Guy I don't know if you picked offence because I said I will give it a try.

But nothing special about that app.

Buffering is as the same as Modbro, sybla tv and kodi etc.

No offence please.


The tone was a little harsh.

I'm only trying to help and posting an info based on my experience with the App.

Modbro is slower than this app, except if you're in an area where there's really no 3g

One thing I observed is that the speed is self adjusting, in that the picture quality automatically reads your data speed in kbps and alternates. Modbro and kodi are static and freezes a lot.

I was watching Skysport 1 and when the data speed dropped, it didn't restart buffering, but I noticed picture quality dropped and whilst the speed increased, the picture quality automatically improved.

Also my data balance after the test didn't significantly reduce compared with kodi and modbro.

I watch Bayern Munich vs Juventus for 120 mins on Modbro and I exhausted about 400 to 500mb

Good news to everyone
Some guys in Ghana have done something commendable with this App. The app is called 2 c TV, available on google play store
It consumes very minimal data compared to kodi and other IPTV apps
They've got channels added and promised to add more channels. Unlike other apps that freezes like freezer, this app makes a lot of sense. I've downloaded and tested it as ok
just went on play store and i saw dat it require subscription, how do u make payment? like yo know.

downloaded tested with CNN, the app isn't too bad, and i do love the simplicity of the channels few channels but it's quite ok, and less dan 5MB app size which means it takes little or no space in your phone and d app speed ok with an average network speed u can still stream with less or no buffering, when next i subscribe i will watch for longer hours to really see d data consumption

Free To Air is basically impossible but you can go for a substitute Animal Planet, it's on Intelsat at 66E. Cband of course. And in HD. Not a bad substitute.

dish size for animal planet

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by davodyguy: 8:50pm On May 09, 2016
For those who intends to track 9e, here this

You can still go ahead to track it for whatever its worth. Why say so?

9e still has lots of interesting channels especially the AFN package and the kabeloski package that are FTA BBC, Blomberg, TV5 CCTV etc.

However for the CCCAM, I'll advice you hold on till after May or till the end of May, 2016. Cos the Austriasat Hungary that hosts digisports and sport TV Hungary may likely leave by 15th of May, 2016. But if they failed to leave by June 1st, 2016 then you can resume the purchase of CCCAM. But for now, hold on.

As I type, all sports channels are still active

Learning they say is a continuous process, I was trying to increase my signal level on Sp 24 @ 20w and in the process my glass dielectric fell off. Then the signal jumped from 48% to 60%!
Up till now my dielectric is off and the signal level is still at the peak ever. Try yours and report. My dish size is 1.8m in north central Nigeria.

You can track 9e or sport 24 hd with your 1.8m. but that decoder of yours is proper old school. If you cant afford 4992a, kindly go for any of the qsat models

For a start. 4922a is not in the market unless you see someone who wants to sell his own. That means it doesn't have a price.
