@odilibe,
Wao! The C120 looks just as cools as it sounds.
Please let us know when the others arrive.
This tripple LNB venture seems very well on track.
Thanks!

or maybe they're finally reacting to subscribers leaving their network in droves!

odilibe: Ikiriye&George...all the lnbs has been ordered i will let you guys know..when the they arrives..cheers. ;

@odilibe,
Thanks so much for your efforts. Please keep us updated when the LNBs arrive.
Cheers!

hello andymola,
without specific nameplate power ratings to work with i'm left with making a few assumptions
about your overall power requirement:

1pc twenty-one inch color tv will draw approximately 120w
3pcs fourteen inches color tvs will draw approximately 240w (80w x 3)
5pcs strong decoders will draw approximately 125w (25w x 5)

therefore total power consumption will be 485w
divided by 0.7 power efficiency this translates to 485w/0.7 which is 693w.
in 6 hours you will be drawing about 693 x 6 = 4,158 watt hours
so, you will need a battery bank that can output this amount of power within the stated time.

this is same as 4,158ah
but p=iv, therefore for a 48v system that will be 4158/48 = 86.625 or 87amp/hr (approx)

or for a 24v system, it will be 4158/24 = 173.25 or 173ah (aprox)

so for your answer, you need 4pcs of 12v 100ah batteries wired in series (48v) or 2pcs of 12v 200ah
batteries wired in series (24v).
you also need at least 800w of solar panels. if you're buying 200w sharp panels that will
translate into 4pcs for your needs.

ok, sophieamore. thanks for that info.

dreams,
please prepare for my october 1st special butter cake order oooo!

andymola,
give me the wattage (power rating) of your tv sets and decoders.
you can check the name plate at the back of the equipment for this.

Ikiriye: @ George d
Odilibe contacted my guy in UK,spoke with my contact he said he was going to transfer the cash to Odilibe's account today so I need to hear from Odilibe if that has been done.

@Ikiriye,
Thanks for the update. Everyone's eyes are now on you.
Please keep us updated.
Thanks!

hmmmmmmm! should have known that!

aye

folario:


Dos Channel are veRy much in operation so U'll need †̥ check or twist Ur LNB cuz I watched these stations before I left home dis Morning...Lagos,Nigeria

ok, copy that.

@obnelly,
I feel you my brother. Do let anyone dampen your spirit, ok?


@Ikiriye,
What's the update with the triple LNB project?

all,
i'm still putting things together for a major upgrade to my solar power installation.
details coming soon!

power finally got to my end of town, hurrah!

its not a laughing matter - contrary to your sarcastic tone.

ok, lets see where all this leads us.
waiting, watching!

very correct!

congrats! lets have the new name pls!

ok, keep the hopes up!

aye, i guess!

no mind am. show body!

@Ikiriye,
Please lets keep low on things like cardshare and CCCAM for the sake of FTA.
Remember such discussions ought to be off-topic.

Viva FTA!

grafikii,
you can get aljazeera 1-10 with 2.4m dish but signal may not be stable.
your best bet is 3m and above.

jahjehova,
2.4m at 18k is not bad but make sure the dish is not bent (warped) or dented.
for nilesat, besides the dish (which you're already palnning to buy, you need a strong
decoder preferably srt 4699x (for a start). you also need a good lnb like fuji, echosat
or digisat and or course cables and connectors. besides the dish i'd say you should be looking at
minimum of 25k for decoder, lnb, cables, etc.

obijack,
welcome back. those channels have gone off air for a while now.

yeah, it was in the headlines yesterday.
mtn finally slashes call rates!
who could have imagined the day?!

are you sure of this?

guys, lets not fret over nothing. multi-tv will remain free no matter what.

yeah, you can say that!
