no tomorrow. grin grin grin
