Enibaba, oops I thought, . .thank u jare. would u blieve dat because of w2a somebody ordered humax box frm USA ,to him it does not matter if d signal is encripted 2day or 2morr, wat matters 2 him as an fta hobbist is d joy and pleasure he derives at d moment frm it and any other thing is secondary. nothing last 4eva

Microgaint, bros in fta no pain no gain. most of us here on this forum hav spent thousands of naira on fta equipment, especialy on receivers. when echolink and d rest came out we al had our doubt but some of us including me stil went ahead and bought it. what happened nex is history i guess. What about g+ people said it wil not last, it is stil working til today. A truely fta hobbist would neva stop experimenting, and would always prepare his mind 4d worst. like Enitan said enyoy while it last. na today I beg leave matter.

Buteoneday, tanx 4 ur cal. Olofofo am stil in d office would send it 2u as soon as i get home@ Enitan u wil ned dis box too o because one bad adult movie dey there too@ Oga badaru, would come 2 c u dis sunday.

Toxbaba, how u dey bros? don't wory when u land naija would reserve one 4u. d box is a digital H.264 dvb-t which uses video gateway technology. d providers use mass to re-transsmit its signal. d box has an inbuilt decoding system that lock up 2 d signal immediately u switch it on. it's half d side of our strong box. u can move it frm one room to d other without any hitch.

All, I want to blieve dat hitv management no matta how powerful they think they are cannot and wil not try and venture to people's compound looking 4 1.8m and above to confisticate, they should b ready 2 go to court. I wil sue them 4 whatever they are worth. Thank God we hav professionals in various field on dis forum. eg satellte engineers, lawyers, journalist, chartered, accountant, human right activist etc here in Nigeria aand abroad.

Oga badaru, u have said it all. excellent. let hitv face d issue of providing quality service and stop chashng shadows, like baba said. apart frm epl on hitv i wud rather pay to my tv africa. look at My tv Africa despite there low subscribtion they stil leave some of thier channels open weather u pay or not.

olofofo, i beg to disagree seriously with u. first b4 hitv came on board we had d likes of trend tv, fstv, etc due to d monopolistic nature of dstv they al went under due 2 content issue. d only surving one among them til date is my tv africa.they were able to survive due to d strategy they adopted by makin it affordable. let me tel u hitv also want to tol d line of dstv but bros they wil fail woefully because they dnt do there home work very wel b4 comin to d business. as par uefa most african tv statons carry it 4free. last wk I watched live 3 epl games 4free. even las nit i watched al d higlights of d epl , spanish league 4 free. what hitv should do is 2 partner with d cable operators and fashion out d way forward. cnn, fasion tv ,bbc, hbo, france 24, fox movies, etc are al free 2 air apart frm epl wentin again

All, on d issue of hitv taken Ctl 2 court and taken d laws into there hands by ransacking and taken away their equipment, i have one or 2 questions 4 dem. when did hitv turn 2 interpol arresting and knowing which company is pirating what company's content. 2. If as an individual I decided 2 use showtime card or aljazeera wil they cal dat piracy? hitv is jus angry and jealous dat people hav alternative to there premium hi rubbish channels that they make noise about. without epl hitv is finished. in as much as I don't support piracy of content i stil blieve in live and lets live. some of this so cal premium channels provided mosly by sky uk to our pay tv operators in Africa are actualy free in most european, Arab countries, even in Africa. wit d rite equipment and d needed expertise u can get some of dis stations 4 free. fta 4ever!

@Oga Badaru, hop u hav not 4gotten d issue we discussed concerning d fibre dish? pls baba I ned it badly. @ all, HBO now free on intelsat 7/10c. fantastic 24hrs movie channel.

all, go africa on w3a now subtitle there films in english, i want 2 blieve dis is a welcome devlopment hop other french stations do so too.

All, have noticed on this forum dat some members failed to disclose there location ie state/country. pls when passing out info or asking questions let us make sure dat we giv details so dat who ever wants to make use of sure info would know weather it applies to his or her region. this very important. one luv

Olofofo, sorry no show as per w2a on 10east. using my 1.8m nothing came up, even yesteday at Oga Badaru's place we tryed to see if it will come up but nothing nothing. according to flysat the beam is meant for west Africa but to my surprise no signal was the result. Saw the small but migthy dreambox at Baba's place but the issue I  have with it is the internet required connection thing.
@ Jossebless, you can check ALABA International Ojo for the remote.
@ LYNKSMAN, pls let me know were to meet you so as to return that thing.

