Are you using one LNB to get 26e and 28e ?

Or are you using two LNB to get the two satellite? If you are. Then try resetting your diseqc switch position of each sat, in the installation setting of your current decoder.

Good morning. It appears that there are bearable channels on 28 e which I didnt get when I tracked it, because most of the ones I saw were really bad with poor content. Yet many people here still rate it high. Please tell me what I am missing. Are there good channels on 28e that I missed?

51e should be at the top of your 42e.

You can still try and experiment by changing your primary LNB to either 42e or 32e and see how other signals strength pops up.


I actually prefer 28e as primary. Thanks.

That hype you keep hearing about 28e is mostly coming from people that love sports (Like Gtv Sports plus for example) Delete that out of the equation, the hidden channels there are still mostly Ghana based.

Gtv
Gbc news
Gl-tv
Gtv sports plus
Gtv life
Crystal prime
Crystal xtra
Crystal plus
TV Africa
TV3
Metro TV
Net2
Etv
Kfs
Top TV
Max TV and some more

However different strokes for different folks. So here is the frequency 12645 V 30000. Remember it only appears in multistream decoders

You may be right. But it doesn't hurt to do a blind scan as suggested. Always try and fulfill all righteousness before ruling out any suggestions given.

Good day brothers, I run a viewing Centre, PLEASE I need someone to recommend for me an iptv enabled decoder with these few key specifications Auto roll, multi stream h. 265. Or any other price friendly decoder that I can use /add to my 2 Dstv decoders to reduce the cost of my subscription
The UEFA Champions league is coming soon and I can't afford to pay Dstv #18500 for collective account.

My biz is being badly affected because there are many betting shops around my area and they are showing all the matches for free. Please help! U can whatsapp me on 08066405331, God bless.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by adubam(m): 3:30pm On Oct 10, 2020
Go for Tiger Decoder, Hello Box 8, or Gt media boxes. These are high price decoders.

For low budget go for the following:

Very well said.

Digitman:


I am going to make this simple for you. From a personal experience over the years. I have come to a resolve that buying a decoder that is embedded with premium =

African movie
Foreign movie
News
Music
And probably sports ( even if not live football)

That you pay little or nothing to watch, before you start thinking of adding other dishes or satellite position to watch other free to air station is the Way to go.

Because in do so.. You don't have to worry if the stations will someday go off or totally get bored of not actually getting anything premium or reasonable to watch, for yourself or family members. Whenever you turn your TV on.

As of today, only two decoders can actually give you that safety ( I stand to be corrected)

So which are they you may ask?

(1) Strong 497S

(price for decoder, around 20k or above) has a guaranteed embedded premium stations for African movie, foreign movie, news, news. That you pay not more than 2k5 to 3k yearly ( depending on where / platform you are using to subscribe from) . Which is achievable with just one dish. After that you can still decide if you wish to add an extra dish or 3 more dishes or LNB to get whatever free stations is out there. ( MEANING IT CAN STILL BE USED FOR FTA ) it's H.265 compatible and it multisteam.

(2) OURTV decoder

( company price 11900 naira but can not be more than 13k from outside source)
It also has a guaranteed embedded premium channels for African movie, foreign movie, cartoon, news, music, sports ( though not live). All receivable with one dish. After that you can still add three more dishes or LNB ( MEANING IT CAN STILL BE USED FOR FTA) However there is no software for now to make it multi stream but it's H.265 compatible .

However, there are still many decoders out there in the market that can be used to hunt for FTA stations but don't come embedded with premium station from factory.

TSTV decoder has their own channels as well and can still serve for FTA purposes but I am not confident enough to add it to the list yet. Judging from history.

So meditate on where your priorities lies, for in doing so, you will make a better choice on which decoder in the market suits your real needs.

One love

That decoder doesn't multistream out of the box, at least the ones I've come across, it can be updated with flash drive though. But I haven't seen a multistream software patch for it either, I'd check

You're very correct. But I was only threading carefully with my statement. You and I know why Dstv still stand supreme when it comes to live sport in this side of the continent. I have been around this group of individuals who always end up buying Dstv over startimes. Because their definition of live sports must start With English premiership, before all you listed.

All the same thanks for being the one pointing it out. Just like I said before, I was only threading carefully not to release an info that I don't know if the company Will stop doing that all of a sudden.

Once again I am happy for your input. Thanks and one love

My reason for not being too quick to define the decoder as a live sport showing decoder.

Many people who are going the FTA path and are sports lovers. You have to be careful about what You advice them to go and buy to watch their favourite sports. Because their blood dey hurt oh. Lol
