sammu: @p2boy2buzy. Is your dish motorised? If yes, your lnb skew should be at 3'0 clock. Then your declination angle must be well adjusted for yur dish to see all available sats. Cheers

boss,my dish is motorised 2.4m mesh...my lnb is currently at 12'o bcuz of w3c i only take it to 9'o 4 d rest chann2 pop...how do i adjst d declination angle.2.can i get bard4 wit it in benin city.big tanx n anticipation.

try but i think 3m
depending on your quality of dish
declination normly few degrees must have brackets somehwere lookk for inclonometer or make one.
can u email me pic want to motorise 3.8m pan and 2.3 meter dish.

with respect to recent developments in sat world. It is time we start motorising our dishes from 1m
@ kinmen, pls and pls help us in this regard. I know u are a guru in modified 'motorising neck' for small dishes.
Help with pics and tutorials. Thanks

.

Read from page one of this thread. The know-how is well explained.
Cheers

I motorised 1.8m dish 7¤E, nilesat, 68.5¤E and nss7 but i don't know how to use the positioner remote to set the jack for each satellite i.e if i want to move to another satellite entirely.

once you move your jack to any satellite e.g Nss7 press 1 you will see p-1 on your positioner.then you press store.for nilesat press 2 and you will also see p-2 on your positioner next press 2 and then store .Do that to all the satellites .you can programme satellite from 1-99 .Goodluck

For most positioners in the market here in Nigeria, u press and hold the ''store'' button untill the number display starts blinking. Then u press the number u want to store that position in, like 1 or 2.

And also most positioners only have 32 memory spaces and not upto 99.

Regards.

@jacob, hotbird is located at 13e try it . 1.8m dish should pick some tps in sokoto

[quote author=sammu]@ojayunited, pls read the page 1 of this thread, ur question has bn answered.

@ Sammu, am very grateful.
Tanx & God bless

l am new to Fta and I am planning on installing. a motorized 2.4 m solid dish in my home town in Edo state. Going through this thread I find that pboy2buzy lives in Benin City and has a motorized big dish.
I will be very grateful. if he will allow me. to learn from his experience before going to buy my system materials. I live in Benin City and Phone number is 08035109283 (Text messages only due to hearing problem ) Will be grateful if invited to view the setup. Sam.Sikpojie@Gmail.com

@odilibe i Have a question for you?

(1) you always copy and past here ,I have never seen you post any picture here from your own work

always you copy from a website and past to nairaland why?

we all know how to google so if you dont have anything of your own don't wast our time here

you are not a satellite guru but copy and past .i dont think you even know how to install dish like others

for example let as all look at I hacked post all picture are 100% from Africa and home made .which tell as that he is really satellite guy and all he talk is what he have prates he always post what he know even receiver he post what he have in hand.
but odilibe will copy from advertize website and post here guys be careful from odilibe he don't know anything at all
look at George D full of home pictures 100% love him,swordswifter 100% great
i have been watching him for a long time now

when i hacked first post a bought cband on 90cm and good cband LNB for that .he jump in and copy pictures from WS international website and post here telling it is not news. but i hacked have the thing in hand with home picture to proof .
when we talk a bought sat finders the man have in hand and telling as why we need it,he just jump in with picture from website
when it is receivers he can copy from any site and past here ,wile he dont even know were it comes and how it is.swordswifter just post his work now he jump in with noting to tell.
everything he know but am telling the truth he know noting but internet copy and past

@Odilibe tell me why you always copy and past if you have it or have use it before?

please sir,

Method One
1. drive ur jack to zero point, that is the 'moving arm' should go inside .
2. Remove the screw attaching the jack to the dish.
3. Now turn the 'moving arm' anticlockwise and it will increase in lenght. PLS NOTE: DO NOT TURN IT TOO MUCH. 1-2 INCHES INCREASE IS OK.
4. Attach jack to dish and drive to west.it should go beyond 18w

Method Two
This is more technical
Remove cover of jack
U will see upper and lower limit switch
Adjust it carefully with screw driver
Good Luck

@jacob2012,
Check the wires again with the help of a meter. Again check that remote control is ok. If above is not the problem then try this:
1. have someone inside the house to press the remote control while u check the jack. If the jack cranks and it is not moving that means the moving arm has jammed inside.
2. SO. Remove the jack box (that is lower part of jack that carry the motor, it is attached to pipe by 14'' nut screw)u will see moving stud, use plier to turn it until dish start to move. Now carefully replace the motor box.

i think you need to start learning with smaller dish.... most of those sat u mentioned is not receivable in that part of the country... good luck

To track all the satellites you mentioned shouldnt be a big deal if you are in the coverage area .Nevertheless you may start by first tracking dstv at 36e once you have the signal pop up ,you need to move your dish to 62 and 64 respectively but i think c band will be your best bet to do that .I recommend at least 1.8m dish for you in other to be able to track all the satellites listed for both c and ku band.Goodluck.You can have 64,62, 57, 5,(4.8e) and 2.8e

have tried all my effort. Yet unable to get 64e,62e & 57e. Despite the fact dat am using 1.8m wth motorised
Hola tv, also refuse to popup frm 68.5e
please help
