Official Thread of Free-To-Air Satellite TV (Part 1)

Twins, you info have been very useful,however, do you know the code to watch e.tv or other channels like bbc,fox sport using skysat decoder on myTV for free? and what other satellites can i lock apart from those christian channels sat, Then do u knw the frequency for intelsat 605?

Thanks

@twinstaiye:

thanks mayne. Really appreciated it. I got a question. This FTA of a thing, isn't it similar to those VCRs that are then turned into decoders (i hope you know them)? Because the channels u started  can be gotten on those ones too. Channels like mbc 1, 2, 3, channel O, discovery, eurosport, cartoon network, nickleodeon e.t.c show on that one.


PS: on these FTAs, can one get channels like Mtv or Mtv Base, Action X? What kinda music channel will one be  receiving?

Just asking 'cos my cousins once had f.t.a and were getting mostly arabic channels.

Can i subscribe for dstv stations using strong decoder that does not use card. Secondly what position of the dish can i get the best stations using the strong decoder.

Please who can do the job for a fee? I will definitely not go through these troubles to watch tv!

@damhadji
There is no codes, you are talking about hacking the coded channels, and there seems to be anyone around who has such codes.

@Jimi90
Anyone can installed Nilesat for you in Lagos, especially from place where you buy the dish and its accessories. Ask them for the installers they will direct you to one, or alternatively, ask the for DSTV installers, they can equally do the installations.

Hello can some one give me a least of what to get,how to get it and cost.

I want to get these Free to Air stuff.

I agree with Gbade.x,

Hello Guy's,
Have really enjoy all what u have been saying about FTA. But the most fnny part is that since have been using it i never tought of all this Channels u are talking about. Well i'll like any one 2 tell me how to get all this station or channels on Strong Decoder,SABC 1,2,3 and mbc.
Thanks.
Richie.

@twinstaiye:  Can you or anyone you know do this job from start to finish for a reasonable fee?  I'm not a technical person and these processes sound cumbersome.  I shall expect your response.  Many thanks.

@twinstaiye
Thanks for the response. I got a motorized dish. It's being installed now. Will definitely update you later.

Now I think some mumu have to wake up and stop paying DStv on this stuff, I think some of the things we guys are talking about here is all totally for free as Bigjoe would have it say. And this is it to Bigjoe and Twinstaiye, I think you guys are very intelligent and more so I believe that our people have been fooled  a lot, but what I have to say is this. DStv is actually for free or don't you think, since everything they have is installed on the card and it's the same card that will do the installation process or what ever. Now if only people can sit down for themselves and discovere what they are missing I think is alot. I personally knows for sure that all things the white men brought to this country is to make money for themselves of which so many of the are programmers and software developers and they are rushing to our good damn country to make cash for themselves. I personally browse at home with free internet subscription right here in nigeria and more so using Dstv for free. So you just think about it. If only our people can just sit down and discover so many things and they will know that they all for free. DStv is free even in South Africa, just visit www.lyngsat.com and you'll know that what I'm saying is true, I believe one thing that in as much as you can get the frequency, the symbol rate, the polarization and the satellite name, I think it will definitely show you the station. Thanks call me for further explanation 01-8906836, 08035324914 Iretunde is my name.

hi @biggjoe.
how can i contact u.i need one.

can someone pls give me the details of his or her own fta system at home. the receiver, size of dish, satellite pointed to, and other necessary stuffs including the nos of stations received, 

Can anyone give me some info about receiving Sky channels in Nija. I have a sky digibox with a decoder card. I understand i can receive the stations in Nija with the right size dish. Sky is transmitted via the Astra satellites.  What type of dish, size would i need for this. Thanks

Give details of your receiver --- the brand etc, then we can take it further.

In summary, if your receiver can be patched, the first thing is to 'patch' it by loading appropriate software. In some cases you can manually input appropriate keys into your receiver which may be able to open up some of the channels. That is what is currently happening with eTV (68.5e in Nagravision) which can be viewed on many receivers without paying a kobo in subscription.

I've had a look again at what's on Nilesat. Unfortunately the main encoded packages on Nilesat (Showtime with Premiership football next season; Al Jazeera Sports and one other) use an encoding system known as Irdeto which is the same code used by DSTV in Nigeria. Irdeto 2 has not been widely broken (though it is claimed that it is broken on a card called Gamma). Because the Irdeto 2 system has not been widely broken, most receivers cannot open Irdeto encoded packages without actually buying the appropriate card as with DSTV - except maybe for card sharing with a Dream box or similarly empowered receiver.

Sorry, you want to watch you pay!
