Obnelly thanks very much, can you please give me your phone number so that I will call you.

good

I finally received A.bird 7 in lagos sw nigeria with 3m fibre dish. I got about 150 channels. The signal is more in the evening than morning. This tp `11296 is the highest 60% around 8pm. Initially That was a week ago I got only 1 tp but as time pass on I keep getting additional tps with improve signal.

well done brother

talenty,
congrats on your nilesat success. welcome to the family.

as for the subscription i think obnelly has answered that.

personally though i don't subscribe because i feel there are enough
free channels to keep me and my people busy.

looks like ab7 signals are finally behaving like the recent 201. i will give it a shot too

and see what happens.

congrats!

p.s: did you need to move your dish slighty before tracking or you left it in same position
with 201 and 102?

You need to move your dish down a little west.

ok badaru. i will do just that.

thanks!

@ George_D
The new 3.0m pan dish for my nile have arrived as promised. Please I need your advise on the best LNB obtainable in Nigeria for maximum performance.

auchs,
since yours is a pan dish, use either digisat 0.2db lnb or echosat 0.1db and you'll be fine.
congrats and happy tracking!

Auch pls is that dish ready made or locally fabricated?can you post the picture if its locally made?and moreso i will want you to post its signal performance.

pls my sat is not getting any signal in kaduna ,mytv nd strong

@ George_D
Thanks for the swift reply.
@ Obnelly
The audacious is a locally made. I will keep the house posted on the pics latter. Thanks

That is interesting.

Good day all. Joining your interesting forum from Dakar 5enegal. Please note that here with a 100cm dish we are currently able to get from 7W position more than 600 channels with great quality pictures. The arabic conversant people are the ones really enjoying this large array of FTA channels. But some movie and/or series entertainment channels such as FOX, FOX movies, MTV are also available. CNN, Bloomberg, Asia Business and a lot of sport channels are accessible as well. See attached pictures. Thanks

marc33,
welcome to the forum. those are great pictures you have there.

looks though like your 100cm dish is motorized?

The dish sure looks motorized. and the decoder nko? What's the type?

Thank you for the welcome.
Definitely yes the dish is motorized. The receiver is star track SRT 2015 HD.

@ Marc33

Great Work and welcome to the forum.

@ George and Lovala

It is the HH Motor for Ku Dishes normally less than 1.8m dishes

Remain Blessed

marc33,
i guess it is alright. many of our peeps here with 90cm will be interested in laying their hands on such a motor. besides, there was an issue on how to install it a couple of months back. not a few members reported difficulties in getting it to track properly.

@George
The diseqC 1.2 HH motor is not difficult to install when following properly all the steps and requirements. The main point is first to make sure to get an HH motor that can handle your location latitude. Most of the HH motors available in some places were not really designed for a good part of our region (specifically countries below 10° latitude N or S). Residing in Dakar (14° latitude) I luckily do not have that problem. As you know it, good pole (i.e exactly vertical) alignment is critical as well as precise elevation of the motor and declination angle as required by your location and usually indicated in the supplied installation manual. I got my motor from France through my brother installed there. I have noted that there is in this forum an interesting, documented (and promising) thread launched by microgiant on this motorization issue. Let us use it as much as possible to share our experiences, exchange tricks and tips. Cheers

To complete above information for all interested, I attach herewith pictures of the box of the diseqC motor I am using. The very same motor seems to be available under different brand names. Thanks

marc33,
you are very correct as regarding that microgiant thread. again, you are lucky with you location.

the latitude thing was the biggest obstacle to a successful installation here.

@ Marc33

Where is your location once again and how much is the HH Motor in USD

Remain Blessed.

@marc33, the star track 2015hd receiver, does it have blind scan function? Please reply. Thank you

@dodos
I bought the motor 47 euros 3 years ago.

@sammu
Yes the receiver has blind scan function.

Thanks

pls someone should reply, i have a 2.4m pan dish and i want to track jsc sport 1-10 which sat is more advisable nile sat or badr. i stay in lagos

Grafiki,go for hotbird,you cant get badr in lagos with 2.4m pictures will be freezing most time,nilesat is your best bet but you cant get all the channels owned by aljazeera sports.you can only get +1-4,on hotbird you get 1-10,(signal drop in the afternoon)if you are using it for viewing center go for 3m and above.just my little advice.

thanks so much bro

@george_D @Obnelly
I just finished a rough work on my locally 3m facing the heaven on nilesat. The MBCs (11938v) is @58%. The target jsc sports (+5-10 and jsc world cup) is @48% with no cracking. Only 84 channels have poped up. I am happy cos the locally made did the job. I will continue the work tomorrow with lnb tweaking cos I know that the dish will hit at least 74% on 11938 and rock better than my former strong 2.4m. Thanks.

MBC Action showing terminator salvation @ 8:00pm today.

Auch,welldone.that was a success but you can still work more on the signal because that is what am getting with my 2.4m you shld have better signal strength.you get jsc+5-10?are u on nilesat 201/atlantic7/badr 26.
