@ Enigma.
thanks so much for posting the link for the feeds frequencies, i say thanks so much again for always coming to our rescue on this forum, because no man is an island of knowldege.
But as you know no matter how good i think i am, i still always have some questions to ask, the frequencies of those feeds do they also have coverage area just as we have with the real frequencies. How can we know the frequency feeds that can be received in west africa especially in nigeria.
I remember then when u said in some of yur posts then that u were in Egypt and suddenly u were talking about about being in Uk, u asked some questions then,its just a pity that the starter of this thread is nowhere to be found and don't forget the holy book of Xtians once said, some will build a house but another will surely live in it, thats simply whats happening to BIGJOE, he's created a space for proffessional minds to rub minds together, well kudos for him.
Can u give us the estimate of the cost of that dish so we can plan towards it?
@ Gangsta,
there're so many sub-standard strong lnbs in the markets now, i will advice u go for hitv lnbs, they are readily in the market now, and there're no fake of that lnb for now, i can't say later.
@ heartsoclean,
i'm still waiting for that which we talked about, the contact of that guy
@ ola,
still also waiting for what u promised

@Enitan Feed frequencies also have footprints. In the link at the bottom you will see that several known feed frequencies on W3A have European footprints while about 2 or 3 towards the end have an African footprint. You can start by scanning the feed frequencies with African footprint. Beyond that you can do occasional 'blind scan' (if your receiver has it) and also check on Satelliweb occasionally to see what new feeds there are. Note feeds are not always active and most of the time there will be nothing on feed frequencies; that is why it is interesting to get them at the right time. http://www.lyngsat.com/ew3a.html |

Hi Guys
I must say that this thread is one of the most sort after in this forum because of the whole lot of information u can get on a daily basis.
I must commend the guys that take their time to share whatever information they have regarding FTA. Am also a big fan of free to Air TV, why pay so much when u can get more than enough channels just by beaming your satellite to a different locations. Anyway thats by the way. My main reason for coming to this thread now, is to seek for information, facts and true life stories of what am about to say and share with you all.
How possible is it to use a Hitv or DStv decoder that ave valid smart cards to download their channels into the decoder itself then change their located frequencies to FTA frequencies for free viewing. A fellow colleague in the office claims that is possible to achieve because he is already using it in his house. He is watching DSTv, Hitv, TrendTv and MYTv with all the channels on one decoder all for free without paying a dime. So i ask this great forum with great minds that have shown that with threads like this, people that have no knowledge of FTA can actually learn without stress. I call on the likes of Enigma, Enitan2002, twinstaiye, Badrua1, urfriend, peacenlove and others i can't remember to mention, to brain storm on this theory and see if it's possible to achieve and if it can work.
Cheers,

I for one don't think, this should be encourage in this forum. I have known a guy who watches DSTV almost free and he is even doing it for people, but he rely on a particular smart card of DSTV. Now, I have never encouraged that on this forum nor mentioned it because here, we deal solely on Free to Air.
But since most of the visitors to this thread are tired of subscription, no doubt every one of us will surely be interested in what you just posted, so I suggest you leave your email address or phone number, where such thing can be discuss off forum.
Besides, don't you think making such thing public here can also help the DTH (Direct to Home) companies to fashion another means of blocking such discoveries. Let us continue to base our energy here on FTA.

@twinstaiye Don't get me wrong, all i asked was that if it was possible for it to work. I and my colleague had argument about it working well and how possible it is. Anyway as u suggested, anyone that knows about what am taking about can reach me on 014824719 or my email dre901@gmail.com. And we can take it from there.Any comments and suggestions will highly welcomed. Thanks again Twinstaiye for observation and suggestions. Cheers, |

Peace and Blessings to all, i don't get much time to look on the forum due to work but just to answer enigmas question on why 3 dishes when i can use a moterised or 3 lnbs. I live in an apartment block with dish restrictins, after campaining for a few years to be able to put up a tordial wavefrontier so some can get sky and me other satellites, the housing authority decided to put up one sky dish for the 6 apartments for sky use astra2, so I was finished, no hope of hotbird or astra, so after searching the internet extensivly, i came accross a 40cm camping dish called an arcon sweety which can see through double glassing windows and gives the performance of a 60cm dish, my brother, i thought this was the solution, so i brought the dish which comes on a tripod, stuck it on my kitchen window sill inside looking through the window, but it didnot work as there is lead in the window, but once i opended the window, i got my astra 1, so i brought another dish, a 38cm maximo camping dish pointed to hot bird and amazingly can pick up virtual;ly every transponder, it acts more like a 80cm, dish. thats why 3 satellites. i now have even attached a swinging arm inside my kitchen window and can swing it in an out, when i want, i now have purchased a 57cm arcon sweety, which i will attach to a swing arm and motorise it, at some point when i return from naija i will up load some pictures.
As for my dear brother eniten who is having second thoughts about me as i said i need to get 7E locked. I suppose thats why on the forum rules it qoutes the use of proper english.
Sorry eniten, thats my East London slang for meaning i need to tune in to that satellite, hope this has cleared your doubt.
Yes it is technomate receivers that i have shiped over to ghana, I'm now wandering weather the dishes i shipped will be of use as i think they are proberbly desinged for elevatins of 0-45 degrees if i can rember rightly, or maybe i can turn the bracket upside down and it will give me a higher elevation, as i think the elevations of dishes in west africa would proberbly be much higher as you are nearer that clark belt or am i talking rubish
I actually use a skystar2 usb dvb card on my computer for satellite and have just run an s video cable and audio cables to my TV.
The computer decrypts so much more.
Stay Blessed one and All

