a summary of my failed hunt today. location: Maiduguri north east Nigeria. dish size 2.4m. had set out to track paksat. I used the frequency 4007v15555. after over 2hours of sweat in the hot Maiduguri sun, my efforts were greeted with red bars. I gave up on it and decided to hunt down idman. I used the tp 3730v30000. I got green in less than 10min. I was optimistic that after changing to my Ku band lb, I'd hit green but to my utter dismay, the bars were redder than ripe miango pepper. all efforts proved abortive. I then moved over to hunt for Eri TV. it was another difficult task but as I was about giving up, I hit green on 12523 v 6000. I was about rejoicing when I imputed the frequency for eritv on 10832 V 2780 but once more I hit red. after over 7 hours, I got nothing to show for it. am so sad but I've not given up. I still believe these channels are receivable and I'll continue d hunt. anyone with useful suggestions should please assist.

you have done well " that's the spirit of FTA don't give up as others have adviced bcus your success will encourage people like me , I quiet remember the time of IRIB 20e I modified my 1M dish to track it & I was successful then even last Sunday I tried the same on Intelsat 20 68e C but not successful bcus of too many blunders in front of my dish however i decides to go for full 1.8M dish & also reposition it to avoid blockages.
So soldier on Viva FTA. My regards to all the Gurus in the house.

Yup you r correct!!, Startimes sports arena, Startimes world football and Startimes sports life were all launched on Friday and they still FTA!.
BUT they are soon gonna be be encrypted, Enjoy the Bundesliga and Serie A on them while it lasts sha

Am being tempted to buy their Starsat HD decoder version , 3600 for 3 months as first time subscribers & 3600 for full sub monthly for Series a, bundisliga, French liga, Champions league, Europa league, Europa qualifier, who knows in future LA liga as well. I think Startimes has come to stay in Africa. Guy's 3600 for all this is mouth watering & they deserve our petronage & support, with this move gradually Compition will give subscribers more choices to make in Sub sahara Africa.

@all Bundislida Stugart V Koln live Startimes Sports Arena Channel. 12418 V 27500.Astra 4a 5 e.Happy Veiwing. Viva FTA.

My decoder was displaying LNBF when I came back from my Vacation in Naija so I took it to Strong Office after all my efforts to ratify it failed eventually they get it done after two weeks because the initial repair they did didn't workout so I returned it to them
Finally they get it right however they suggested that I should check the lnb on my dish meanwhile am using 6 dish with 7 lnb mounted on them . members what I discovered was shocking ,all the seven lnb's was burned including the diseqC switch as well as the decoder hence the display of LNBF but in all i thank God its well .Gradually am changing all the lnb & the 8in1 switch. So this my experience I want to share & Tunder Strike was the cause. Thanks viva FTA.

agkilis:
take my advice dont try it yourself,i have fixed it for someone i can tell you that if it is the stb that has the tiny lines when pulling the the three leg ic or transistor it use to be so strong if not careful you can damage the lines

Actually I never intended doing it myself however my only regrate is that had it been that it developed this fault b4 I traveled I would taken it along & repair it at Alaba but am back to Accra meanwhile the dealer I talk to this evening told me to take it to their Office which is very far for me & no guarantee they will repair it immediately( Cantonment Accra) however intend to take it to a place in (Zongo lane Accra) & see if they can fix it for me. Thanks for the Advice. Viva FTA.

manhattan3G:


Yes u can do it yourself, U will need a star screw driver for opening your stb & a soldering iron for melting the 3 legs of the transistor or better go for a trained personnel to do it for u Sir.

thanks

manhattan3G:


worry not my friend the lnb tuner is ok but the transistor which changes V/H polarity is dead,remove this transistor(TP 42C) and replace it with a similar type or with a different number on it.It once happened to me and thus i resolved the lnb display on my stb.This is caused by contacts of the lnb cable.

Thanks so much , May God bless u abundantly for this response am panicking almost but thanks to you
Meanwhile I was busy at work hence this late response to you however pls how do I go about removing the transistor? Should I open the box & remove it then go & get a new replacement by my self? Pls Advice Thanks. Waiting for your reply.