obnely, bros I DEY OO am doing some feed hunting as usual.

niddle 9, saw your mail. u never sleep make fta no kill u oooo. wetin u want take 5m dish do for lag when with 1.8 you can hit cnn at 66% signal qty 0n nns 7c band. you even have access to there feed. @butoneday, congrats! no bi small thing oo 1100 channesl men carry go jo.

olofofo, it is not the no of stations that matter but what matters most is do you derive a enough pleasure from it? if the answer is yes weather it is 90cm or 1.8m or 2.4 etc the bottom line is satisfaction. let me tell u little of what i enjoy 1.News- bbc, skynews, cnn, france 24,aljazeera, cctv9, dawn news etc u might want to say sky news and bbc is not 24hrs I AGREE but who will want watch news for 24hrs 2.Series and Soap operas- Dr phill, oprah, heroes, g unit, 24, prison break, smallville, americals nex top model, mammas boy, judys court, etc sport 3.premier league, la liga, spanish league, scottish league carling cup, uefa, caf cup, boxing, wwf wresling, athletics, etc 4.drama- jacobs cross, african movies, etc 5. documentary 6. comedy- gags just for laugh, etc.  I know u would say most of the soaps i mentioned are also on nile but bros kaki no be leather. pls take a little time to check and see for yourself. apart from u having to change the satellite positions WHICH with time u get used to it. Some of this so called African channels eg ktn, tim, sabc, visat 1, eatv , pulse, crtv, mbc 3, show the best of talk shows, sport and series more than those arab fta on nile. pls do give it a try. I know you have been there b4, but not now believe me.

skalamanga, u can watch the nations cup on nta on intelsat 905 for free. @ ALL, without updates on nile i can tell u categorically clear that u can do away with it. a motorised 1.8m 3 in 1 lnb setup can give u almost what u need.is it soap opera, sport, music, news, african movies,etc name it, and  u dont' need any update to watch them which u cant' on nile, I know what am saying cos have seen it all. Am not saying nile is not ok but with 1.8m motorised you are better off, imagine i have close to 13 fta stations showing the nations cup.Even the mbc1-4, fox movies, mbc max, mbc action, fox series, they show old movies but check out TIM on intersat 906c and see current movies in english and sub titled in spanish men you go bow not to talk of EATV lastest music compilelations,etc etc I stand to be corrected!

ALL, I have said it time and time again that 2m national on w6 is the most nauthiest bird in sub-saharan Africa. this past wkend WITH MY 1.8m motorised while trying to watch chelsea vs sunderland using this freq 11653, on a good day gives me 56-58 signal qty suddenly dropped to 0 qty. i quickly used the 2nd freq 11669 that one gave me 70% qty but no audio and video, I said to myself what nonesence is this! i said ok let me try to reduce the qty of the signal, u guys won't blieve this when it got to 56% qty the picture popped up on the screen, at first it was cracking but after a while it became vey stable. my advise is this u must be ready for surprises when u want to nail 2m national. U must be very very patient. is this a general problem across Africa? views are welcome.

ALL. For those still missing e-tv, formally on pas7/10 here is another chance for u 2 c it again shape sharp quickly do a blind scan on sirius 4 and enjoy though is a feed. enjoy

Hoptinto, from experience have learnt not to rely on lynsat or flysat or whatever sat for info on new freq i just do my scan, for now u won't find the freq there pls rescan.
@borderline, same here with mine.

all, voa america and some other funny channels now on nss703, just rescan and enjoy

lynksman, would try and see baba this wk end so as to collect the sky hd remote control. am very sorry for the delay.

this is Nigeria anything can happen! weather dead or alive it doesn't really matter. live goes on.

All, the nations cup is around the corner, go get ur set tuned to tpa on w3a and enjoy unlimited coverage of the nations cup stating on the 10th of Jan 2010. Don't be decieved by those pay tvs advert that they have exclusive right to show them, Apart from the station I mentioned above.

Would like to thank the following tv stations  for keeping it clean and free in no particular order 1-sabc 1-3, mbc 1-4, 2m national, ktn kenya. tv mozambique, go africa, lc2, cnn, bbc, aljazeera, cctv, citizen tv,direct 8, mbc maritius, crtv, mbc max, wikky plus, fox series, tv africa, dubai one. mtv arabia, mbc persia, space toon english, Ad tv sport, fox movies,france 24, capital, itv, star tv, tv5, dw- africa, eatv,ch 10,tbc1, smile of a child.free to view, stv1, jsc sport, vaisat one1. just to mention a few, lets do it again guys. fta for eternity!
