You should get an MPEG4 decoder possibly and HD decoder. Everybody is switching over to DVB-S2, MPEG4 format. I will advise anybody investing in Satellite decoder to forget about DVB-S MPEG2

@Gadotor,
I thought you have changed.Isn't it enough that the person asking for the channel list is told of the frequency and that he can receive it wherever he/she is and that the channels are good?Do you have to list them before you know you have helped a fellow satmate?Why do you always have to act in a deviant way sometimes?If you are very young in the satellite world and don't know a lot of history,let me enlighten you.
I'll go back about 6 or 7 years ago.We had etv,sabc1,sabc2 and sabc3 on pas 10k which is now intelsat10k.Because nagra1 was hacked,people bought stbs just for these 4 channels.Dstv saw they were loosing potential clients so informed sentech who too all the sabc channels off that bird to 902c.Still stbs were being bought(which weren't for dstv) and people didn't care because etv showed alot of football games.Then sentech decided to change the encryption to nagra3 which has until now been the end of fta on intelsat 10.Then we had Daarsat on intelsat 907k.Over 47 channels of a mix of nigerian and foreign contents where all for free.That was only on condition that people by daarsat decoders.This never happened.People bought their own mpeg 4 decoders to the detriment of the operators of daarsat which led to their collapse.Infact,there was practically a shortage of 90cm dishes and mpeg4 decoders because people couldn't keep their mouths a bit shut.After this,those who had extra dishes had to tune them to w3a just because they will have a weekly dose of premiership matches to watch on the weekends.Those who had large dishes were still enjoying their sabc channels on intelsat 902c.Then astra 2b came*As for we all know it has come for all fta lovers*.Then we had w2a c with over 50 channels from startimes.This one too because of too much talking,they all went scrambled.Then the worldcup began and intelsat 902 went dead.We thought that was the end till the kenyan mux appeared on w4/w7.As for them,we thought they have come to stay till our dear dstv people decided they were causing them to loose money*All because people couldn't stop making noise about them*.So what do they do,they buy them all off to a satellite where they know majority will not be able to access.Then everything went stale again.Out of the blue,they decide to give as some of their own channels for a whole 3 months*Just to get people hooked to their service so that when they take them off,you'll be urged to subscribe*.Just some few days ago,some channels appeared on the same w4/w7.Now they are no more.So if by some astronomical chance some thing such as this has arrived,don't you want to protect it?Do you think they will sit around for something others are paying for to be received free of charge by everyone?If you want to help people,no one is saying you shouldn't but you have to consider the times that we are in and act accordingly.What we are receiving now is very likely from sentech.The beam is strong in SA and that's their main focus.We are just feeling a little bit of the cool winds blowing from their region.If this information and any others as such are not well handled.We are going to loose such great things like this as fast as they came.I hope you bear with me and exercise restraint on matters such as these.Thanks
This story is needless and makes little sense. Satellite owners are nt fools. W2a was on test thats why it was left FTA for a while. Same with the intel 17 channels. Later they might take it. Only deluded folks can allege that if u talked it would be scrambled. Talk or no talk they will scramble their thing. Its only those with BISS that pople may be told to keep quite and not on channels that are listed frree on Lyngsat.

To all that may disagree with my point of view and may be planning on re-posting and posting any "personal" towards my post should forget it.It's not worth it.I resigned myself 1am this morning,Nigerian time whiles doing my research with most satmates fast asleep,that i wouldn't bother myself trying to sensitize my fellow mates on this particular forum(beginning to understand the mentality).Besides,that's the job of it's administrators.I'm on to bigger and better things and as always,i will help anyone and everyone(even those i don't agree with) as and when the need arises.*No love lost,no love found*.Peace.

@swordswifter

do no t take a stance like that just because people have a contrary opinion. keep doing what your heart tells you and leave the rest to God. we are all here to share and learn something.

on the issues of the old 17 on w7 and new 17 on the new satellite, i believe they are meant as platform for terrestrial broadcast in some southern African nation. let's not rejoice too much on the matter as what is here today will be gone tomorrow.

if really this our Thread is about FTA then we should not always jubilate anytime encrypted channels become available temporarily. if you want to enjoy dstv the basic subscription is about 2500 which is equivalent to $16 monthly, or try and find out what is happening on the "dark side of FTA" else let concentrate on real free to Air, which unfortunataly you can not really enjoy without a motorized BUD"

viva FTA.

Swordswifter, acording to section 3 paragraph 2 of the law of fta of the fed. Republic of Nigeria, I have considered your case and I have found you not guity as charged. You are hereby discharged.

Welldone Guys,
The rules re very simple,no discussion of our paytv hack,keys or decryption in the forum.But not when we get free tp or channels from them.Please someone should list out all the tps if they re more than one.Anytime we ve this kind of info,if u like text it to every gsm no in the country,or keep it to urself,they ll take it when they re done with their testing.My joy is only when many pple get access to it b4 it went off.And sorry for those lazy nigerians who found it hard to research or dont know how to input freq and channel update cos any service lendered must be paid for.(not pple from forum oh)

your matter na different ball game altogether.
Re: Official Thread Of Free To Air Satellite Tv (part 5 - The Final Part) by Nobody: 6:58am On Feb 25, 2011
@ swordswifter,
after reading through your posts, I couldn't help but stand in agreement with you. One, no one is hiding the satellite location of the transmission. Is it a must for a list of such channels to be posted on the forum? definitely not, since its been confirmed they are promising channels, that alone should motivate intending viewers to switch to that location to have a feel of whats happening. It is not all channels that you watch free on your Tv means they are FTA. If we are being truthful to ourselves, we know the differences between the two immediately we see the kind of programmes they air or by the name given to the stations themselves. Keeping some parts of the story makes it intresting, so that serious viewers will discover the missing link themselves.
A great pal of mine on this forum told me during the course of the week there's a HD station close to 13E where they show everything showbable concerning sporting events (those with great understanding will decode that), so peeps should try find that out. I never asked for more info from him because it wont be useful for me.

I know i said i wouldn't talk about this matter again but i was really happy yesterday that my brother olofofo(who i know has been here for ages and whom I've been watching closely) began to understand that i meant and have never meant any harm.

My brother info.fta made me realize in all this,there are still people with a great sense of humor and that fta should be all about that not fruitless arguments.

And today my Sister enitan*who i'm not very sure is a female lol* so will call a brother,has always had hardlines with important issues on this forum and i never thought i'll ever be able to have the pleasure of one day calling a friend just echoed it all.

I never asked for more info from him because it wont be useful for me.
As for me,so far as it's over my skies,i just want to nail it just for nailing sake.I don't even have to know any frequencies.I'll track it anyway.That should be our spirit,that should be our drive,that should be our goal.Then we can learn more.Imagine,people are given satellite positions(angles),frequencies and symbol rates.They are even told of the fact that they can receive it wherever they are and are even given the estimated dish sizes to use.Even before hand,you'll have the first person who brought out the information(made the 1st post) listing the channels that will be received*ilish and yemoxtra*After which because we don't want to repeat them again by talking too much or in this case listing them more than once,we just inform everyone that the channels are "GOOD".Then you have some people coming back,after all this information,asking again of the channel list.Is it that we are just slow or we just want to encourage laziness?Let's all think about this.Anyway,I'm still happy.Whatever might turn out,i still know there are still "a few good men".Good morning.

A word is enuf 4 d wise all those who want to know the names channels before venturing to track a satellite should know that they are not helping matters here as far as a member has confirmed the goodness of the sat content no need asking of what and what made up the goodies it is better when you find out your self.
