@ badaru plz can u explain more on how to use two di-electric plate in one c band lnb.also your magic box how sonner can it open dstv on 36 degree east ku band.
@ butoneday
sorry network can't allow me to answer your call the other day.u still dey work?
@ toxnaija
bros i know i lot of channels re up there in nilesat and it can be gotten with bigger dish in the south,but does it solve our problems?NO,because a lot of us can't even afford not even the space but the price for that or don't u know that someone in senegal can easily pick the same station in nilesat with 90cm dish.what i think we needed is how to encourage fta company to beam on our land.
@ all
the w3a stuff tire me self na so so french but msnbc with go africa is good.as for me i ve only one 90cm but i can't miss any good program in those four ku band.i motorilize it manually with my hand and each dosnt take up to a minute.i only use nss7ku when theres premiership n 68.5 on weekends for etv x-movie the other two i share them depending who is around me.but am talking to my landlord into allowing me for bigger dish.so if u can, i don't think theres a reason for more than one 90cm in a nairaland forum member house because i believe by now tracking should be part of us.the naughty w3a is not all that hard hence u know the direction n elevation.because i track it out and in more than two times a day.
@ enitan
i blind scan everyday bt no show.have u come across 3650 strong reciever,is without card reader.i think the reciever is damn good because it hold signal more than 46xx n its very cheap.

@ all
for those who like to watch more station without spending much money,u can go for 1.8m dish on c band.with three lnb installed one on 64 n the other two on 68.5 east,with these u can get more than 100 fta channels.i ll post some pick how this is done.this is only for brothers in the south because northerners got their nilesat which i jealous everyday.
N.B. remember u ve to buy the new strong c band and ku band combine together.

@All
Though this forum is meant for those in Nairaland, I believed it has gone international. I live in Accra and have benefited immensely from the posts here.
I believe the birds available in Lagos are the same birds available here in Accra hence we could share our experiences. Kudos to all!
We have to make our voices heard so that certain birds could be beamed here in West Africa. I look for the day when Hotbird would be available to us!

@ salamander,
point to note is that, the infos being shared here are not only meant for registered users, but also visitors, anywhere around the globe.
@ badaru1,
we all still waiting for what you promised this coming weekend.
@ pitodenz,
i don't think one will still be able to get that model of strong in the market.
I've finally decided that having done with the ku-band aspect of FTA being receivable in Nigeria, its high time i install a 2.4m dish, i will definitely squeeze out the space in my father's house, if its to remove the roofing of my apartment (joking), for that dish size to be installed for Nilesat.
Can you please give out the estimated price of this accessories
2.4m pan dish (strong or eurostar)
Combined Ku & c-band lnb
and cost for installation.
And don't forget i will be using a pole to hold the dish instead of using the tripod stand
I will be looking forward to reading your reply based on my request, other response are also welcome

mide2008,
I'm glad to hear that NILESAT can come on mesh.My installer told me it wouldnt come out except on fibre,minimum of 3.0m.But i am happy to hear the good news.Mind you,I am not into installations but information hunting.So,don't make it look like the confusion was deliberate.
all,
please help me out.I have been trying to get nss7 ku on my 2.4 meshdish with both the c and ku lnb installed but it is not coming out.The installer got the signal with my Strong non X series but it refused to come out when I changed to the 4653X series.Could it be the change in receiver or disruption in dish alignment?The installer doesnt want to come back from Ilorin but my installer in Abeokuta couldnt get it though he promised to get back on Saturday.He is even a visitor to this forum.What could be the problem?I have introduced this forum to so many satellite professionals and enthusiasts.No news yet on free2view!
How much is the Strong Xseries in Alaba and Oshodi?

