vicyear4us: o
plz side are u; am 4m osun state in osogbo i try it but not show its red.

Good Morning Vicyear4us,

I am residing in Kenya..
Below Amos 5 West Central Africa beam and my Location.


The reason why your receiver is not turning green on Frequency 11155 V DVB-S2 QPSK SR 49996 is due to the high Symbol rate (SR 49996)
Most receivers in the market can only handy DVB-S2 modulation set @ 10 - 30Msps (SR 10-30000)
Most likely your receiver can not decode beyond SR 30000.

The images i have posted are from Strong Srt 4922 HD.
The Receiver can handle
DVB-S: 2 - 45Ms/s
DVB-S2: 10 - 45Msps (QPSK & 8PSK) as per tests carried out.

Snap shots of Infinity package taken today morning.

kibukila: Kungu and Pidzo I want to track Paksat 1R 38E,which tp is best to use using 1.8m prime focus dish my location is East Africa.

Good Evening,

Use frequency 4158 V DVB-S SR 12000 to track Paksat 1R

Your prime focus dish should face the Dstv position.

In Kenya the dish faces upwards.

Pidzo: Convergence Partners exits Africa satellite venture

A consortium led by Convergence Partners, formed by businessman Andile Ngcaba, has sold its 25.1% stake in satellite joint venture New Dawn to Intelsat South Africa for an undisclosed amount, it said on Wednesday.

Intelsat, Convergence Partners and Altirah Telecoms formed the $250m New Dawn in 2008 to provide satellite communications services to Africa.

The satellite was launched last year and commercial services started in June this year.

Mr Ngcaba, who is also chairman of Convergence Partners, said the New Dawn partnership was created to enable the parties to achieve specific objectives.

"The technical anomaly that resulted in the nondeployment of one of the satellite s reflectors precluded us from fully realising our broader objectives," he said.

"The venture was a landmark deal for Africa and fundamentally changed the way Africans participate in this critical sector and, as such, remains something we are very proud of."

Intelsat New Dawn s main objective is to deliver telephony, broadband internet access and media content to much of Africa. It also aims to address the capacity backlog faced by providers of wireless telecommunications, broadband services, corporate network services and pay-TV providers.

Good evening,

Intelsat New Dawn @ 32.9° East,

odilibe: lol...@BUG12 you should be aware by now that a refund or return policy law,warranty,guarantee and quality control of goods etc works well in the uk. @BUGS12 i should get you right..lol,may be will should do further analysis of inverto lnbs from the united kingdom vs available or other lnbs in africa/kenya to see which lnbs performs better or fake through George_D...

@George_D, since BUGS12 is claiming an availability of fake inverto lnb in the uk .. may be a further test should be done to ascertain fake inverto lnbf(s) in the uk...i will now be ordering a 0.2db high performance and high gain offset lnb from inverto.tv,the inverto black ultra quad on my own part/expense, so be expecting inverto black ultra quad in the box..you know what i mean....

Good Afternoon Odilibe,

I have import Inverto lnb's before from Pulsat website based in the UK and also satshop website based in Germany.

It would be interesting to note that the Inverto lnb,s i received from UK and Germany are made in China,
Reason being raw material are easily available and affordable in China plus labor to make them is cheap.
I have also imported sat receivers from both UK(Vantage receiver) and German (Dreambox, Az Box) and intersting thing once again, the receivers are made in China.

The best Inverto offset ku lnb i have tested to dated is Inverto Silver Tech 0.2dB Quad Output LNB...http://www.pulsat.com/products/Inverto-Silver-Tech-0.2dB-Quad-Output-LNB.html


It is also very interesting to note that Inverto Sliver tech 0.2 db Quad is the same as Eurostar QP4 GOLD lnb


While the best Inverto prime focus ku lnb is Inverto IDLP-001QDF Quad Flange LNB - 0,3dB + Invacom Adjustable feed horn ADF-120....http://www.satshop.tv/LNB-Flange-C120

The Inverto lnb,s we have in Kenya are from Dubai, UAE.
Best option for offset, Inverto Ultra Black Quad ....http://www.dmm-tv.com/inverto/qudl40.php


Other High gain Ku offset lnb's include, Megasat High Gain Single LNB 0.1dB 70dB, MTI AK54-XT2N Universal Quad LNB 40mm High Line - 0.2dB, plus Inverto Black Ultra IDLB-QUDL40-ULTRA-OPP Quad 40mm LNB 0.2 dB.

