what are their names? Apollo should be free for the next 1year while others could come with you buying the accounts

Go menu, network ie spanner and screwdriver. Then scroll down down to key edit and select powervu or bisskey and add or edit. That's all.

or Installation, then go down to the last list "Patch"

Good morning house

Quick update i install the software i got from crosat.us earlier on before their website started this current malfunctioning & i was able to access the bisskey menu using F8280 however i left the AFN Network on to see if it will open it but till now its not opening it . If there's any other process i will appreciate it. thanks

Good day house
Quick update concerning my quest for a software for SRT 494k decoder currently i can access the Bisskey menu with the Software i posted above however this particular software doesn't offer Option link but ended on OTA Menu only so one has to constantly press F8280 to Access Bisskey menu & it doesn't open AFN Network either. So am still searching for SRT494k Decoder Software that can open AFN Network just like Srt 4954H does. Meanwhile SRT494k Decoder picture quality is out of this world particularly when watching Hispasat Channels & all the audio sound working very well unlike srt 4954H. So Gurus pls if anyone here is using SRT494k Decoder to watch AFN Network satellite plsssss indicate the software being used with a link for download 🙏 Thanks.

I don't think the decoder is a multi stream decoder like srt 4954h. So it may not open AFN channels

It's 💯Multistream high grade 4k display decoder far more advance than 4954H in fact 28e Multistream frequency is playing on it. i needed someone who is using it on AFN Network satellite to share his experience because i feel its a software issue. it also come with there usual 13 months forever server account. But the major factor is the price tag on this decoder is very high hence people are shying away from it but it what's the price though. Hopefully other users can share there solutions. Thanks

What is free to air FTA ?

FTA stands for Free-to-Air.
In the context of satellite television, FTA refers to television channels or broadcasts that are transmitted without encryption or subscription fees, making them freely available to anyone with the necessary equipment.

Characteristics of FTA satellite TV:


1. No subscription fees
2. No encryption
3. Openly transmitted signals
4. Receivable with standard satellite equipment
5. Available globally (depending on satellite footprint)

FTA satellite TV offers:

1. International news channels (e.g., BBC News, CNN, MBC, DW, Aljazeera)
2. Public service broadcasts (e.g., PBS)
3. Educational channels (e.g., Discovery)
4. Religious channels ( Loveworldsat, MFM, Redeemed RTM, Deeper Life )
5. Local and regional channels (Ait, Channels, Tvc News)
6. Some sports and entertainment channels

To receive FTA satellite TV, you'll need:

1. A satellite dish (size varies depending on location) 60/90cm - 5m
2. An LNB (Low Noise Blocker)

#SIMPLE_STEPS_TO INSTALL_ANY_SATELLITE.

how to
locate a particular satellite position when
installing Satellite?

Things you need to know and put them on your
brain. You need to understand that satellite
television positions are on EAST & WEST
POSITION. The technicality to locate a
particular satellite position manually is very
vital.
To locate a satellite positions on East
position, you need to understand that the lower
the satellite degree, e.g Eutelsat 7 degree East
or 3 degree, the higher your dish will face up.
That means when the satellite degree is lower,
you need to elevate your dish higher. In the
same way, the higher your satellite degree, e.g
Intelsat 68.5 degree East, the lower your dish
position. That means, your dish position will
face down when the satellite degree is higher.
One thing you should also know is that, when
the degree is lower, the higher you move or
elevate the dish higher to the right. In the same
way, when the is higher, you move, shift or
elevate your dish lower to the left. A good
example is Intelsat 20 @ 68.5 degree East.
Finally, when tracking satellite position
on west position, it is almost the same method
but there is slight different. Know that West is
opposite East. In tracking satellite position on
west, understand that the lower the degree, e.g
Abs 3, the higher you elevate your dish. This
time, you will move or elevate to the left as
against East position which is right when the
degree is lower. Also when the degree is higher,
e.g 70 degree west, the lower your dish will
become, this time it is shifted to the right.

HOW TO MERGE satellite..

The simplest and easiest method is this...

To add an lnb to any dish...The higher in degree goes up,the lower in degree goes down
1.if I track nigcomsat(42°) and want to attach tstv(45°)
I will attach tstv on the top of the dish because 45° is higher in degree(number)
2. I track mytv(16°)
I want to add multi TV(28.2°)
I will add it Above..


Always add larger frequencies above

3. I track 7°W
And I want to attach 3°W
I will attach it below...
That's the simple trick..

4. I track nigcomsat I want to add multi tv
I will add it below..


NB: always add lower degrees downward and add higher degree upward...

Learn it

INSTALLING MULTIPLE LNBS ON A SINGLE
DISH

Installing multiple lnbs on a single dish may not
be easy but is one of the ways to track a lot of
satellites if you can not afford two or three
dishes to track them separately.

The key to this, is patience. It may be difficult at
the begining but fun in the end.
Yes it is true that you can receive more than one
satellite on a single dish.
The question is how would you know which satellites can combine on one satellite dish.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO COMBINE

1. The satellites beam must cover your location.

2. Is the satellites located in the same cardinal
hemisphere (East or West)

3. Is the orbital angle between the satellites is
less than 20 degree?
The orbital angles are usually written together
with the name of the satellite e.g. Astra 2F 28.2
deg east.
name> Astra 2f
orbital angle> 28.2e
with this in mind it is easy to calculate the
difference between two satellites.

Example: The difference between ASTRA 2F
28.2e and AMOS 517e is 28.2-17=11.2
this is less than 20deg so it means one can track
the two together on a single dish.

4. The next question is how will i know the distance
between the two lnbs when fixed together.
The difference between the orbital angles is not
the same as the distance between the lnbs.
some of the satellites you can track together
with a single lnb.
example Eutelsat 7 and Ses 5
Amos5 and eutelsat 16
Astra 2f and Badr5
intelsat 20 and Eutelsat 70B.others you will need another lnb.

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by memrs2023: 4:53pm On Nov 13
Hello Everyone Good day to you all.

I’m finding it somehow difficult to use my newly acquired strong Decoder( 3GSTRONGS 5050) to get updated Channels. The dish is intact as I only removed the previous decoded because it got burnt and replacing it with this newly acquired one. After the first initial scan it’s not showing those channels like the MBCs and the rest. Please can anyone help me out with any suggestions or advice or tips to utilize it optimally and also on how to activate the free iptv it comes with( this is my first time using this strong 5050 decoder).

Hello Everyone Good day to you all.

I’m finding it somehow difficult to use my newly acquired strong Decoder( 3GSTRONGS 5050) to get updated Channels. The dish is intact as I only removed the previous decoded because it got burnt and replacing it with this newly acquired one. After the first initial scan it’s not showing those channels like the MBCs and the rest. Please can anyone help me out with any suggestions or advice or tips to utilize it optimally and also on how to activate the free iptv it comes with( this is my first time using this strong 5050 decoder). Your thoughts will be highly helpful and much appreciated

I doubt your h.264 decoder will give you better channels

Couple of interesting FTA channels are open
