Csat 8 Pro+ has watering features but too fragile.

I would advice anyone here to buy a durable decoder even if it is Tiger or GT media that would cost you up to 28K or more. Please gather your money and buy it. GT media and Tiger Autoroll Biss Keys and Powervu, have inbuilt WIFI, Multi stream with durable components or any Strong Decoders with HEVC, DVB2 H.265.

Csat 8 Pro+ Multistream, Autoroll only Powervu and not Biss. The difference is like buying a Samsung Original Phone and Buying a Chinko phone that claims to have what the Samsung phone has and does.


I had advice here that people with low budget should go for Csat 8 Pro +, but due to high rate of complaints from those who have used it first hand including me; I hereby revert my previous advice.

Thank you.
Bro E be say you be Samsung fan like me, haha.. Anyway you said it all, better soup na money kill am and the taste of pudding is in the eating.

please can you explain how to position my phone as in relating to using this app

As you already know, it's like using a compass. Just calibrate by moving your phone in an 8 motion. After that your keep the phone flat in your palm move to any direction the arrow is pointing in the app screen.

When you said you got Tstv channels... The question that comes to mind is, which of the channels are you referring to? Just listing a few will probably give us a clear picture to speak on the matter

I can't tell you yes or no. Because I have never bothered to try it on such dish size. However, I still think there is a possibility but the downside might be a low signal output. When compared to 90cm dish. But don't take my word for it, rather give it a try and update the house. After all, if many of us never used lemon to make lemonade, there would not have been a story to tell from our own perspective and experience
okk thanks.

Examples are strong 497s, Csat pro, ourTV decoder, Tstv decoder. Just for a limited search. But the list goes on and on and on.

So another way but not limited, to know what is looks like is to check what is labeled on the front of the decoder you see in a satellite shop.

Below are some images on what such a label looks like on a decoder. You will either see for example H.265/ HEVC

I am not a marketer so don't take my word for it on prices ranging from 8k to 100k depending on which product you are buying
Thanks sir, God bless.

Open the decoder and see the board. You would see the inferiority of the components first hand..

The same switch I have been plugging my Strong Decoder for years and other devices without issues was the same switch that I plugged the csat and I heard a loud explosion like a bomb from the decoder. That Decoder and lightning ⚡ are two enemies.

You there not upgrade it and try to downgrade it. It would never downgrade. It will take an expert to help you to restore it back.

Never try to charge your phone on it if you do constantly the decoder would not last long. Let me stop here.

True talk bro. I boubought Csat A55 during lock down. Was watching TVC news and there was signal fluctuation. I heard some cracking sounds, and b4 I knew it, the decoder went dead. I took it for repairs and I was told the board is bad. See the emptiness inside the decoder. That csat specie seem to be a joke of a decoder

Just like I suspected... The above frequency you mentioned is not for Tstv. The stations there were formally on 3degree west. They just migrated to 51.5 degree of late. So don't get it twisted for Tstv because they are transmitting on the same satellite position. One love.

They are several ways to deal with that situation, but let's apply the methods one by one and see which works for you.

First method.. Delete the satellite name you created, under satellite list. Then recreate it and scan.

Second method is to do a factory reset but instead of scanning ourTV as your fist satellite. You skip it and create a new satellite, then scan. Go back and make sure the channels are there before scanning the ourTV satellite.

Third is to check very well on your channel list, it should be there, what usually miss is movie Africana and not all the channels you listed. Let me stop there for now

If I get this question correctly.. You mean turning the dish facing 3w to 51.5e? If yes, then turn your dish to the east, opposite direction and slide it down using the frequency. It will pop up.

May I add that you should be sure that your dish have the needed space to slide down when turn to the east, or else you have to remount your dish hanger.

But you can correct me if the above explanation does not apply to what you intend to archive. So I can correct what needs to be done.

Bro for now, 497s happens to fit that description.

But I just hate looking at it when I compare it to 4954. In terms of looks and solidity. The person that designed that 4954 must have a beautiful mind. The decoder too sexy. Sadly it not H.265 enabled. E still dey pain me go reach tomorrow because of that factor . Lol

Thanks for the response. I am already on 51.5e. I just want to be able to get tstv signals too. I only used the channels that were formerly on 3w but now on 51.5e as reference.
