Ameboperoo:

@all. I intend buying this cable for s/w transfer but I discovered it has 9 pins but the socket on my PC has 15 pins. Is there any special hardware I have to connect to my PC?

Ameboperoo:

Pls how does it looks like? The one I know has 9pins at both ends

George_D:

@all,
Goodnews for all those in the nilesat family! 201 has finally landed the south-south.
11747h now active with about 65% signal quality on 3m.

Aljazeera children, Eritrea TV, and a lot of test channels.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE?

I installed a two-dish setup for a friend and it suddenly lost signal.
I am currently out of town and have discussed the problem with them, doing the normal checking but the thing is that they cant figure where it went wrong.
All the physical installation are in place and it could just be that they are selecting the wrong Diseq Switch( 1,2,3 or 4 Diseq/Splitter)

Can anyone in the house recommend an "installer for me" or can anyone who has know-how and wants to assist me to resolve the issue please leave a message for me here so l can link them to the address, PLEASE?
The location is in Lagos, Mainland area of Yaba.
You know how it is when women cant watch their GTV or Kids can watch their Kiddy stuff, l am in trouble!
The Decoder in use is a STRONG 4669x tuned to MyTV and JoyTV.

I am sure its not "equipment failure" since it just says "No Signal" but its shows all the Satellite feeds that is in the Decoder (which says that my LNB, Dish and Decoder are picking signals and its likely a "settings problem".
I've asked them to do a blind scan and it still does not pick the channels but due to my not being physically present at the place, l cant remember exactly, the Diseq (1,2,3 or 4) that the two dishes are tied to (maybe they have selected a wrong one).

I just feel l need someone who is knowledgeable about it, to be physically there to correct things for me.

Anyone would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Thanks very much Twinskenny.
This "bailout" is much appreciated.
They will call you Tomorrow (Friday) but being a working day, my cousin may not be around during

working hours but l will tell them to get home very quick.
On the other hand, (as it suits you), l will appreciate if you can make local arrangement with

them during the holiday period/weekend.

I know l could be asking too much
They would mention my "handle" when they call you.
Thanks a million!

Twinskenny,
We all have gained a lot from people like Twinstaiye, George-D, jujuchemist, badaru1, Toxnaija,

Enitan2002, Olofofo, Ameboperoo, FreshP, Enigma, Love4Sat and many others, at NO COST in promoting FTA.
Even where there was cost, it is "minimal" to cover transport!
Looking thru the forum, l can see that yourself was also a beneficiary of their kindness, and not too long ago!

I was happy when you offered TO "HELP", when l made my plight public on the forum.

I know a "complete reset" of the 4669x will resolve the problem since all the wiring, dish-setup & alignment remain untouched but like l said, l am currently out of town and my cousins cant handle it over the phone.

I am disappointed when you made contact with his wife on phone and YOU ASKED FOR #5,000 (Five grand!) to

reset the Box? They tried to even negotiate with you but you insist on #5,000!

As you know, installers who do this for a living will do a FRESH INSTALL, including Dish installation and

cabling for between #2,500 and #3,000, so how come you want to collect #5,000, even when you gave the impression that you're just helping a

fellow Nairalander, to reset a 4669xBox?

Imagine if the Gurus like Georg-D, Ameboperoo, TwinsTaiye, e.t.c were charging us an "arm and leg"

(or charged you #5,000 for every help or question you asked?) each time you need help?

This is against the spirit of FTA.
Money will finish but a good name goes on forever.

This is very unfair. It reminds me of the story of the debtor in the Bible who was forgiven his

VERY HUGE DEBT but on meeting someone who owed him just a fraction on the way back, he wanted to

strangle that one!

Anyway, l am throwing my request open again to anyone else WHO WANTS TO HELP AND IS NOT AFTER

MONEY!
(A little defray of transportation expenses to/from Yaba will be in order, if requested).

Thank you once again, TWINSKENNY, your "#5,000 rcharge for "a help" is generous and will be fondly

be remembered

Can anyone sill recommend someone for me, who will be more considerate, please?

borderline:

@excuseme
i don't think you are going about this issue the right way.if a forum member is asking for a particular fee before coming over,i don't think it is fair for you to begin to cast aspersion on his credibility as a result of that. just because we are forum members doesn't mean we share the same view of life. a lot of factors could have been behind his action. more importantly,you could have resolved this issue off air instead of a public show off like this. i do not know kenny personally but i don't think his motives were selfish. please let us all continue to show ourselves love and respect wherever we are.this world is such a small place. one love

obnelly:

always check the number of post by users before offering help.some come into this thread when they need help and go when they get what dey really want from active member.No free lunch, remember also that no pain no gain.Enough is enough .

gadotor:

Tell them to call me on this number, l may be of help, l will be AROUND that area today and tomorrow
