if it is on prime focus dish, that means its going to be an idiot kind of practice by using a stick to hold the lnb while you move it around to hit green in front of the dish. if you fortunately hit green, note the position then use an iron bar to to hold the lnb to the position.

Ibaku: beinsport started broadcasting epl since last season. can never be free. if u hunt the bird with anything less than 4.7 to 4m u will end up getting the nwa beam 11471 with 4 channels which are scrambled . location lag.

I have used 4m for this channel and its 4 channels. Whats happening? Abu dhabi was a fortress. Aljazeera sucks.

Thanks Brother, l appreciate your quick response!

I have looked into the FastSatfinder website and realized that you need to INSTALL unto a Desktop/Laptop or an Android phone.
What am saying is that the software would only work where there is an "Operating System" to install it on (be it Desktop/Laptop/Android operating system).

The solution l was talking about "works" from a Portable DVD player. It then needs a Coax-Input Port! (Can be got from a DVB-S card if using it on a desktop)

Try to download the Satellite Director and install it in ur android phone and see its wonders when you launch it.



But the thing is that the DVD player does not run any "Operating system" like Windows or Android!

Am just wondering whether it is running from a 'DVD' placed inside the DVD player?


Just wondering?

I have seen the setup done before so l know it exists... somewhere!

Or maybe someone can throw more light on it for me?

@Chemicool:
The Android phone does not have a Coax Signal input port, so how are you going to connect it to an LNB cable from/on the Dish, to get the proper alignment of the dish.... which is where my problem lies?

Thanks for your input.
I need more "brainstorming" on the issue.

Waiting for more "ideas" please.

Just download the Satellite Director and launch it. Inside it u will see different satellites, pick the one u like to install, place your phone above the lnb, the app will teach you the rest.

SES & CWG announced on the 13th of August, 2014, the launch of a new digital TV platform for West Africa on SES's ASTRA 2F satellite at 28.2 degrees East. This independent and neutral TV platform in Nigeria will be the country's first free-to-air (FTA) DTH digital TV platform and provide the opportunity for broadcasters to reach millions of satellite homes in West Africa which are pointing their dishes to 28.2 degrees East.

Gurus in the house lets contribute here, srt 4669xii, not showing green on tp that is above 12.300 when connected to DiseqC, but when connected without DisEqC it will be working, and the DisEqC is working fine in other recievers. House what is the problem of this decoder, remember all other TPs below 12.300 is showing green and working fine.

Try another disecq on it, since it works on its own without disecq and d device should aswelll be upgraded. Thanks.

Gurus in the house, I bought a starsat dish & decoder out of curiosity and its set to SES-5 to which it got all startime stations but no freebie(FTA) is available on it. I tried some SES-5 TP i got from lyngsat to no avail.

Please, How can I use Starsat dish(100cm) and their decoder to get FTA station on SES-5 or any satellite nearby?

Thanks

thanks a lot for ur response, but the DiseqC is working fine in other decoders, i want let people to know something about diseqC switch, cos the switch need a certain power from the decoder to control the swich in order to use more than one dish, i suggest this a power problem, the decoder does not produce a enough power to frequency up to 12.400Gz, cos the decoder has to supply power to DiseqC in order for the switch to split signal to various dishes connected to it.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by graphicicon(m): 6:18pm On Aug 30, 2014
@all those finding it difficult tracking Dstv, the strongest Tp for tracking is 11.727 V 27.500, and remember that Dstv decoder is sensitive to partial contact of coaxial cable, make sure that the coaxial cable are connected properly, and LNB skew should be between 7 and 8 Oclock.

Pls., somebody shud help me. I was tracking nilesat7w dis morning wit my neighbours new lnb and I got 90% green signal. I removed d lnb to put my own old lnb and d diseqc started smoking. I quickly removed it and put back d new lnb but it didn't bring any signal. Remove d diseqc and put a new one and I got 50% signal but dat is nt enuf for nilesat. I checked multi tv and dstv but d signal was very low. I tot it was d cable but wen I changed it d problem was nt solved. Pls I need somebody to put me through.

i think that smoke that came out from ur DiseqC have short circuit your LNB input component, take it professional electronic engineer to convert LNB loopout to LNB input, cos the short circuited component in the LNB IN is not producing enough current to LNB, or use your electronic testing meter to read the voltage from LNB IN to confirm what am telling u now.

all customised decoder re close source meaning decoders like startime, DSTV, Daarsat, RRsat, can not be use for free to air because it is lock only to receive their signal. U need decoder like strong, qsat, openview etc. Regards!

Thanks @akplatnum2005, thats my first time with branded/customises decoder. anyway, can strong be used on ses-5, or which sat is closer so that i can maximise the use of the dish. thanks
