the proof of the theory is on page 112 of the new edition of the tele satellite and broadband magazine.

according to them it was a known fact as far back as 20 years ago!

here's the link http://magazine.tele-satellite.com/TELE-satellite-0811-eng.pdf

i do hope there's someone in the house that can read some german for US!  Grin

I forgot to add that this should hopefully put the matter to rest, so Please go for more 2.4 dishes in lagos ooo, so that one day we can at least use 1.8 motorized to receive nilesat.

Naah, you are still mixing issues up.  They are talking about linking satellite dishes (multiple dishes in that sense) to increase gain. This is well known and we have been discussing this on a UK forum for the last month. It is a different thing to the theory that has been claimed here; and even, that is not easy and is not something for the everyday hobbyist.

@ toxnaija,
no wahala, i will be there by that appointed time, but there's a special item you also didnt mention,-shade's head. I think that was missing in the list also, cos with that there'll be total atonement.
My baby even dey sick now, i just hope say no be you infect am with your sickness?
Can you also be f help to me concerning that decoder picture i posted, concerning keys input.

@ vickoy23,
i will definitely give you a call one of these days,cos am damn busy at the moment.

@ olofofo/badaru,
what really will you advise me t go for, motorised 1.8m or 2.4m nile.
Can someone pls use 1.8m experiment with nile if the MBCs can be gooten, cos if possible thats what i'll be going for, it is only the MBCs needed by me and my household.

@ twinstaiye,
This seems to be a wakeup call for you and everyone here, let a committe be set up concerning the FTA seminar, and if possible if finances are to be committed in this, an account should be opened and let every intrested member starts paying now, or what's your opinion on that?

@ all,
i came across a discoery and am just being confused and not convinced concerning the strong decoder getting HD pictures, on eutelsat w6 check link http://www.lyngsat.com/ew6.html at freq 11555H, 5000. The LBCs package is in MPEG-4 which is same as HD, are we now saying a special HD deocder is needed to get these free stations?

« #2540 on: October 08, 2008, 02:12 AM »

@enitan

since Nilesat is the DSTV of FTA, i advice that you go for 2.4m, you get your MBC and much, much more. relying on 1.8m to get mbc right now, i believe is pushing it.

Hi all  i am back oh- Still on the topic of organizing a live forum for the online forum, Twinstaiye suggested we have another topic , I agree but i think it will be after we have a committee in place , a committee of about 5 persons, a commitee consist of people from Lagos, kaduna etc ,   some  people's name have been suggested ,  BIGJOE, i  think TWINSTAIYE should be part of it too

I am sure we can put together a world class event, lets set our objectives and boundaries and give the job to committee to organize . The way I see it this forum is becoming a force! 

Guys see ya, lets take FTA to the public, we can even get a spot on channels tv or something.

All,

Yesterday i got Jujukemist's Number and called him, i can tell u guys i am really excited that i am going to meet him today, cos there is so much i believe we can learn from each other and maybe even pass on to the house. if this feeling is anything to go by, a general forum where one can get to meet all the members of this thread and maybe even get to discuss with other corporate bodies will be a very welcome idea. i do agree the commitee should be set up and put in place before the thread is setup. the timing is critical though. the period around Christmas would have been the best cos work is less, and most people will be coming home (i understand Enigma should be in the country then.) but just before christmas will make sure we finish in time to still be able to travel home for those who want to do that, anyway, we'll sort all those things out sha.

Enigma,

I just checked out that link, since those keys were released 2 days ago, they should still be active, the funny thing is that i was on that site on the 5th but there were no keys posted then. this network access i don't have at home anymore is really frustrating, it is taking all my self discipline to remain at work and not dash home to start trying them out on my decoder. thanks a lot though.

Olofofo,

thanks for your forebearance, wish everyone was like you.

All (again),

I see some people still have a problem with inputing keys into decoders manually, i am wondering how i can make a video of the process for both a strong decoder and my ALI clone, and post it someone and paste the link, i'll try and work out the logistics and get back to you guys.

@ Olofofo; In Response to this.


I dey like I no dey my brother! Seun needs to upgrade this application o!  Sad Sorry to say that his system is kind of old. PM is a must for any forum. This will help prevent some of you from posting personal information in a public domain like this. Wink

As I bin dey adjust (peak) my LNB on one of my Dishes (Has Two LNBs and Mainly Feeds on this one) the other night, I nearly get frost bite due to very frigid cold temperatures. Sad But, as I peak am finis, na so  Quality level just rise pass 85%!!!! Cheesy I bin watch de American presidential debate from de time, when the audience begin enta the hall until them finish the debate and them empty the hall!  Grin Cool

@ALL
A note about Feeds:
For those of you that enjoy watching feeds and back Hauls: It is not a good idea to publicly display the Transponders in any public forum as the providers may catch-on and scramble them. Here in the US, we lost the ability to watch WWE's live and taped matches, because some dude(s) couldn't contain their excitement and revealed the Frequencies that WWE broadcast their Wrestling matches. In the future, if you want to talk about an available feed, you can say for example, "there is a sport feed on 68°E, just scan for them." Don't be specific about transponder info. If you don't want to see all your feeds scrambled, you all better be discrete in divulging Satellite Feeds info.

If it says MPEG4 Encoding, your Strong MPEG2 decoder can only lock onto the signal, but the resulting Video will be Scrambled. You need an MPEG4 Capable receiver to enjoy the transmission. Wink

@ Olofofo

In response to this:

The arrangement of Dishes you saw on Page 112 of that Magazine is only used to increase singal gain from a particular satellite, and the resulting increased signal is then directed towards a particular device at a particular station (NASA uses the same method to gather Signals from the MARS Rover).  If for example an additional dish is erected in the same area, but connected to a different station (Terminal), the new station will not see an increase in Signal, but will only output the signal strength applicable to only one dish.  Therefore, a chain of Dish clusters can only increase the Signal output to a particular device in a terminal, and not a geographical region.

I guess i was taking by the subject

"Multiple Dishes Pointing to Same Satellite for Higher Gain"

thanks for clearing that up.

you have just made the most important statement on this thread. Infact the continious exsistance of FTA is hinged on your advice.
Can we all imagine if Nilesat scramble their FTA premium channels simply because the TP was found to be freely posted on such a forum.