@ pitodenz,
i just took my time to check on those 3 satellites u mentioned and i can say its only 68.5E thats is really loaded compared with 64.2 and 66, and even the 68.5 has a lot of repeated stations both in c-band and ku, is there anything really intrested in there?shed more light to that, should we be ready for movies channels that can be compared with Fox movies and MBC 2/ MBC action on Nilesat.
We need this info just for some of us who are still yet undecided all because of problem that has to do with space.
Thanks,
@ all,
we all should be ready for justx24, because he's coming here again with a good narration from his experience
@ tox9ja,
all these installers are just looking for excuse on their own parts, they don't have enough theories as we do here on this forum and thats why they keep on giving conflicting infos.
With 2.4m pan or fibre, Nilesat here we go, no hassles at all

mide2008

@ enitan,
i prefer u go for 2.6 fibre dish because it is a little bit bigger than 2.4pan this is because in lagos the signal is not as strong compare to other south west towns. please make c and ku band and it should be motorised for maximum satisfaction. but if there is no space you can dedicate it to nilesat. the free channels on it is enough.
@tox9ja
Am not an installer but am into installation. My experience dates back to the 90's during the era of arabsat on analogue when i started experimenting on the one installed at our house then. From then on no going back. Concerning your your problem on Nss 7 it could be that there is disruption in the alignment cause the X series is more sensitive than the 4652 series. So it is not the receiver. Is your c band still working on that sat? is it motorised? because you can not pick the Nss 7 c and ku on the same position. when your dish is on nss7 is your ku lnb on top of the c band or below it? If your lnb is at the top of the c band, try to pick AIT on the c band on 18degrees west and Nss 7 ku will come out because they are on the position. it it is below the c band try to pick brazil on intelsat 907 on 27.5 west and your nss 7 ku will come. Many of the installer can only deal with 90cm dish because it is commonly use at this side,installer from ilorin are very good because they are use to installing bigger dish over there.

PHEW!!!  Thank you all for your help, i definitely saw "whin" tracking this bird , naughty W3a. To let you know i got it , and am out to let you guys into how i did this , definitely will try and get pictures in the forum too , to let you have a very clear view of what really happen. Imagine , the ladder i rented for 2 weeks running is still in my sitting room  , really didn't bother me , just want to pick on fast on my second Hobby. I tried everything according to advice from everyone in the forum, and especially on phone from Enitan and Ola(goes by another name in the forum i think?). I think you all knew i was on W4, since then i can pick it blind folded( i mean the W4). the position was the direction of my "sunrise"( where the sun comes out ). So the basic thing i did was try identifying the bird( you guys helped me with that). Then i check on all the "dish positioning" softwares or site and check out the information on how my dish should be place to get this bird(W4), and i compare the information to what i have on my roof , Ibadan i used LAT=6.583, LONG= 3.033, ( or just nearest whole number 7 and 3 respectively). i got this from the site and software i used Dish ELEVATION = 50.99 degree, Azimuth = 105.03 degree(magnetic). think that was all i need . On checking my dish elevation i saw its lies on 40degree( readings embossed below my dish). so i relate 50degrees from software to 40degree on my dish. The azimuth really can't check but i know its almost perfect EAST from the south end(i know sun rises from the east). I think we all know how this works so , but if u need more help with that , can ask. now i did the same thing for the bird W3, which am yet to find as of then, same position and i got this result ELEVATION for W3 = 80.96, AZIMUTH for W3 = 153degree(magnetic). with this i can see that the description of just make sure your dish is facing the sky is not enough for me , its almost directly up , but not quite up, so i went back to my dish to fix this , i know 50 = 40 on my dish for the W4, so for my W3 my 80 = 70. So i adjust my dish elevation to 70 on the marking bellow my dish( think you all know what marking am talking about?), don't worry will post pictures if need be. Then to the azimuth i got 155 degree, hm? with this i know its closer to south end but on the east side , because 0 degree = NORTH 90 degree= EAST 180 " = SOUTH 270 " = WEST So the description of little to the left of my W4 position is also a bit confusing to me , maybe from my position in Ibadan. 'because u can see that for W4 its just 105 and for W3 its 153, there is a difference of about 48 degrees , anyway i need to get this point right was what i have in mind , so I start my hunt for a directional compass( seen lot of it around in my school days). But i really can't find any chap one in Ibadan in the past week, in fact the only place i saw one , is in a shop they sell stuffs for surveyors , it cost me 9k  . All i want was just to nail this bird W3. at any cost. with the compass i have a very strong idea of the area to scan at my elevation. I think i can device a way to track this bird now without a compass , (using the sun rise position).will give that later if you so want , All i needed was just to confirm this dish positioning websites and software works , i know they do if u have the tools, can make the job a bit easier. All i did next was the usual, setting up my TV and receiver with my "satellite finder" friend attached too . All i did was a blind scan for the bird EUTELSAT W3a. and before i can say MOMOH , there was a loud noise on my friends mouth(satellite finder), so i smile knowing something is cooking,  . Then after about 10 minute of blind scanning , there it all was, lots of scrambled stations, but sure did get mbc3, mbc1,and mbs-scrambled. Anyway got confirmation from OLA, called him and he was watching BBc news then so i was tagged "GOOD"  , He asked me to allow the sky to clear up , since it has just finished raining where i am (Ibadan), and still raining in Lagos as at that time too. Today before i coming to my office , i checked and i have more stations on my screen, DIRECT 8, MSNBC,RTS1,MTA international,TV Malagasy, maybe 1 or 2 more , can't remember. Thats my success story for all to share with me , Thank you all . Now the problems am still having , whats so special about this W3?, man i think i need more action , more stations. I like movies, News and maybe a bit of sport. Really to be fear I just got hooked to this bird about 10:00pm last night and have only watched it for about and hour flipping trough the stations , will try and sit down and check out more of its programs, but maybe you can advice me more on what to scan for , it there is still any??? And again the signal for Tv malagasy , is very good , but when it comes to MSNBS, Direct 8, its kind of poor and shaky on the screen, what do u advice, turn some more?  Thank you all , Enitan was the first to Hear the news , that i got the bird, then my other good friend OLA. You are all wonderful here , Thank you , justx24 |

