oga pito
please what can make my c band signal be jumping and switch off completly at nite though it will work well in the morning uptill say 4 pm before cracking and finally switch of by nite

check d lnb setting and make sure set it to 2 O clock,also try to just it vntil u ve d highest percentage

@ osef if u re using supermax c band lnbf please change to strong lnbf.
@ sayedan dont worry i ll do dat as soon as possible.

@Pitodenz and All

What could be wrong?

When I am watching channels with my 4653x the signal goes off and the word "Lnbf" comes on the receiver. I thought the lnb was damaged but problem persisted even when I changed the lnb.But when I change the receiver to 69x everything works fine. Thanks

captainus,
your reciever f-connector could be bridging its contacts or worst still it could be that the reciever is showing early signs of signal problem. before my own 53x finally packed up, it did show some signs though not exactly like what you described.

@George_D

Thanks for the reply.I will recheck the f-connector.hopefully the receiver is not approaching its final days. I've had it for over two yrs now.

@ al, i use 2 decoders 4 nilesat.i looped out signal 4rm 1 to d oda.weneva i change d station on decoder to BBCW wc has H polarity,al d stations on V polarity in decoder B goes off.is it bcus am nt using a twin lnb or wat cud b d prob?

@olatufu
i had similar probs on my old mans set up a long time ago.to me the circutry of the Rxs are still buggy.try using similar Rx.i stand 2 corrected.

@ freshp, wat is Rxs? Pls xplain.

If decoder A is connected to the satellite and decoder B connects with the loop out. decoder A controls the LNB. solution use use dual LNB with two ports.

olatufu,
microgiant is right. what your experiencing with both your nilesat decoders is what we call polarity conflict and has been dealt with on the official fta thread in season 3.

the first decoder that you connect the lnb to from the dish is called the master while the one you loop out to is the slave. as the name implies, the master controlls the slave hence you can only watch stations of similar polarity (v or h) which the master decoder is tuned to at any point in time.

solutions abound to these problem but since your only using two decoders, you may consider replacing your single lnb with a twin or quad lnb (for future expansion).

@ Olatufu,
Rx stands for receiver, the 's' is just for plural.
BTW George & microgiant  have just given you the answer succinctly.
Good luck.

Tnx 4 d answers my ogas. 1 luv

@ twinskenny,

Ibafo and berger are my area, lets hook up one of these day or even dis weekend to compliment each other, i need to see ur stuff 08038032393

I'm just thinking about an idea that came 2 my mind sometimes. I want us all to think out, before I practicalise it. What if i construct an arc as lnb holder on a 1.8 metre dish, the center of the arc will be the focal point of the dish. Then the other parts will be offset focal point. The dish faces sirius 4 example, the lnb at the centre receives signal from sirius. Another lnb on the western side of d arc receiving signal from a satellite from the East at an offset angle and so on. The arc may not be a perfect one 4 all its parts to be on the focal points at different offset angles. If my theory works, then a single dish can be used to receive different sats with many lnbs. It is just a theory though, I've not tried it yet.

Multi LNB setups are very common in the middle east. Just google Multi Lnb with pictures

amebo,
one dish multiple lnb theory is one that has been tranformed into reality in many parts of the world.

just do it!

I saw it already installed, somewhere will get pictures next time I go dre, go ahead bro

enigma,
that was a nice one. cheers!

Pleasure, George.

@Pito u've got mail. pls its urgent!

Pls any instaler should call me on.08056683575.08094113743 or mail me at.sensicut07@gmail.com.living in lagos surulere.thanks u all

Mr Geo,plz where can i get dis multi Lmb holder,i stay @ ebute-metta lagos mainland. And plz i need mirco box too.

I try nailing the channel of winners chapel with 1.8meter c-band, but it didn't come up, if you have being use to tracking it, pls kindly give your advice. Thanks in anticipation.

Ultralsat,
Where is yr location 2.4 m works in the North

pls can somebody help me out with the meters corresponding to these dishes:4ft, 6ft,7.5(ft, 10ft, 12ft, N.B ft=feet dishes. thanks

4ft in metres is 1.2192 so i guess dats 120cm dish
6ft is 1.83 m(180cm dish)
7.5 is 2.3 m( Probably 2.4m dish)

@ George D, I can see you are based in Warri. I am based in warri too. I am a novice in satellite installation. I want to learn. I don't know if you can be of help. My email is tosagay2003@yahoo.com

Please, how can I track etv capetown

hello guys, pls i need an installer in garki to help me install a motorised positioner for my 1.8 meter dish, all d guys iav seen cant install it so presently i hav a stationary sat on nile beam

the ideal dish to point to this bird is 2.4m so don't try any other dish with it.
