  Nice to hear from you, from the sound of it you are cool. PORN, haaa . why you wan spoil my name. I was only talking about triple x( XXX) abi u never see am, especially the one with ice cude in it. Anyway am cool and my landlord does not stay in my house. But hmmm, come to think of it i like new stuff. You get it all my guy , getting dry , think the fishing stuff would have given us another challenge, but the DVB-S card, usb stuff is not available here yet , Let hope on that soon.

 Ok man, Big bros Eni is not here but i sure can help , first we have to know what you have now , you are talking about 36degreeE. That will be W4. cool , now i will like to make it snappy , so give me this bits of information. What was the elevation setting on which your dish lies to get perfect W4(36E)?

 With that i think you can do wonders , think for 7/10 you need to lower the the elevation by 30-35degrees from that of 36E, its somewhere  in between. then the azimuth , you should now move the dish about 5 degrees to the left from 36E position, when you are facing the direction the dish is facing.(you can see that the azimuth position is really little , so its by about 2inches or less.) so try getting the elevation right . if this work let me know ,, and we go for W3.

Hi everyone, I would like to know if Nilesat 102 can be received here in Nigeria and West Africa in General. I'm really much interested in watching MBC 2 and MBC Action of which I don't know if I can receive it here. I equally like to know if Nollywood and other channels on that frequency have been encrypted. Thanks for all ya support.

.
@all
for all those seeking and want to know about nollywood and her sisters on trend at w4, they are encrypted.

@justx24
Thanx alot for the info will try this over the weekend and will give u feed back.

@ Ejike3
 
For this post, I sabi u from some wia? NRs perhaps? 

 @justx24.
 
"Let me know if you need pictures of this tutorial." Yes, I need it sir.

I have been working seriously on EUTELSAT 3A with 0.9m dish but i do find it difficult to track its signal, particularly,MTA International.

I will surely find ur pixs very useful. Sir/Ma, you can please add any technical info that can be of advantage.

please, send a copy of your reply to my e-mail: gecom08@yahoo.com

Thanks.

 @Mr. Gem
  Ok man i hear your cry , out for help , am here to give back what i learn from Nairaland, so we make our communication public here technically , no shaking. OK what have you being able to track on your 90cm dish , ? you need to pass me the information on what elevation you have on your dish when its on W4.(trend tv location). And we work from there. My pictures are  somewhere, check it out , maybe you search for my posts ( advance search option). Anyway we can go over it , Give me this information , If you don't respond by tomorrow i will generally talk about it anyway, The basic idea is you add 30degrees to your existing W4 position elevation. ( someone check it out and correct me )Although it can be a few degree +VE or -VE . less than 2degree both ways .Hope you guys feel me ? And for the Azimuth, it s abit tricky about 50degrees to the right of W4. How do you know that or i mean get that, hmmmm maybe you get your mathematical set and your protractor( u know that degree angle thing). Mark a cone of 50degree separation on a cardboard. And use it for an idea of where it could be or should . But man if you get the elevation just move it far right toward the south( by now you should be able to name your North, South,East and West. When you guess you are facing south now. Then it time to turn back and try alter the elevation abit , half a cm at a time . Keep trying and see what you have in 10 munite of scanning. The surprise i got when i was scanning my W3 was the distance from W4 in the azimuth , anyway , check it out and let me know ,
Let all who have W4 and W3 on verify this information. maybe some corrections for the HOMES.

All on 7/10 hope you guys watch CHEATERS last night oo, cool programme.

sorry all for been out for so long.

@ enitan
             bro get yourself a 1.8m dish n save yourself all this wahala. stop waiting till u see channels like mbc's and fox movies before u upgrade to c-band,believe me in c band at least u have something to watch. intel 906 and 902 re good.

     WHAT IS IT THAT TREND TV IS UP TO.NOLLYWOOD SCRAMBLED;AND MAYBE THEY RE WAITING FOR people TO RUSH FOR SUBCRIBTION.
      GUYS, U SEE IN NAIJA NOW people VE STARTED GETTING KNOWLEDGE OF SATELLITE TV'S AND I THINK THE BEST SOMEONE LIKE TREND SHOULD VE DONE WAS TO GO FOR FTA.REASON IS,because OUR people VE USED CTL ON VIDEO MACHINE TO WATCH FOREIGN PROGRAM FOR FREE FOR YEARS AND THEY STILL GO AROUND 2DAY LOOKING FOR FTA TV EVERYWHERE TO THE EXTEND OF MANAGING 68.5 DEGREES WHICH IS FULL CHRISTIAN CHANNELS, SHOULD VE TELL THEM THAT FTA HAS COME TO STAY IN NAIJA.
      I THINK WHAT TREND SHOULD VE DONE WAS TO SHARE TRANSPONDANT (T.P) WITH ONE OF THIS FTA TV'S AND BROCAST ONLY NOLLYWOOD FROM THERE INSTEAD OF SPENDING DOLLARS AND PONDS TRYING TO PAY USELESS STATIONS THEY THINK THEY VE THERE.
                                       TREND SHOULD VE MAKE A LOT OF MONEY FROM ADVERT ON NOLLYWOOD IF THEY WHERE REASONABLE ENOUGH TO LEAVE IT FREE.
             

@pitodenz
 
Nice point you are making on trend TV nollywood. they could have made money with that , am sure not many people will be rushing to buy theri card with those old films they show, at least not me , 'because i dig "SPIDER MAN".

 About your 1.8m dish i really will like to know how to do the alignment , have read about it , but maybe , you can help me understand it better , And please don't forget , what is the advantage of the pan dish you use over the net one. In Ibadan here the net 1.8m dish is 10k, Bracket is 3k, motor is 3k. making 16k. for the LNB i can't remember. And whats the use of having 2 cband LNB on one dish please , 'i understand 1 C-band and 1 KU-band on same dish. And maybe cool pictures too will help .

Hi guys in this forum, sorry thread. Hope I'll not be penalised for referring to it as forum. Very interesting and educating thread I confess. please I have this problem; does any naira lander use Echostar DSB-900 FTA? Mine has since stopped to get signal from the LNB direct unless if I loop through from other receiver. Also I notice that When I loop from other receiver like "strong SRT 4651x" I get only the clear picture but noise as volume. Can the gurus in the house tell me whats wrong with my DSB 900 FTA and perhaps what I may have done wrong or not done to get the expected service . Thanks.

 And here the side view , both wont attach on same post , despite less than 200kb, so i play this trick all for you 

justx24

hello everyone, i have gone through some of your posts and i must confess you guys are doing great. please i need a patch for strong decode to unlock some channels. this is my email davidon2005@yahoo.com thanks

@pitodenz
please i want to know if your dish is the locally constructed type?

@nilesat
can you show a pic of some your locally constructed dish. but you have advertise on the forum too mcuh oooo! here we learn free what ever we know frow the gurus so if you be guru let the house know what you know that we don't know

 
 @Nilesat

 Good information bro , but as you can see, we all give free information here, but sure u can't give us your dish , for free oo  , no problem , here we need you to show us pictures of dish you have made and maybe some thats are already put into use. Definitely you will know about using multiple LNB on the dish show us a demo actually under use. Thats the best you can do , and definitely you need to make your price public too , we don't have to call individually to ask for just that. We only want to call you to order.
Think you can handle that, at least its not secret that you are a business man.