Hello Nairalanders. I am glad to be a member of this forum and i must confess that learning FTA from this thread is the best thing that has happened to me in recent time. Kudos to guruofsat, pitodenz, jujukemist and most especially Enigma for spending time on this tread to educate people like us. Please, keep it up. I just installed the FTA satellites last week saturday with the help of a tech. guy here in Abuja but out of curiousity i came online to see if i can get some codes to unlock some coded channels in my STRONG SRT 4653x decoder and BINGO!!!, the best site GOOGLE could direct me to is www.nairaland.com. I have been a member for almost 2 years now but i have never contributed to any of the threads. Enigma, thank u once again for being the most consistent person on this thread. I have read this thread from page 1 to page 30 and i must confess to you that u guys have really done a great job but i have some questions for u which i will be very happy if u respond to them. I have two dishes, 1 1.8m dish with 2 LNBFs and 1 90cm dish with 1 LNBF and my technical guy told me am connected to these satellites a. eutelsat,nilesat and ghana TV which enables me to get 0ver 300 free channels and some coded channels. I have all the DSTV and HITV channels with dollar sign before them (coded), showcinema 1,2,3,4, showshasha,showcomedy,JSC sports 3, all coded with dollar sign before them & a host of free channels raning from MBC Action, 1,2,3,4, NBA europe, GTV, RDV, STV1,STV2, Aljazeera news, BBC World, Fox News, FOX Movies,JSC sports 1&2, Trendsports, Trendseries, Nollywood, Dubai ONe, (all these are free) to mention but few. Now, my question are: 1. I have read about Firmware, Software, Softcam and Patches, please give me a link to the one that will work with my STRONG SRT 4653x decoder so as not to FRY my decoder as some people have warned. 2. How will i update my receiver with the Patch/Firmware/Software by the time i download it. My receiver has a USB slot. Please, i need a step-by-step Guideline on how to update the firmare. 3. And finally, after updating the Receiver, as i have read in this post that it will AutoUpdate and i will be able to view some channels that have been hacked like SHOWTIME and ART and if not, how will i go about using the codes i already have to unlock those channels. Thank you very much. God Bless Nigeria |

