Are the Ghanaian stations on 42e off or it's just mine?
Politics / Re: 2023 FAAC Allocation For Nigerian States - Before & After Fuel Subsidy Removal by Oronto: 7:28am On Mar 19
I see this as propaganda. If the said amount reported in naira and the source is dollar, with common sense the naira equivalent is suppose to be higher because the naira has lost its value to the dollar. So the increase is not real because the purchasing power of that money after subsidy removal is less. What the funds before subsidy can get, after subsidy thesame amount can't get it.

Please suggest an interesting Sat position. Already has a dish on nicomsat and another 1m wasting.

How did u set it right?
tWas hitting green on nicomsat frequency. But when I blind scan gives joytv channels... my solution was turn the lnb to 3o'clock.

I am tired of searching for nigcomsat,
I am not getting any signal even after imputing the transponder 12518 h 29500
Turned my dish to every angle but all I get is joy TV with their rubbish press news
make sure ur lnb is at 3 o'clock. I tracked for a friend sometime ago and was having same issue with yours. Not until the next day I reason it and set it right.
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Oronto: 5:26pm On Nov 13, 2023
Outside 42,28 and 26 degrees which other satellite with interesting channels is trackable with a 1m dish here in nigeria?

Rexnegro:
A quick one please, is tiger t10 a good decoder to use with dish? Cos a friend is always complaining whenever it rains it shows weak signal . I want to get those items from alaba so that installer can help install them but with my friend recent complains so I'm giving it a second tot
satellite is a straight ray from the sky to your dish. Once it rains it obstructs that Ray from hitting the dish in return giving a poor signal at the decoder end.

Is nigcomsat beta Dan joy tv
To me would prefer the current nicomsat. Even the person that it was installed for, the few day he watched the joy tv he preferred the nicomsat

Jacku:
what's the spec of the Nokia?
Nokia is a good brand too. Holding my wife's 6inch phone doesn't sit well on my palm, maybe I have gotten too used to smaller phones
Phones / Re: Why do phone companies no longer produce 5inch screens?? by Oronto: 8:02pm On Sep 10, 2023
Jacku:
I doubt if you would find.
I think Samsung s10e is a 5inch phone. Wish I can get a brand new not refurbished.
Phones / Why do phone companies no longer produce 5inch screens?? by Oronto: 12:53pm On Sep 08, 2023
Seems all the phone brands now produce big
screen phones and am not a fan of big
screens.

Can any one please suggest a current 5inch
android phone, preferably a Samsung but any
other good brand is welcome.

Penuelseun:
that means the position you tracked was joytv position, your dish will need to come down lower to get nigcomsat signal
when u say dish shld come down lower, tot 42 degree shld go higher than 28. Pls currect me
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Oronto: 1:40pm On Sep 01, 2023
philipbash:
depending on the skewing of your LNB, nigcomsat tp can give you joy tv signal. Try lowering your dish and see if you can get it. But if you don't get it, then engage a good installer and learn from him. Thumb up for making attempt
about learning I have installed severals. Just never had this experience of a hitting green on another frequency. Wld do as you have said but with a decoder on nicomsat already for easy result.

my confusion is why its hit green with the frequency
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Oronto: 7:38pm On Aug 31, 2023
Can a smart dstv lnb work with a free to air decoder? Because I tried installing nicomsat with 12518 h 29500 and nailed it. But when scanning it was joy tv that came out. Is the lnb the problem? Or the decoder?
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Oronto: 2:42pm On Aug 16, 2023
Is nicomsat down?

Buy.
it has been sold already. We are just discussing the indices

Isorshe:

It must have been in a very bad state to be sold at that price, you can hardly get a clean naija used 206 for less than 1mil.
with 300k everything can be restored I believe . Engine and body work .
Car Talk / Re: Advice On A 206 Peugeot by Oronto: 1:09pm On Jun 12, 2023
Isorshe:


I currently drive a 2004 206,
- Parts are expensive for an economy car that it's meant to be.
- Repair is not cheap either, you don't want to try every mechanic you see, for things as little as fixing your clutch, you must go with a peugeot specialist else you go round in circles.
- Dashboard clock keeps failing even after changing it, I have seen this with other 206 users.
- fuel economy is great but depends on your engine specs, drive pattern and load carriage.
- The car can accommodate a 406 or 307 engine also, gives you more power.
- Resale value is good, sales faster than other Peugeots.

My advice if you like the look of the car, and the offer is price is good, you can give it a shot, remember there are no bad cars or good cars.
Thanks for this detailed experience of yours you gave. Someone else got the car for 350.

Fragile electronics.. The older it gets, the more the electrical gremlins... Peugeot over-engineering

Expensive parts for what's supposed to be an economy vehicle.

Can only mostly properly be fixed by Peugeot experts with appropriate scan tools, etc...


Not worth the supposed fuel saving flaunted... I all these is my opinion of course.. I can't understand why anyone will want a vehicle which saves you a bit of fuel money, but takes it back and more in parts, cost of specialist repairs, and significantly higher fuel consumption if vehicle is put under any significant load..

It will likely be much worse with the scrap specimen you are about to put your money into... A bad engine means you can't fully ascertain the correct state of the car's electronics, gear, and suspension... These "buy and replace engine" cars hardly ever need only an engine to run fine..
Its a car he has been using and he is that certain that the engine is still OK. Am asking because I know the worst it can be is to change the engine and car have bn parked for more than 5months

Peugeot 206 stopped at 2006 replaced by 207. Peugeot engines aren't expensive sha depends on condition of vehicle. Go price engine and other contingency that needs to be done, remove from asking price
my bad it was 2006 I wanted to write, wld currect that now. Made inquiry for engine they said just half and top 190k, while complete is 250k
