Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by finegirl233: 10:06am On Dec 09, 2023 |
I just finish reading how dstv and gotv has increased their price and cant help but share this here. I think its high time we boycot this paytv's and flow with fta which is very affordable unless you are living comfortable. I don't have a solution for football lovers but football is not everyday so we can be watching it outside during weekends. What i'm going to share is not hearsay, i'm actually using it presently. |

Can I use my dstv dish for FTA? Or how does it work pls.. |
Re: Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by Yampotatocarrot(m): 9:54pm On Dec 09, 2023 |
How does this work? You have three dishes, do you connect them all to one decoder or how exactly? I never even use two dishes at same time before |
Re: Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by finegirl233: 10:42am On Dec 10, 2023 |
Bobbyunitedfc:Yes. Dstv dish is most preferred for fta, only one of it can can access to most channels i put up there. If you have a dstv dish already, buy a strong decoder and you are good to go. |
Re: Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by finegirl233: 10:54am On Dec 10, 2023 |
Yampotatocarrot:YES. I connect everything to a single decorder using a discq. Any installer can do it for you. Do this connection and thank me later, buy a big dish(like dstv or any one that have same size with the blue dstv dish) then get a small dish with a strong decorder and you will watch everything you like for free. The setup cost me close to 30k that time but it is worth it |
Re: Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by Yampotatocarrot(m): 11:48am On Dec 10, 2023 |
finegirl233: A DStv dish, a strong decoder, any name for the small fish or anyone goes? That's all, the installer knows what he'll do, I don't need to give any special instructions or tell him I want it for FTA? |
Re: Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by finegirl233: 6:17pm On Dec 10, 2023 |
Yampotatocarrot:Where is your location, i can show you how to fix it yourself. My only problem is travelling far as a lady due to my security. Or when you get those things, mention me here for more direction. What you need is 1big dish(dstv size is preferred) A small dish. Anyone A strong decorder 1 discq 1 extra LNB Coaxial cable that can connect where you fix the fish to your room. That is all |

finegirl233:How do I fix it |
Re: Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by finegirl233: 9:48am On Apr 12 |
bobkezel:Hello, Do you fix it already? |
Re: Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by bobkezel(m): 10:36am On Apr 12 |

Re: Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by finegirl233: 11:18am On Apr 12 |

We should have went private but (1)i promise myself not to chat anyone outside nairaland based on a past ugly experience (2)another person can also learn from here directly. |

finegirl233: I have managed to couple and install it. E no gree find station. |
Re: Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by finegirl233: 1:31pm On Apr 12 |
bobkezel:Are you sure you coupled it well? 1. Look for any house that has a dstv installed. Observe where the dish is facing and position your dish in that direction too. 2. Connect your co-axial cable from the lnb to your decorder. Btw which decorder are you using? 3. Connect your tv and your decorder to a power source. Also connect your av cable from your decorder to the tv.Your screen will show no signal. 4. Press "menu" button on your decorder remote, your tv screen will display many options. If nothing shows up, check your av cable connection and remote battery. Its just same as connecting a dvd. If your menu page displayed, you are good. 5. Select the "installation" icon on the tv using your decorder remote. 6. If asked for a password, just press 0000 and the installation page will open. If u are not asked for password, you are still good. Just open the "installation" icon. U just started |
Re: Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by finegirl233: 1:43pm On Apr 12 |
8. You will see many satelite names on your screen depending on your decorder type. Navigate to a satelite of your choice and press ok. 9. You will see a dropdown menu. A yellow,red,green and blue. Check the color and has "add tp" and press the same key color on your decorder remote. Then another sub-window will open. 10. Where you see frequency, input 12245. Where you see symbol rate input 27500, where you see polarization change it to H. Then press ok If you can do this 10steps. You are good to go |
Re: Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by finegirl233: 1:57pm On Apr 12 |
Now go back to where you mount your dish. 1. Make sure the pole on which you mount the dish is straight. 2. Your lnb should be at 9 o'clock. 3. There are some nuts at the sitting of your dish, loosen them so that you can be able to move your dish both horizontally and vertically. 4. Remember to keep your tv where you can see the screen well when holding your dish. 5. Now you must have seen two lines on your screen, one will indicate quality while anothe will indicate strength. Be watching those lines carefully. 6. Start moving your dish up and down slowly, if nothing changes on the two lines on your screen, you move your dish to your right small, the continue your slow up and down movement. When you see that the position in which you saw the already installed dstv is far from your fish, start moving it to your left while repeating the slow up and down movement.. Just make sure that you cheat every angle in that position and i believe you will get signal. |
Re: Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by finegirl233: 2:02pm On Apr 12 |
Getting signal means the two lines on your tv screen will increase and shown in percent at the extreme end of each line. If you can do this, mention me. I will prefer you add pictures. Thank you |
Re: Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by bobkezel(m): 4:21pm On Apr 12 |
finegirl233:Nos 1to 4 is done and ok. No 5... I didn't see the installation icon, guess I have to recheck again.. |
Re: Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by finegirl233: 4:26pm On Apr 12 |
bobkezel:With due respect, i need pictures on what you did. I'm tired with this already. Which decorder are you using? Any free to air decorder that you press menu on your remote control, the installation icon should appear. |
Re: Paytv Price Hike; A Better Alternative Is Here. by bobkezel(m): 7:48pm On Apr 14 |
finegirl233:Thanks a lot sis, I was finally able to get the channels. |
