How will I know if its the actual satellite I'm searching for that bleeps. Do I need to input the tp on the decoder b4 tracking and go inside to check when it bleeps?



no need of putting tp and frequency

when d sat finds the frequency it beeps on itself.

d only disadvantage is that u must know d exact direction of sat u are finding

I already ordered for it since almost two weeks plus on jumia at a cost of 3k5 that's why I'm asking many questions. How much is this your own and where can I get it to buy?

True. Point the dish where there is no sat then set the meter pointer to 5 as your no sat point. Then start sat hunting. When a sat is found the meter will move towards 10.

so swapped the lnb, and immediately the cracking video stopped. even though signal strength was 58% and 9%!.
so i still went ahead to optimize it...and was able to adjust it to signal strength 59%, signal quality 98%!, so everything super now

so where can i buy a replacement lnb?. how much is it, and is there a preffered make?
Congratulation bro, am happy to hear your testimony. You can use any offset Ku lnbf since the satellite it is being use for doesn't require any special lnbf or you can buy strong short neck lnbf. The price goes for 1k from my end but I don't know how much it is being sold at your end.

Alright, I once asked the same question.. and got different answers...
It's good for satellites with good signal strength and quality... Dst*, and so on.. but you have to glue your eyes only to the receiver I had to take my TV outside to track grin

I got mine about 38$ on Aliexpress... And the analogue type 8$

I will gladly sell off the analogue finder for 2k...
Pictures below is for sale.. kiss

Change the LNB freq.from 5150/5750 to 5150 and do rescan it or better still blind scan it.

Follow dis process and give back report:
1. Switch d decoder off
2. Remove d F-connector from the LNP port of ur decoder
3. Switch it back on
4. If it doesn't work normally, report back for next stage bt if it does. Check ur LNB cable ensure it is properly connected to d F-connector at d decoder and at d dish point cos d coxial cable mit be touching each oda

I have been in the sun ☀ for over 45 minutes trying TSTV. I couldn't even get 7w with my 1.2m dish. Tweaking from 3 O'clock, 4 O'clock and 9 O'clock while standing in front of the dish.

Please, what else can I do.

For those planning to track Badr at 26° with big dishes, just forget about it and seek other satellite. Apart from the MBC package on it and France 24, other channels do not worth the stress. Dubai sports 1-4, Kuwait sport etc are useless

I'm in UAE now and where I'm staying the satellite is Badr at 26° with over 400 channels courtesy 90cm dish.

Luckily before I left Lagos yesterday, I took along my Android IPTV. With the free WiFi here, I'm streaming all the EPL matches. Saw Spurs game and waiting for the other matches just to keep boredom away.

You really tried. It could be problematic once in a while. If you persist, you may get it provided there are no obstacles to signal like mast and power lines. But if all efforts prove abortive, get assistance of another installer. Probably, he may be of help. At times, what others can get without any stress in one location can be difficult in another location. For tstv, let your lnb be at 4 o clock. Then attach 7w if you're able to get it. If you are in Lagos and you need my assistance, call 09094626655 or Whatsapp via 08060150782
