@Enigma, Pls i'm a newbie in this stuff. Kindly what are feeds, how can one use/utilise them with his decoder if possible. Thanx a lot. You guys are doing great job. Keep it up.

Don't worry, friend, we were all newbies at one point.  smiley

A "feed" in our context is a satellite television signal used by an operator to supply pictures/sound to stations that are far away. Let us say you are in Abuja watching NTA Abuja but NTA Abuja wants to receive a transmission from NTA Enugu; one of the ways by which NTA Enugu can send the transmission to Abuja is by a satellite feed which NTA Abuja will receive ("download"wink and transmit to their viewers.

If you want to enjoy NTA feeds and e.g. watch the newscasters while they are preparing to read the news try 27.5w on C Band; when I had it I used to be able to see the newscasters joking around or adjusting their make-up etc before reading the news.  grin

EDIT To see various feeds that people have found (most are in Europe though) try http://www.satelliweb.com/index.php?section=livef

There is this issue of multi LNB  going on in FTA thread. A 3 multi LNB on nilesat that can enable you get Astra 2b i.e multi TV by extending another lnb  from W3A. A picture below was further analysed to buttress the point.

Re: All About Multi Tv Free To Air On Astra 2b by pofolo(m): 6:49pm On Jul 23, 2010
@ twinskenny,
that is part of wat i dont know.
The advert says, for boxes(decoder),
10channels for 100GHc,
20channels for 200GHc, & 250GHc for over 50channels. Does
Their box get all these channels, or is it smartcard n subscription ?.

@CRTV

With the issue of CRTV, I don't think they are that serious. They've been making the same advert more than a year ago. And apart from the CRTV they don't show any other channel.

But I will still make enquiries and find out what else do they say they can offer. EPL as you know has been the rights of DSTv only since Gateway was liquidated.

I called the costumer service of infinity tv today to make enquiry about their services. The lady who answered said their decoder is HD. I further asked if she knows I'm not asking if it is mpeg4. She said she knew and that it is mpeg4 and it is HD. I tried to beleive her. But do you know what later surprised me? She said they would show EPL & ECL. She said the decoder is already in market. She even gave me phone numbers of 2 dealers in Kwara State. Can someone confirm and feed us back?

A transponder being active does not mean there are live channels on it. It simply means that the transponder turns green or whichever colour is displayed by the receiver when you hit a receivable bird.

Active transponders on Astra 2B (No Channels)

12597 H 12.999
12615 H 9.999
12515 V 9.999

Who can compare infinity African movie channel with Cine Afik of Multi TV?

Them, cos infinity are still
Test running. Meanwhile cineafric is full of repetition,
Re: All About Multi Tv Free To Air On Astra 2b by Ameboperoo(m): 9:47am On Jul 28, 2010
Cineafric is free to air but Africa Movie Channel is going 2 be subscription. If u say the former is full of repetition, then the later is 2 movies since they started transmission. Can u compare?
Re: All About Multi Tv Free To Air On Astra 2b by zenus(m): 10:22am On Jul 28, 2010

CRTV has other channels they air, but its only limited to those that have their decoders, as to whether their decoder is mpeg 4 or not, i\m not sure about that, but since their only fta channels we are able to receive is on mpeg 2 I guess their decoder might probably be an mpeg 2 *i stand for a correction*, And one thing to note also, when you buy their decoder, you will have to pay a monthly subscription I supposed,

@Ejike. The last 2 are Infinity Channels. The are experimenting with encryption. On those other tps, its like Canal horizon - that french DSTV rival coming to that bird. Just guessing.
BTW, what dish size did u use?
Re: All About Multi Tv Free To Air On Astra 2b by Ejike3: 6:37am On Jul 31, 2010
My dish is 1m i.e Daarsat dish with Strong 4669x. Location is Abuja.
Re: All About Multi Tv Free To Air On Astra 2b by twinskenny(m): 8:10am On Jul 31, 2010
Let me see if I can nail that on my 80cm
Re: All About Multi Tv Free To Air On Astra 2b by twinskenny(m): 8:18am On Jul 31, 2010
I can't receive those channel on my 80cm,
Re: All About Multi Tv Free To Air On Astra 2b by Ejike3: 10:07am On Jul 31, 2010
My CRTV 70%
MultiTV 76%
The new TP is 59%
infinity is 52%

As you can see, the strength is higher than infinity. If you can get infinity, there is hope you can pick it. I used Blind scan.
