Hmmm!,George D,what do u think?

@ Project

"off topic"

I am a little perplexed as to why you would want to start a venture you have little knowledge of. Why do you like Ghana so much? I did a bit of a check on some of your posts and I realized (I am Ghanaian) you really do think less of us. Who are you trying to out-wit this time? - not everybody in this world is a dumb-as* dude.

"back to topic"

First of all you don't need partners. Pay a consultant to to advice you - me thinks you don't even know the various broadcasting standards out there - you need to be clear on what exactly you are up to. What do you plan to set up - terrestrial station or a DTH platform? if its the former, then I know for a fact that no license will be issued since for now GH will be using only two existing TV providers - makes your work simpler since they host your content for you for a fee. if it is the latter, then i guess the issue of "moving to other places" (as in extending coverage) will be a nonstarter dude. You can lease a transponder on Astra 2b gives you a good coverage over West Africa.

Then again who are we kidding? if the National regulator refused you a license then on what grounds where you even able to bring in the equipment in the first place? highly irregular - one needs a license to even own such stuff. what kind of test did they ran? - earth to satellite uplink or transmitter power rating? You don't need us telling you what the specs should be Bro. Ask the one who rejected them  .

OOops!  I hope I didn't misfire! - did u say Channel (as in 1, singular - me scratching me head  ) what can you bring to the table in terms of variety? do you have any idea how much it costs to acquire content? (or lease a TP) bet you if it where that easy MultiTv would have a lot more variety than the repeat programmes we are stuck with. .

Anyways not to sound like discouraging you - but you gave me little to work with. More information is needed. Set up a dummy website and give out the necessary information so we can better advise you or better still drop all the low down here. While you are at it do a bit of research on defunct GBS, not too sure of DAARSAT and Free2view -  they where all hope smashers! - they had lots of channels or were planning to launch lots of channels! lol  - my guess is they forgot one critical thing - ie to keep costs from bungee jumping in their books  .

And for the banks who fail to conduct due diligence before doling out cash for all kinds of projects - my guess is we will forever have a United Africa financial crisis! lol!

My 1 cent - keep me posted and do hire professional people (if i know what you are up to maybe i can point you in the right direction on how to find them).

@ dvbguy
good good! good!! Write-up.

@Dvbguy,I never knew u see thru walls,thumbs up!.

With open arms, we are waiting to receive u and the service u are dreaming to offer.

Goodluck to you then. Its no pulldown syndrome, its genuinely puzzling to me for someone with such a massive project to not have the knowledge to even kick off. You talked about having a backing of your bank. I still wonder what Bank,(in these uncertain times) would give you the facilities for such without you proving to them beyond all doubts that you are capable of delivering what you propose.

Anyways, good luck.

It's the Cecelia Ibru style banks, you don't need to prove anything to get the loan.

@project,hw are we such that u guys are not fraudstars or 419.If u guys want to emback on such a big project u shd rather pay a consultant who wil guild u than sick our advice

@Project
I believe the best advice has been given by dvbguy and hope you take it in good faith. I believe also that you should get dvbguy's number so you can personally see him and discuss matters since you all live in Ghana, I guess Accra too.

However I would like you to be a bit patient when you are seeking for information. I personally did not like the way you said someone should SHUT UP if he had nothing to say. The information you need is a huge one and you cannot get it for free 'like that'. As you are being advised, get a consultant and pay him and I believe you will get what you wanted.

Good luck!

@ dvbguy,
thumbs up for you. I know i aint good writer, if i were to be the one. i would've summarised yur whole sentence in just a few word.

Dont mind those con peeps masquerading themselves as genuine business man. from the start of his writeup, i've known he's a dummie liar. Anyone that wants to fall for him, should contact him. Akuya!!!!!!!!!!!

@ dvd
u don hit d nail for head straight away. Kudos !

@ Project

You have shot yourself in the FOOT. The gurus in this house acquired their knowledge thro honesty and diligence. You want to make profits but not ready to come out clean. You are lucky that your kinsman, DVB, has assisted you despite your modus operandi.

@Enitan2002,
Dont be easy on this guy. Take him to the cleaners pls. Enitan, were you once a scammer too? I noticed that you read his act quicker!

hmm,

where is the dude?

Hi guys,
I am a satellite person but not necessarily an FTA techie,my own expertie is in satellite for internet.I just want to know how easy it is to get a TV station on the satellite without a very large budget.

I have this small proposal to write for a TV station that wants to run on FTA and its ready to spend a few cash for ground equipment and a space in satellite.

I am just asking a honest question and not recruiting as the headline says,and moreover the topic isnt mine so pls dont attack me oh.I will probably put the question on a new topic for others who aint in this discussion to help suggest.

Remember its an existing TV station that wants to go FTA and not profit driven.I was also wondering what it would take to integrate itself with DSTV.HITV etc.

If you need to help and you want to talk to me,just send me a text and i will call u back if i can at that particular moment or i will just send u a reply or any that i can.
My email addy is tunde300us@gmail.com and my phone is 08034025906.please dnt flash ppl (na BB nd im battery no dey last)

Thanks

I am completely agree and eager with this project. Currently I enjoyed at my home with my digital tv on pc, and I am thinking for new tech. now.

It would be a great experience.
