EMMAACHILE:
You will see connected when you start the decoder. But on mine I prefer to create internet settings especially for glo network.
Goto IP settings and use the following setting depending on network

Glo:
apn=gloflat
user/pass=flat

Airtel including bb plan
Apn: internet.ng.airtel.com

Etisalat
Apn: Etisalat

Mtn
Apn: web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net

After you input these settings, restart your decoder and you will see on the screen "connected 3g modem"

No, the Etv3 on nilesat is from Ethiopia. Eriteria tv2 is on arabsat at 30.5e with poorest signals unless if u a from eriteria.

Dlee1: Nice post EMMAACHILE.


I think it will be difficult to nail nilesat with 1.8 prime focus dish in Anambra State.
Try it and you might be surprise.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by coderXO(m): 6:19pm On Aug 20, 2014
ABEG please someone help me with the skew of the C-band lnb to track Arabsat 20...looking for IRIB 3.


Update....

Scratch that yo!!!!!

I got it!!!

Nothing feels quite as sweet as tracking a bird for the first time....for a newbie like myself.

This is my first stab at a C-Band signal. Altogether took me about 30mins to get it...

....quite thrilling when you see that signal go GREEN!



VIVA FTA.

Thanks to all yous out there who put up valuable bits of information on these FTA threads.

God bless you all.

IRIB3 here I come!!!

Why not track Intelsat 20 @ 68.5east KU band for MFM frequency / symbol rate; 12602V26657 and more Christian TV CH..

or Telstar 11N @ 37.5west 10965 V 3300
Dish size 60 to 90cm dish!

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Yonderguy(m): 8:42am On Aug 21, 2014
odilibe: @Mr yonderguy....if this frequency you post exist on eutelsat at 7.3west as Mbc channel frequency .it will interfere with AD frequency on nilesat 201 which is 12092 V 27500...
[quote author=Talenty]There is no MBC on this frequency. I have pro sports on 1.2 meters but since MBC movies disappeared, the dish cannot get nilesat signals. Even 1.8m cannot track Nilesat or badr4 in south south Nige Yes guys you may know more about the theories far better than I do but my post is not an article from a comic book. Here's the prove or fact taken this morning. Food for thought, because you can't have something or don't have something doesn't mean that those who say they have are liars.
Pictures coming........

alright...my celebration was a bit premature. irib3 aint popping up but I can get aljazeera at 74% on 4056Hv247999.

those of you guys that have irib3 what is your skew while standing in front of the dish?


i am using a 6-petal 1.35 dish on a 4922 decoder.

when i am on 3.964v30000, i can sometimes see it go green momentarily but it only stays for a second and goes back red

any tips you can give me...


help!
