Paps1:e.tv temporarily unavailable on Vivid platform Sentech can confirm that e.tv is temporarily unavailable on the bouquet of channels offered on the company’s Vivid Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite service. Technical improvements are being made to improve the security of the service. The Vivid service is available in Sub-Saharan Africa for viewers who purchase the Vivid decoders. Vivid viewers in South Africa receive e.tv on a free-access basis as part of Sentech’s Vivid bouquet. However, the Vivid platform is carried by satellite and the broadcast footprint therefore extends into Sub-Saharan Africa. Historically, the encryption software used in the Vivid decoder, protected the geographic integrity of the e.tv offering service outside of South Africa’s borders. Sentech have now learnt that this encryption software has been compromised and needs to secure the feed. --- Ends --- Issued by: Sentech Corporate Communications |

Freq: 11037 H 22498 TPA1 TPA2 PTPA RTPI RECORD TV PROMO CH COMMERCIAL CHANNEL BAND INTERNATIONAL QTV TV ZIMBO WOOHOO BAND NEWS TV BRAZIL DISCOVERY DISCOVERY KIDS MGM. So when you go for a Mpeg 4 Receiver go for a receiver which also has DVB_S2 or you will have to upgrade your receiver again in the near future. Daarsat is getting most of their channels from Telstar 10 c band frequency 3840 H 27500 RRsat http://www.lyngsat.com/t10.html and also thaicom 2/5 c band frequency 3450 H 13333 http://www.lyngsat.com/thai78.html The Strong Srt 4910 HD is patchable and you can get all updates from either http://www.crosat.org/upload/index.php?&direction=0&order=mod&directory=Strong%20Receivers/Strong%20WIZKID%20Files/Strong%204%20Middle%20East orhttp://www.crosat.org/upload/index.php?&direction=0&order=mod&directory=Strong%20Receivers/Strong%20WIZKID%20Files/Strong%204%20Africa So for all looking for a mpeg for make sure the hardware is also Dvb-S2. The system allows transmission of one or more MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 audio–video streams, using QPSK or 8PSK or 16/32APSK (amplitude and phase shift keying) modulation with concatenated encoding. Have a very blessed weekend |

Good afternoon all. Hi my Name is Kungu from Kenya and would like to share my exprience on Mpeg 4 Receivers. At the moment i have Echolink EL 7020 HD, Humax hdci2000, Dreambox 800 HD and strong Str4910 HD For Mpeg 4 reception the best receiver is Strong Srt 4910 HD receiver which comes with Blind scan Plus a sensitive turner card for fringe satellite receptions like Nilesat. IT is also patchable and comes with extra goodies The price goes for about 207$ in Dubai. One thing to note with satellites channels that most of the are moving from Dvb-s technology [DVB-S is the original Digital Video Broadcasting forward error coding and modulation standard for satellite television and dates from 1994, in its first release, while development lasted from 1993, to 1997. The first application was commercially available in France via Canal+, enabling digitally broadcast, satellite-delivered television to the public. } To Dvb s2 technology { Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite - Second Generation (DVB-S2) is an enhanced specification to replace the DVB-S standard, developed in 2003 and ratified by ETSI (EN 302307) in March 2005. The development of DVB-S2 coincided with the introduction of HDTV and H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) video codecs. The system allows transmission of one or more MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 audio–video streams, using QPSK or 8PSK or 16/32APSK (amplitude and phase shift keying) modulation with concatenated encoding, } So when looking for a mpeg 4 receiver make sure it is also Dvb-s2 or you will be missing a lot of new channels which are on trial at the Moment eg on Intelsat 902 C band the are 18 Channels from South Africa under Dvb s2 and 2 from Kenya Have a blessed afternoon |

chuk101:good afternoon all, Hi my name is Kungu and i reside in Kenya and i am very inspired by the Nairaland forum. I have a strong 4910 Hd receiver and would like to share my findings in your forum For mpeg 4 i would advice you to go for Strong Srt 4910 Hd which comes with blind scan and a super sensitive tuner for fringe reception Plus lots of goodies. You would be astonished that the are many channels moving to Mpeg 4 and Dvb s2 {Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite - Second Generation (DVB-S2) is an enhanced specification to replace the DVB-S standard, developed in 2003 and ratified by ETSI (EN 302307) in March 2005. The development of DVB-S2 coincided with the introduction of HDTV and H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) video codecs. The system allows transmission of one or more MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 audio–video streams, using QPSK or 8PSK or 16/32APSK (amplitude and phase shift keying) modulation with concatenated encoding. DVB-S2 is based on the DVB-S standard which is used for satellite broadcasting, and the DVB-DSNG standard, which is used by mobile units for sending external footage back to television stations. Two new key features which were added to DVB-S are: VCM (Variable Coding and Modulation) which optimizes the transmission parameters for various users Changing encoding parameters in real time (ACM, Adaptive Coding and Modulation) The authors claim that the DVB-S2 performance gain over DVB-S is around 30%. When the contribution of improvements in video compression is added, an (MPEG-4 AVC) HDTV service can now be delivered in the same capacity that supported an early DVB-S-MPEG-2 SDTV service only a decade before. On intelsat 902 c band we have 2 kenya channels on Dvb s2 and another 17 channels from south africa under testing till end of July 2009 Frequency 3816 H { L }4213 which has 2 channels NTV and EATN [ kenyan channels } Frequency 4026 H 9034 SABC 1 SABC 2 SABC 3 SABC ENTERTAINMENT SABC SPORTS SABC INTERNATIONAL SABC EDUCATION ETV ETV CLASSIC The strong Str 4910 http://www.strong-technologies.com/frmProdDetails.aspx?id=203 is sold at around 207$ in Dubai by The strong receiver agents. The receiver is also a Digital Terrestrial receiver for DTT. The Digital Terrestrial Television (DTTV or DTT) is an implementation of digital technology to provide a greater number of channels and/or better quality of picture and sound using aerial broadcasts to a conventional antenna (or aerial) instead of a satellite dish or cable connection. The strong Srt 4900 receiver is equally a good Mpeg 4 receiver and i think the price would be around 150$. The only difference is it has no terrestrial tuner card in it. The receivers are patchable and i get most of my software from eitherhttp://www.crosat.org/upload/index.php?&direction=0&order=mod&directory=Strong%20Receivers/Strong%20WIZKID%20Files/Strong%204%20Middle%20East or http://www.crosat.org/upload/index.php?&direction=0&order=mod&directory=Strong%20Receivers/Strong%20WIZKID%20Files/Strong%204%20Africa With blind scan i belive you will be amazed by the DVB s2 channels in your air space. BE blest all and continue inspiring all of us |