Mauritius Broadcasting Corporation selects SatLink for Olympics
Posted on July 26, 2012 by satelliteevolution


SatLink Communications has been selected by the Mauritius Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) to deliver the Olympic Games to Mauritius on the AMOS-5 C-band at 17.0 East. As the national provider of radio and television in Mauritius, MBC has selected SatLink’s Occasional Use (OU) facilities due to its ability to provide robust, reliable transmission services and for its extensive reach as a gateway to the African market from Europe.
MBC, a long term customer of SatLink whose reach covers the Republic of Mauritius and its outer islands including Rodrigues and Agalega, will be broadcasting all of the events involving Mauritian competitors as well as a subsequent daily highlights round-up programme in both the English and French language.
SatLink, who is also delivering the Olympics to Asia for other Tier One customers, has provided global OU services for more than 20 years for other major sporting events including: the FIFA World Cup, Tour de France and Formula One
David Hochner, CEO of SatLink, commented: “This is the summer of live broadcasting and we are delighted to providing our OU sports transmission services to MBC for these exciting Olympic Games. For a sporting event of this magnitude, broadcasters demand and want to transmit high quality and reliable coverage as it happens to their audiences. We have a long history and an unrivalled knowledge in providing live transmissions and with the AMOS-5 satellite providing coverage across the whole of Africa, SatLink is a true partner for broadcasters looking to deliver

Keep you posted.....

Supermanny: Hey guys after almost two years I have finally tracked Nilesat in Addis Ababa with a 1.8 M dish. I am using a strong SRT LNB and a Eurobox 9700+ FTA receiver. I am getting good signal quality. It seems I am picking up Almost all of the Eutelsat 7.3W frequencies and the free Nilesat 201 and Nilesat 101 transponders.

However, I am not getting any of the Nilesat 102 transponders. Currently my signal quality for the transponders ranges from 45 - 70+ with most in the 60s.
I also have about 12 other unaccounted TP and I am receiving CNN clearly. I want to get the Nile 102 transponders such as 11938, 11919 because I want to watch MBC and abu dhabi sports, dubai sports, basically the stuff that's on arabsat, which I was using.

Nilesat is advantageous for me since the Arabsat positioning of the dish results in water accumulating on it and required me to dump the water on a daily basis which was easy when the dish was on the ground. I now have the dish on the roof and it is the rainy season here so daily trips to the roof are no can do. But with nilesat the edge of dish is almost perpendicular so no accumulation of water or even loss of signal while raining.

Any ideas how I can get the nile 102 transponders? I currently have over 400 channels.

Good Morning Supermanny,

From you location in Addis Ababa, you should be able to get Nilesat 102.
From Satbeams, Nilesat 102 footprint covers your region with minimal required disk size of about 90cm offset...


Have you tried using a prime focus ku lnb like Fuji on your prime focus dish?
The lnb images posted below are meant for a prime focus dish setup.

Below setup of Member on R.D.I board (Bigphil) using a 6 footprime focus dish plus fuji prime focus ku lnb.


Try a 90 cm offset dish and give us your feeb back.
In Kenya i am getting about 850+ channels from both Nilesat 201 and Eutelsat 7 west (Atlantic bird 7) using a 1.5 meter offset dish plus Eurostar Gold quad lnb.
I can also get Nilesat 101 and 102, using a 2.4 meter offset dish.
Currntly my 2.4 offset dish is pointed on both Badr 5 and Badr 6 for FX channel, Luxe HD plus more.

All the best

satmaniac: Its something that has to do with RDI....

Good Evening Satmaniac,

Good Evening George,

BBC NEWS back on intelsat 10-02 c band frequency 4026 R (V) DVB-S SR 7324

Pidzo:

This is news worth waiting for. I once wrote to the BBC asking them the logic of giving Africa an Arabic FTA channel when they know pretty well that the majority of Sub Saharan Africans dont speak Arabic. The conversation was fine. It's my hope that this channel will last.

Thanks for giving voice to the Voiceless.
The mass needs to know what is going on around the world for free, thats why i give Al-jazeera News channel 5 Stars Rating for being an eye opener to the World and Africa.


Blessed Evening all...

George_D: @kungu,
Thanks for that sweet info. I'll have to swing to work to revive my motorized comstar dish.

Good Morning George,

The BBC News Channel has gone off air on Intelsat 10-02.
Will keep you updated,once the channel resurfaces.

George_D: @all,
For all those on nilesat, looks like the hunt for the new BBC World will be a bit tricky.

We'll have to wait and see though.

Good Evening all,

BBC English News is now transmitting FTA on Intelsat 10-02 C band East Hemi Beam,
Frequency 4025 R (V) DVB-S SR 7324...








Currently locked on the satellite using a 6 foot prime-focus dish plus super max lnb model 777.
To track Intelsat 10-02 C band use frequency 3977 L (H) SR 17777 hosting NBC (Namibian Broadcasting Corporation) tv channel.
