Hi ya'll,
I am a new guy on this forum.
Appreciation to ya'll for the good work.

geman

geman,
welcome to the best section on nairaland.

Thanks George.
I live in Uganda and it's not easy to come by some of the best LNBs like Fuji Inverto, to mention but a few.
However, I came across a Fuji HD lnb (Ku) and am wondering whether this lnb can work on my Technosat T-888 receiver. The receiver isn't HD, please advise.

Secondly, I managed to nail C band for Arabsat 5A at 30.5 East but do you think it is possible to nail ku on the same in Uganda?

For specs, I have a 1.8m Solid dish that is ground mounted.

geman,
you can use the fuji hd lnb with your technosat T-888 receiver. it doesn't matter the hd or non hd specs.

secondly you can nail arabsat ku @30.5 in uganda but i'm thinking you'll need a bigger dish than 1.8m. and it got to be solid as well.

Hey George,
Many thanks for your response, I appreciate.

God bless ya.

Dear All, I am new to the Freesat stuff but found it fascinating. I bought a Humax receiver and I want to use to receive ARABSAT/BADR in Uganda. Can someone help me on how to set it up what to use. Secondly, can I be able to receive Nilesat in Uganda (Kampala)

Best regards

Hi kabspat,
Welcome to Nairaland. I am not a guru yet but I have never been the same ever since I joined this forum. Trust me you will learn lots.

About your question, I am also based in Kampala and with my 1.8m solid ground mount dish, Technosat T-888 receiver, I have been able to track Arabsat @ 30degrees East C- Band, Badr 5 @ 26Deg East Ku-Band and Nilesat 201 @7degrees ku- Band.
I don't know your dish size but like George earlier posted, Ku for Arabsat @ 30deg u'll need a bigger dish than 1.8m. For Nilesat, to benefit very well, you need a bigger dish than 1.8m and a very good LNB. One of the LNBs recommended is Fuji; however, I have not yet tested it.

Otherwise, like I said, I am not yet a guru but I I have learnt a lot.
Try to check on this forum for more detailed information on the set up. What I gave above is shallow, I'll try to check on the forum and post some links for you as well.

Hope what I have shared above makes sense and contributes to solving your query.

Hey, kabspat,
Try out this link for the start; https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-419494.32.html.
As you search, you'll get better info on the same.

To digress a little, did you purchase that Humax receiver from Kampala, Uganda? If you did, please give me leads on where I can get one as well.

All the best.

Dear Geman,

Thanks for the info. I will be greatful if you send me more. I had a smaller dish (DSTV), so I will look out for the bigger dish and the LNB. I hope its not so costly. Secondly are you getting channels like MBC 12345 Persia, Dubai one? Then if I get one bigger than 1.8, can I be able to get Nile sat and Arabsat together?

Best Regards

Sorry I bought the Humax Receiver from Khartoum

Hey kabspat,
I am not able to receive MBC channels, Dubai one etc. This is because the size of my dish is small and also like I mentioned, one needs a very good LNB.

The fact that Nilesat is @ 7deg West and Arabsat @ 30.5 Deg East, it is not possible to track both on the same dish at the same time. However, if you want to use the same dish to track both, you will have to acquire a motorized bigger Dish (I think 2.4m minimum) such that you can occasionally move it to Nilesat or Arabsat as you so desire.
You can also use that one dish if it is not motorized such that you time and again move it by yourself to the specific Satellite. (This is rather tiring but depending on what you like, you can always go the hard way).

The other alternative is to acquire 2 Dishes of the same Size, like George said earlier "Solid Dishes" and then position them at the respective Satellites. This would do if you want to have both birds on at the same time. With this, then you would have to go into acquiring a Diseqc Switch.

All the best.

Why start this section when we have the whole Newbie section for all newbies? You want to clatter the pages with useless and duplicated sections?

Hi Pidzo,
Sorry for the inconveniences caused. We'll get to the right Newbie section.

However, about being useless, I am not sure about that,

Be blessed.

This place is not where u are supose to ask question go to newbie sattelite instalation if u are new.u are welcome

Hi Sensicut,
I appreciate your your concern.

To every folk on Nairaland, apologies for this thread.

@Sensicut
Its a VERY big surprise indeed. When Geman apologised but said he is not sure about the posts being useless I agreed to an extent and I rested my case only to see someone trying to push him on. I looked at Geman's response as coming from someone who is 'Very Mature and Understanding.' Thanks Sensicut that we see things from the same view point, and I am not a trouble maker too

@all.this forum is not where we supose to be abusing ourself, because is not only this place we will meet we must surely meet somewhere oneday,except someone that he doesn't no how to ask question,this is where we are sharing knowledge.one love
