Happy new year all. Being at the background could be fun. Just felt i should make a little contribution. I have been a member for quite a while, but when i was really getting to love the site the most i was actually ignored. Well, no hard feelings, i got rescue or encouragement from Dre.

I reside in Ikeja Lagos and was stuck wit my fstv decoder and dish, after the scams decided they had made profit from the sales of their equipments, without apologies. Then, I started looking for a way to make good use of what i had lying around. This was how i stumbled across this site and group. I read all posts from inception even till date. The thing is that i am like wilson oruma in the sense that wen he was asked wat formation did the team use to achieve a particular victory, he said " ah, i no know o, what i know na say i tell, bonfrere, bonfrere play me and bonfrere play me nigeria score". No we mean like 4-2-4 or 4-4-2. His answer was ' we just go there and we play ball'. I said that story because im not too much of a technical guy, i go straight out for the practicals.

My experience: wen i was told by Dre, that I could get mytv channels with my fstv equipments in lagos it actually was a serious motivation. I had know basically wat i needed to know to begin an operation. The key was that the decoder was not totally useless .  That same nite, i was able to pick NSS7 fta witout moving my dish. I had about 6 channels. My thirst had increased cos wow, i could see. But there was a problem, those channels were french speaking and i dont understand french. To meake things even worse, about 2 or 3 of the channels were removed.

I decided to rotate my dish ( about 80cm or 85cm non-motorized) to the east to stand a chance at intelsat 7/10 fta channels. Dat was wen i got a headache after several hours of failed attempts. I couldnt give up. I was able to track Eutelsat W4/ SESAT @ 36 degrees east. I had to download a software called satellite antenna alignment. Dis software gave me an idea of angles i should use given my geographical area, which i got from google earth. I tracked for 5 days (day and nite) without any luck. Its not as easy as im saying it but the juice is that i succeeded.  I had even given up and decided to call a professional whom was billing me N5,000. Dat got me mad, like for wat? I had to walk around to watch dishes and still kept trying with a saying in my mind, no pain no gain.

Alas i got intelsat 7/10 @ 68.5 degrees east. Thanks to you all. Now, i have 34 free channels. My greed or should i say appetite has grown too. I can c dat pple r having etv decrypted, hmmm. So now on my agenda is how to decrypt channels with dis fstv decoder, then i may buy a 3m dish and start aiming for Hotbird 6/7b/8 and Nilesat . I hope one would payoff. after that i may increase my quest to decrypt channels on those birds.

My friend wit Hitv, yes u will only get tcm, its the free gift from mtn. U need to venture out, like try Intelsat 7/10. U just have to rotate ur dis a bit. Just be prepared most of the channels r gosple, just about 4or 5 none gospel channels. Peace,

Hi everyone, I guess I am the newest member in this forum. Well, I have been reading some of the comments and have learnt certain things. Just I need to ask some specific questions: 1. Can I use my fstv decoder or dstv (dsd 910) decoder. 2. Do I have to change the positioning of my dishes? I mean to pick the various degrees( ie vertically). 3. I reside in Ikeja and would love to know what are the possibilities of me receiving channels from different satellites without having to move my dish. Thanks for this great forum. Cruxifx(Cross).