i came accross a 40cm camping dish called an arcon sweety which can see through double glassing windows and gives the performance of a 60cm dish.
Can it really see through a glass window? I was told that sat signals cannot pass through objects including glass. |

@ all w3a viewers, here is good news for u all because i have a valid info i got from a popular braodcaster in southwestern part of the country. I got a surprise call from one Gateway Television broadcaster one Tokunboh Ajayi thar presents News Panorama, he's also at LTV, and we discuss at length because he's also a fan of this forum but not registered, he's about 3 c-band satellites installed in his home and being a broadcaster he has access to enough satellite infos, so he told me about free2view.co.za, the station involved in broadcasting MSNBC that they are about adding more channels for viewers in africa all free. So to get more info on that you can try visit that site www.free2view.co.za, or better still give him a call on this number if you have any other thing to discuss with him 08023337877. I for one foresee a future that is so close whereby we all will do away with hitv, dstv, trendtv e.t.c with this great step being taken by free2view company. @ OLA, better things to come around, try and give me a midnite call during this weekend so we can talk about this new development, it seems pas 7/10 is being forgotten on this thread for now, w3a is da bomb, give me a call because we have lots to discuss. With any new info, i promise to put it on this forum, @ peacenlove, don't mind me, we here use direct language, so next time try to put your words straight and direct so we wont read meanings to it. @ badaru1 & boljamoguns, where are u all? @ enigma, what do you say about this new development of that free2view? |

Ejike, Trust me as long as your window or glass is not lined with lead, it will perform through two sheets of glass, check out this link http://www.roadpro.co.uk/retail/product_reviews_details.aspx?prod=MULTIMO+SATELLITE+DISH&id=476also the acorn sweety dish has the same performance and can see through double glazzing, both dishes are prime focus dishes. and are both just under 40cm in size, I have now purchased a slightly larger Arcon sweety at 57cm, i am ecpecting this dish to give the performance of a 90cm dish. these dishes are not cheap at all, but i brought mine from ebay over the last year, they are not widly known about, so there are never to many floating about, if you see one for cheap, make sure you get it http://www.leisurepower.co.uk/acatalog/sweety_43_sm_Satellite_Dish.html |

for dre 09
Your freind may have all those networks open , how, im very interested in knowing, what receiver is he using, everything to do with encryption is software, i can not see any way one can change frequiences to acheive this, now that sounds like an old wives tale, with some untruths, but anything that can be closed with software, can be opened with software.
My skystar 2 usb on my pc, can almost open most with the right software, and emus,.
Maybe not on this trip, but definatly on my next trip to naija, i go carry my skystar usb receiver and my lap top and my portable 57 cm satellite dish, hook it up round my fathers place in lagos and see what i can watch. and report back my findings

@ steroid 101,
the skystar usb cost me £25 from Ebay around 6,500 naira i suppose.
Does anyone know where i can pick up a myTV and trend tv subscription card, and what is the expected price i should pay, how much veiwing does the card give and how much to top up the card using these scratch cards i have read about. according to lyngsat, it seems that my TV has a european beam on 68.5E, would like to test this card out when i return from my visit to the Motherland and see what i can do with it.

@ all,
i think its high time we all call upon everyone who has a dish whther 10,20,40,90,180,240,300,360cm dish thats a registered user here on this forum to come out openly and discuss what he/she has on his/her screen for research and educational purpose.
Cos to be sincere, am looking forward to when c-band users will start contributing also to this thread, and not only the ku-band users. What i've noticed is that there are so many c-band users on this forum but they are not registered and they act on info being given on this forum, i hereby implore them to register and share the knowledge, because no man is an island of knowledge, just come and think of it if everyone was to be like them, then there wont be any info being given here on this forum it will just be dry, so for this great work to continue, just let us start from somewhere especially for the c-band users.
You might start from posting your dish setup, number of satellites you are facing, you can't finish posting in a single day.
I'm hereby introducing a new member that will keep us up to date on anything free=to=air especially for c-band users, his name is tokunboh akintayo.
Very soon, you will hear from him.
@ all w3a/NSS7 viewers,
which channel show the man utd/chelsea match on saturday?
@ OLA,
how things for ya end, and don't forget to give me a call when u have additional infos, and did u meet badaru1 in lagos? reply me back
@ badaru1,
am far away from lagos now, i will be in lagos from july till october, we will surely meet by then, and when last did u get across to boljamoguns?
wont yur super decoder get locked by dstv anytime after someone must have purchased that.
I think it's high time you give us some info about yur setup and what u watch also, what do yu think?