Happy weekend to all forumites & all our Gurus
I arrived from travel & on my decoder [4922A HD] its signals was red across board with LNBF display on it I thought initially it could be partial contact between tiny wire & the F connector but after I check my disec switch it still continue then I decide to run the cable direct to the decoder still no green signal on any of the sat tested so i realise that the LNB INPUT Connector at the back of the decoder is the problem .Pls Gurus in the house can it be changed? Or is it a different problem altogether, pls anyone with such experience advice me what to do before going for repair work to avoid them damaging my decoder.Pls help for the past 4days now I have not been watching any satellite channels in my House. Waiting for Helpful Response. Viva FTA.

bein sports/hd is encrypted on viaccess 2.6/3.0 not biss encryption...but FTA on fransat decoder in europe...
last time I checked my BBC signal on nilesat201 was much stronger than entv on 5west Ku band! you may require 1.8 to 2.4m prime focus for entv steerable on 5west!though close to zamfara may need 1.2m offset as recommended dish size on steerable beam!
On bein sports Ku super beam I doubt any blink on 3m dish!

Thanks Gentlemen ,Eminent gurus in the house for quick response. Its off limit for me (Bein Sports) out of 7e was a big blow indeed.Just hope & pray a day will come were local investors will summon courage to bid for football Rights of 4 Major league in Europe In a form of joint venture after securing the Right Surely with this approach the monthly fees will be much lower with enough sponsors on board .
Nigeria has the market already much bigger than other African markets.Just my Own thoughts though.

Well first thing first in all this story Adebayo's father was rarly mentioned that in it's self speak volume , Again people suggesting he shouldn't have come public with his story is not helping matter's at all , look folks their are many Athletes going through hell over this same issues Espcially over here in Africa & other Continent as well so is not strange, What Adebayo is disclosing today is a pure lesson for others out there.

The solution is simple (Divine Help) already Adebayo knows his Mother have issues spiritual wise hence the idea of going to SCOAN earlier but she ran away bcus what's in her can't stand the heat &
This is were his mother's family background comes in to all that is happening to them bcus already that same Forces from the mother has completely ruin the Father so its obvious the Father doesn't have a say in the Family Affairs. Finally A Prophetic Ministry is the Permanent Solution bcus the problems is Spiritual in Nature.

(1) The Mother have to go back to SCOAN or Other Ministry with the same gift from Above for Solution. Adebayo with God all things are Possible , hang on to Faith and Soldier on in your Football Career.

pazienza:


Igbos weren't Akintola that made the Yoruba Ronu hate speech that was made to fill the heart of Yorubas with hatred for Ndiigbo.

They weren't the Saraduna that made the hate speech against Ndiigbo, the video is still in U tube.

They were not the Oba of Bini that was busy writing xenophobic articles against Ndiigbo.

All these before the War.


Ndiigbo never had any history of hate speeches against any Nigerian group before the War, all we ever did was take pride in our achievements as a people, we were only concerned with our development as a people, cos the Igboman believes he has no competition in Nigeria, he believes that all he needs to do is be his best, and no other Nigerian group can match his best.

But your tribal leaders fed you lots with Igbophobia, rather than focus on improving yourselves, you all were more interested in pulling the Igboman down, to stay in the mud with you, Nzeogwu only gave you lots an excuse to pour your then over flowing hatred on the Igbo nation.

You left Ndiigbo with no choice. It is now obvious to us that we must return your hatred for us, with a billion times hatred for you lots, actions bring reactions, reactions are often opposite to actions, but hardly equal.

My bro Lecture them Because Ndi Igbo is with a divine foundation from above else why has Osewa made it a duty to trive with tribal hate threads against Ndi Igbo with his Nairaland blog?Fellow Nigerians their is nothing anyone can do about it Ndi Igbo are blessed from above " They have midas touch of Success in all they do & you can't compete with them in any field of endevour & our Leaders knows this hence the hatred & maginalizatio political wisewise. Nigeria needs them more than they need Nigeria, Ndi Igbo Leadership are not known for hate speech against other tribes .look folks the day Igboman is Elected the President of this Country will be the day good Fortune from above will smile on us for Massive industrialisation/equity , justice & fairness with a powerful economy that other nation & enemies of Nigeria will be marvel at else we continue dancing in circle without no destination as a Nation. Hate them or like them they are Great People.

egift:
All the unbelievers will be disappointed. From day one you guys have promised and projected one disappointment or the other, but Buhari has always defeated your negativities.

