George_D: @All,
I finally got round to reviving my 3 - in - 1 COMSTAR dish over the weekend. It has been down for over a Year and within
this period, I've been totally in the dark when it comes to C band issues. Now the dish is back and even better.

Thanks a lot to Lyngsat where I gleaned almost all the active transponders on the East and West. And, what a difference
a year makes in satellite technology! Apart from a few standing transponders, almost all have changed. Satellites
that once held sway more than a year ago are now obsolete!

Anyways, after changing both C band lnbs, Jack and positioner, I got a head way and I'm pleased to see most forgotten
stations back and dancing on my screen again. Apart from Ajazeera, EATV, ITV,Citzen, etc on the East side, I also got
CNN, DW-TV,TBN, Smile of a Child, JCTV and NTA on the West among others.

More details will be posted along with pictures during the week. VIVA FTA!

Thumb up for George_D. You have done an important work again. Viva Free to AIR. Have you cut your lnb as said you will? Whats is your findings?

Hello gurus,I need your help where can I get software for FORTECSTAR FSHD4700 which has patch,please please I need your help

chilowosim: Hello gurus,I need your help where can I get software for FORTECSTAR FSHD4700 which has patch,please please I need your help

Get a STRONG decoder and you won't regret. If you were near, I would have given you one for free .....manje kwatalimpa kumawa

loluc90: @ George_D thumbs up,expecting the pictures as u said sir.

@loluc90,
Thanks. I will post pictures as soon as I get the chance. I noticed the middle ku LNB seems to be performing under par. It could be that
the over 12 months sitting idle in the hot outside sun may have affected it like the rest C band lnbs I changed out. I may have to change
it out also to get a clean slate.

@auchs,
No, I have not but I will as soon as I'm through with tidying up my dish. I was doing a lot of blind scanning yesternight.

Suddenly, my motorized dish is alive once again!

@figment232,

Yes, I know a good installer who can help you out but don't you think you should first give it a shot before going to call an installer?

If it was working before but now it is down, perhaps with a little knowledge from what you have gathered here so far, you could bring
that dish up again. That's what I did in my own case. As long as it was properly installed the first time, unless it was tampered with,
all the alignment should still remain intact even five years from now. So, with that out of the way you only need to trouble shoot and
find out why it is not working as it should.

In my own case I had to change both C band lnbs, I changed the jack and positioner, checked Lyngsat for active transponders which
I then used to re-track the various positions East and West and my dish is back again and better.

Surely, you can also do this? No?

erm ok.

i need to ask some seriously mumu questions.

i need you to understand that i simply do not want to guess the answers.
neither does it mean im THAT slow. i just believe that he who asks questions most def will not go astray.



I see this FTA/ freebie hacking setup at places where it seems the guys hook up the decoder to a router (that uses a gsm sim card)
Now im not so much interested in the DS*V hacking. not at all. but i see a lot of obscure foreign stations on them, some that interest me.
Now according to my findings (mostly lies i was told i guess) the router/sim card is needed for online access




which leads to my question(s):



1. when that setup is done with a dish outside, is the data connection absolutely vital, as in is it STREAMING over the data?
or the data is just needed to intermittently refresh keys?



2. related to above, what volume of data consumption are we looking at? constant streams going through GBs per day or minor consumption



3. in the event that i am not interested in hacking any pay tv, at least the local ones, of what benefit will this setup be?
will i be able to use it for non-local pay/free tv stations?



4. i understand that some decoders allow you to surf sites like youtube. i presume those will be entirely data driven?
are there also satellite stations on these boxes that are entirely data driven (meaning the dish is not useful?)

Thread Closed!!! Search for very good answers and results on google - buddy.

Winners' Chapel is now on satellite TV! The church has established its own broadcasting network named Breakthrough Broadcasting Network (BBN) which is available on Channel 21 on MyTV. This feat is coming barely a year after the church got licensed to operate its own airline Dominion Airline.Its inaugural transmission will be today (February 3, 2013) at %.00 PM Nigerian time.

This is a huge leap for a church which has branches in sixty countries of the world without ever being on TV or radio in its thirty two years of existence. Despite this fact, its three Sunday services are watched live online in one hundred and ten (110) countries of the world. The Living Faith Church has thus joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Daystar Christian Centre and Synagogue Church of All Nations to provide regular broadcast of its programmes 24 hours daily across the world. Jesus is Lord!

if i want to be streaming, i dont need a STB to stream.

@ 4llerbuntu

That is what you should have asked right away than to ask all that plenty things. As for those things you wouldn't have gotten any answers.
Now to answer you, it depends on the receiver you are using but on average you'll need 200MB worth of data if your are watching the scrambled channels continuously for a month. This is without using your stb for streaming links like youtube and the rest.

On the other hand, if you want to stream live videos on the net, it is better you use a pc with adsl/broadband with unlimited data plan. That will rather be economical and will help keep your receiver running/working perfectly for much longer.

Mbc@7e is nt reliable ,imagine it wz green ds morning n nw red in the evening.jst hp its always green on match days.is it like ds evrywhr?

Some receivers can give you access to iptv/internet protocol television using your broadband service for a limited period some can go for upto 12months,regardless of type of channel and satellite dish is not required.....but at the end of the expiry you start paying for your monthly subscription that includes your broadband subscription which must be high speed internet....better hook to your satellite dish to watch tv!!!

Iron2011: what channels are you currently getting on w6 and on which TP ?

i already track multitiv but i added another LMB to track the amos5 but all i get is the dstv channels pls help me.

ojialo:

@ Ojialo, try and track Amos5 first before you proceed to MultiTv.

You can use 12216 v 27500 or 12335 v 27500. Blind scan after tracking for other trasponders to come up.

i suppose amos 5 is the new flavour of the FTA world?

yes but IPTV is not to be payed every month you can chose 6 month or 12 month
and IPTV subscription is $10 for 6 month after free 12 month expire

and if you hug up dish and you want to enjoy $channels too you will still subscript after 12 month

and for redline TS 3000 HD all this are free when you buy
