Guy if you're a newbie contact a pro to help, I have 1.8 meters plus 2 mini dishes that gives me close to 500 channels strictly FTA, ranging from sports, movies, documentary, news, entertainment. Ask the right questions and you can't go wrong.

I don't know anything concerning satellite dish and receiver that's why am here to seek for professional assistance.

I don't want to buy something that I'll end up regretting just like how i bought 4922a receiver without proper consultation.

Your 4922a is still good for FTA

Check the pix I posted. I'm in the South south so 1.8m cannot get Nilesat unless you're in Northern Nigeria. Nilesat is possible here with 3m upwards

I tried it, though it didn't boost signal it controlled generator noise that causes cracking.

That's a bit too harsh bro. I assume he is interested in viewing those mentioned channels as FTA. Suggestions should be given not sarcasm.

Bro, there are two ways to go from the way I see ur problem.
1. Either u keep paying subscribers fee to a Paytv company eg. Multichoice for ur desired channels, or
2. Depending on ur location, u go for a bigger sized motorized dish and enjoy FTA for as long as u want.

The choice is entirely urs.
Cheers.

Choose number 2, if not go for dstv that offers all the Supersports channels. Anything less than that is waste of money. That's a personal opinion though.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Malcomkelvin: 1:49pm On Jun 18, 2015
I heard that New channels are now on test transmission on Amos 5k angle 16/17 frequency 11056 H 09999 it a Ghanaian channel called (megs sports)

but Am not around to check...... anyone around with his/her decoder should manual scan it and Let us know how true It's.... it'll be really good to have sport fta on Amos.

Both options not really there for someone who just purchased 4950H.
I tell people don't buy strong, they won't hear.
If he goes with option 2, he will need another decoder to enjoy those channels on hotbird and enjoy the dish to the fullest.

What option he has is to either bite the bullet, go IPTV android like m8 or Gs6hd IPTV server to enjoy European server and champions TV on yamal or go for a 3m dish with gscam receiver like mini x4, tlink.

All these require cash.

The TP is perfectly working at the moment. 4 stations but 2 are currently open , one of them is a music channel. The other 2 are blank.

Bros! CNN?
When you have Aljazeera, BBC, France24, DW, VOA, and other news channels on that 16/17e.
Well if you must 'Oliver Twist', ITV & two of those Kenyan Channels use to join CNN late @ night and early in the morning. Enjoy.

It's online but you need to buy in large qty. The dealer I know in Aba says low demand is responsible for its scarcity.

It has two features
The dvb-s2 allows it to open all biss channels on yamal sat, irib and co. This one requires dish

The IPTV server requires no dish. Its very stable as it has option of European, American, Arabian IPTV servers. When purchasing in bulk from a dealer, the buyer can decide whether IPTV server to buy.