One the points you mention, here is my take:

1. His party:
The APC is a party we all can see its origin and evolution. It grew from nothing and gradually/rapidly gain traction through deliberate efforts not accidents. The party was built from scratch. The PDP on the other hand was just put together in 1997 - 1998 and since then had never been tested. This is the time for PDP to start building their party for the very first time. Unlike APC, they don't have the will and enthusiasm. Just a quest to get power come 2019 (and if they fail, the rats will jump off the sinking boat faster than they came).

2. His leadership
Buhari has proven time without number to be a man who can hold he ground in the face of any change. And being surrounded by people who also understands leadership, he will achieve a lot. Buhari have all the experiences and lessons he needs to succeed. Also he is free from greed, which the biggest factor that destroys many Nigeria leaders.

3. His precedent
Before even taking this position as President, Buhari understands the problem facing Nigeria and the enormity of the challenges. Until Jonathan's 2015 New Year's message, GEJ did not consider Corruption a major problem. But Buhari since 2013 have insisted that if Nigeria will develop, Corruption must be tackled. While the expectations are very high, by running a transparent system of governance and making tangible delivery, Nigerians are very willing to be patient with him to deliver.

4. His popularity
Buhari is popular among the masses because he understands and fight for their interest. In fact Buhari could have been president before now if he pursued the interest of the corrupt elites. In the north, despite the follower-ship among the people, their elites always frustrate him out just to protect their loot. With the masses behind Buhari and by delivering solution to the problems facing Nigeria, Buhari will leave a solid legacy as both President, Commander-in-Chief and Father of Nigeria.

Summery:
The things you consider as setbacks for Buhari, is rather his driving force. I see a New and better Nigeria ahead. Sai Buhari. God bless Nigeria.

with a lopsided Federal system? You talk of Buhari / APC as if they are Saints , May God Deliver Nigeria from another Evil Gang Up Amen.

Sweetguy25:
Lol. Their lies and scam tactics have begun.
Buhari shouldn't have picked this job at this age. He should have just retired an watched Nigerian politics from his livingroom.

Nigerians are very very impatient and if by this time in 2017, there are no major improvements in their standard of living or in infrastructure, they will start to bitterly complain and grumble of bad governance and corruption.

That was how they treated President Yar'Adua till the man died of pressure.
Two years into YarAdua's tenure, they began to call him baba go-slow.
The same thing happened to Jonathan, only Obasanjo was spared in his first tenure. Buhari won't be spared.

Buhari has no other options or choices but to perform miracles and magic. That was why nigerians voted you in. They want the magic and miracles that Buhari and his party promised to be delivered in three years.

If Nigerians begin to miss GEJ in three years, Buhari you are as good as gone!

pls Fellow Nigerians my major concern is rather than this litany of I will do this I will do that , First thing first Restructure the Country on a true Fiscal Federalism & every other things will fall in place, states will grow at it own pace, if you choose to crate more LGA its all yours , more states all yours , state police so far such state can finance it ,anything less than this Buhari Government is already dead on arrival looking at his age & health but being a northerner that benefits from their lopsided arangement through military fiat its business as usual judging by the kind of people that finance his campaign. May God have mercy on Nigeria.

@ All, Happy Easter & Christ like love to everyone , I must say that since the advent of FD 1 & FD 2 / BADR 26e my joy for Entertainment /Movies & Sports/ Football knows no bound as i write am enjoying live NBA / not to of talk live Tennis Open then comes all the Mighty Leagues in Europe except EPL .

dish size?

1M dish.

Morroco 1 v 0Congo Brazzaville 50 minit live Aradiyaa Eutelsat 7.8 West NWA beam.11475 v 27500. Happy viewing

Caf Champions League Mats of Morroco 3 Kano Pillars 0 .End of Ist half @ Eutelsat 7.5 W NWA beam 11475v 27500. From my observation the Referee is bias against kano pillars ,the two goals they conceded is purely offsides but the ref allowed it to stand its a shame. Hope they can reduce the tally in the second half.
