Tstv frequency 11054 with stations like MBC ...channels...Dubai one is not stable if u are using 90cm even 11088 sometimes misbehaves though rarely but currently stable...but etv south Africa temporarily FTA on same position with tstv is stable with a very good pic quality....access bet ....v sports preach TV...opm are all stable...I think tstv have to work on their signal...lest I forget there is MBC max (txcd)on 11088 stable

All my gurus,
I have 16e (primary) ,28e and 5e on 1 meter dish.
Can I get Tstv using this same setup as attachment?
Thanks
No you can't . Or just make 28 as primary. Attach 16 below it and 42 with 55 above it. Nothing so special at 5e

House, please what can be done to get audio on channels tv on 10e, other stations have voice but channels have clear pictures but no audio

4W on that same dish?

Nope

Here is the pic primary 26/28e attached 42e

Thanks abohwun,
If I saw correctly, the 42°e is by the left of primary when facing the dish and pls by how many centimetres?
Secondly,I heard I can combine ABS 3 west with my setup which has16e (primary) with 5e and 28e on 1mtr dish,is it so? And if yes,please explain the steps

use NTA TP or AFN TP to track sport 24hd, the TP of sport 24hd is 04.132 V 30.000, make sure you put your dioelectic plate very well inside the LNBF throat, if you are using Powersat lnbf let the dioelectic plate be on a vertical in line with the lnbf port.
Ppl pls give me d NTA and AFN frquency number

House, I need a good installer in satellite town, Lagos that can host multiple lnbf on a dish.
Reply this comment with your details, I will call you.
Furthermore, kindly be informed that I shall appreciate if the job is done over this long weekend.
Thanks

I have not try combining 16e with 3e but there is a picture for that above.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by 4llerbuntu(m): 11:42am On Dec 02, 2017
3W is almost 180degrees opposite the position where 28°E, 36°E is .

I know because I had to move my dish to track it.

So i have my doubt about this talk of combining 3w with other SATs facing E.

Dish size is everything.

Dish size is everything. LNBs only have a very very very very .... small effect as does receiver
sensitivity. Dish size is everything! Going from a 0.9dB to a 0.1dB does not have the effect of
5mm of dish diameter! and then the lower noise LNB will only help in good weather, virtually no
effect in bad weather.

Bigger dishes provide more signal in all weathers. BUT .. if the dish size cannot be increased for any reason, the lower noise LNB can help a small amount and it MIGHT be just enough to pull in a difficult to receive channel that was just coming in but maybe pixilation or
freezing (a common fault caused usually by lack of signal) was a problem and may be stopped.
0.1dB LNBs!

To achieve 0.1dBs over a significant frequency range, manufacturers would need super
cooling to slow the electrons down! Simply not possible at normal temperatures in the UK. It may
well be the case that the new 0.1dB LNBs have the lowest noise figures. They are very good LNBs.
Possibly even be the best, but they really can't be as low as 0.1dB or 0.2dB over any kind of
useful frequency range if at all.

Some of us are getting old! I can still remember - when I was a
kid - back in the late 1950s early 1960s - not sure when - being told you could get a great picture
on the TV with an aerial shaped like a PLANT POT that could be stood on top of the TV.
(even with a plastic plant inside it!) We all now know that what was really needed was a decent
sized aerial on the roof (and preferably not in the loft - which can produce reflections!


Many people would like technology without wires in sealed boxes (like my wife, she will insist
on having the stuff in cabinets with doors on. This is better known as an cooking the technology
in an oven as it stops ventilation and creates a fire risks).


Many also want the smallest possible dish so the question is - "find an alternative solution to
getting more signal" BUT ... no matter how much people might want to .....
YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE LAWS OF PHYSICS! "Dish size is everything." It is a question that we hear
every day and sometimes customer think that if they ask the question in 4 or 5 different ways, they
will eventually hear a different answer.


To repeat - Dish size is everything! Dish size is everything!

It is impossible on a dish of 1m and less. Smaller dishes can have multiple LNbs to receive satellite on same hemisphere. Eg on the east, multiple Lnbs, but same dish can't receive satellites on the west at the same time

Hello house, I got this today

I'm very new, I have a simple question to ask,

How does this device detects signal when tracking a dish?

Does it beep based on the satellite transponder inputs in the decoder or it beeps for random signals?

Cos I understand, there are several satellites as close as 1 degrees from each,

Example if I want to track 42° E will it beep when I position the dish to 55° E?
How does it work, I mean do you need to put on d tv to use this or it works without electricity?

Hello All,
After going through the thread, I feel like a creche where all y'all PhD.

oya, you people should advise me.

I just bought an LG in-built satellite TV.

Do I need to buy a dish?
I saw options of tuning the satellite setting and I saw some satellite stuffs like Austra 2b and the rest.

So now, please guide me on what to do like am your kindergarten student grin grin grin. Thanks

the above setup is mine . And 9e is the primary not 16e. And not all the tp that is green on abs 3w. Tstv tp is red while other tp on abs3 work very well. Though I use qsat. I still want to check it on my strong decoder but am not around for now. And here is replica of the setup
It contains 3w, 5e, 9e(primary) 16e and 28e

EHHHHH!!!!!!!
My 4930L decided to pack-off.
I took it to a dealer who told me I can't wake it up again, that the board don peme.
I decided to call Strong Tech Abuja and I was told no spare part for the series again.
Please help.I need a rugged receiver that will last and satisfy my FTA desires.
I am missing those birds now o.

Anytime u want to state u will set d meter to 5, den start adjusting d dish wen u get signal d finder sound will increase and d meters will from 5 upward.
That means someone could possibly hit any satellite around that direction you r tracking without immediately knowing if its the exact one u r tracking?

You are welcome on board. At this stage it will be difficult for you to do the work yourself, so I advice you to buy one 90cm dish and one 60cm dish and contact a professional installer to do the installation for you. Ask the installer to use the 90cm for Eutelsat 7A @ 7°W (MBC) then the 60cm dish Eutelsat 16A @16°E (TVC) and Astra 2f @28.2 °E (Joy TV). Ask him for other items that is needed for the installation.