hi Enitan/all, it's nice to be back on this great forum.I never knew I had been a member for up to 2 years until I tried to register some minutes ago.I look forward to meeting everybody especially the wonderful Seun Osewa.I would love to have him on my radio and tv shows.Anyway,I am the broadcaster Enitan referred to.I am ADETOKUNBO AKINTAYO(toxnaija).If you are in Southwest Nigeria,you must have come across me via your radio or/and tv, MITV,STARFM,OGTV,LTV,PARAMOUNT FMetc.check my profile in the national mirror,tuesday 22 april 2008. I am also a guru or guguru in both C and ku band satellite especially Nilesat.I have good news about ftas.Very soon,pay-tv will be useless.check all this: [i]Rotana brings Fox Movies to Middle East Fox Movies, a free-to-air English movie channel, will be launched in the region by a partnership between Fox International Channels (FIC) and Rotana Media Services (RMS).Nilesat 101 (7.0W) - 11766.00 (H) DVB-S - 27500 3/4 - NID:2048 - TID:5 "This is the first free-to-air branded Hollywood movie channel in the Middle East," said Ward Platt, president of FIC. Starting Thursday, the channel will be targeted at the Arab population. Fillers between movies will be tailored to the local niche market and movies will have Arabic subtitles. The first movie to be aired will be Blade Runner - The Final Cut, starring Harrison Ford. This movie will be aired for the first time in the region. All movies aired will be uninterrupted by advertisements or other breaks. On viewership, Platt said it is almost impossible to measure. "There are over 35 million homes receiving free-to-air television in the region," he said. Adding that, anyone with a receiver and a dish can watch the channel. The decision is adds more pressue to pay-TV broadcasting in the region. ART, Orbit and Showtime are still trying to gain a meaningful income out of pay-TV. This has become especially challenging with upwards of 250 free channels now broadcasting, and plenty of them providing quality programming. News Corp will launch two 24-hour free-to-air channels, one covering movies, the other showing US imports. Fox Movies will launch first, in May, while the second channel will air in the autumn, probably around November. The decision is another nail in the coffin of pay-TV broadcasting in the region. ART, Orbit and Showtime are still trying to gain a meaningful income out of pay-TV, especially challenging when there are upwards of 250 free channels now broadcasting, and plenty of them beaming out quality programming. Orbit, Arab Radio & Television (ART) and Viacom-backed Showtime Arabia have been selling pay-TV subs since 1994 and none of the players has managed to break through into mass-market propositions, or significant profitability. You can also watch MTV free on Nilesat 2.Free2View, a UK-based free-to-air digital satellite operator, broadcasts across Africa free of charge from France and is available through a digital decoder and a dish. It plans to launch new six channels by end of April and aims to have up to 36 channels. In Africa it offers 24-hour news, an entertainment channel and MSNBC.The new stations are MOVIES 24/7,PLANET EARTH,BOOGALOOS TV,X LEAGUE,GOD TV,and KIDS TV. Please tell the company the stations you want to watch by mailing Malcolm Ramsay, Free2View chief technical officer through malcolm@free2view.co.za or ej@free2view.co.za.Currently MSNBC Africa is on what is probably Africa's most powerful and biggest KU band satellite footprint, Eutelsat W3A at 7degrees East. “This will ensure that viewers from SA, Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Lesotho, Angola, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, Congo, Gabon, DRC, Malawi,Nigeria and Uganda will be able to have the opportunity to view America's fastest news channel,” Ramsay said. Free2view, as the name implies, is southern Africa's only free-to-air satellite TV platform and aims to provide broadcasters and rights holders with a stable, advertising funded platform to deliver their content to the millions in the region who had been previously excluded from these content global streams. Free2View's satellite footprint stretches across sub-Saharan Africa.Thanks. |

@ all,
thats the person i've been talking about, there's more new things to come on this forum, publicity to the general public on the benefits they stand to gain using FTA, i foresee a future when all these paytvs will be done away with, and you guys should have known that there's nothing i say on this forum that doesnt come to pass.
I can now start looking forward to reading new developments on c-band, who knows i might finally install one later on.
@ OLA,
our prayers have been answered at last, i persuaded TOKs to try and provide us with c-band infos, and there're more goodies to come from this great user.
@ toks,
thanks so much for that info, and i will surely be looking forward to greater infos from you, thanks once again.