Very impressive stories here!!!! Guys have really been doing well, really throwing it down; and success stories with the more difficult W3A too; fantastic!!!
@ mygee
MyTV i.e Intelsat 7/10 is at 68.5e whereas W3A is at 7e. This means that, standing at the back of your dish, W3A will be to the right. You can try moving the dish by anything from about 6-12 inches (roughly) to the right, from the back of the dish.
PS Don't forget that the elevation has to be quite high, somewhere around 80 on the scale on the side/back of the dish; in other words the dish face has to be raised high.

@Azeezbaba For Strong software/patches, try the following sites: http://www.maldiviandigital.com/forum69/http://wizkid.persiangig.com/If you go back through the pages, some other links were posted by other guys. As for procedure, I haven't done a Strong receiver before but generally: - first you have to download a 'Loader' Programme (you may need to unzip or unrar it) - then you download the latest patch for your particular receiver (again maybe unzip/unrar) - then start up the Loader programme and in that programme select the patch and upload it to your receiver. I hope someone who has done a Strong receiver before will come along and give more/better info. |

@ justx24,
thats so cool, am really enjoying this forum more than ever.
The direction of the position of the W3A is a little to the right of DSTV position, when standing at the back of the dish, there have been a lot of conflict opinions on this, like pitodenz said his was a little to the left of DSTV, i guessed he's looking at it from the the postion the dish is facing. Whether Nrt, South, East or West, your North will always be North so likewise other directions on your magnetic compass, and that surprised me when he said his is a little to the left.
Stand at the back of the dish , and your W3A position is to the right of DSTv/MYTV
@ azeezbaba,
You welcome on board, but you still leave a confusing note about the channels you are watching, and i will try to analyse based on the number of lnbf and dish u said u have and the channels,
90cm dish with 1 lnb and showing HITV and DSTv, this definitely shows that you are on eutelsat W3A
1.8m dish with 2 lnbs, 1 lnb for Nilesat, and the other i think is NSS7 at 22W to be showing Ghana Tv.
Hope you are ok with that analysis?
@ all,
when i got my 1st decoder i was damned crazy about all these various software patches, but later when i became more knowing about satellite stuff, i completely removed my mind from it.
Thinks of it, what is the essence of patching your decoder when viewing W4, to hack DSTV? or 22W, to hack Canalsat Horizons? or 68.5E, to hack MYTV? it seems useless for me, and the decoder will be prone to start misbehaving if i load a patch that i think is right, just like someone said sometimes ago on this forum, i will really advise everyone who is on ku not to even try any patch, you've got to be contented with your reciever/decoder, so as to avoid any software damage.
@ all
Can we also paste the current price list of FTA accessories from various electronic markets like Aba, Alaba, Oshodi e.t.c, so to give any intrested buyer from this forum the idea of the price when purchasing them, viz:
55cm, 75cm, 90cm Dish
1.8m dish,
2.4m pan, fiber & mesh dish,
3.0m pan, fiber & mesh dish,
3.6m pan, fiber & mesh dish,
ku-lnbs_0.3dB to be precise e.g strong, fujitsu e.t.c,
C-band lnb,
Dual ku/c-band lnb, and the best brand top be purchased
Receivers, ranging from brand(strong, eurostar) to models(4652 STR, 4653X)
I think once this is done, it will go a long way to give us the hint the total cost of setting up any FTA system one want to install.
@ justx24,
more grease to your elbows, i think very soon, you will be better than most of us here because we all can see how dedicated you really are.
@ OLA,
looking forward to receiving your calls later tonight
@ tox9ja,ejike3,badaru1,enigma
Hope you are all kool?
@ mide2008,
thanks for that lovely piece of info, badaru told me about it on phone, that it's arranged, i will like to know how much that will cost me and can it stand on a pole higher than 2.0m because thats what i will be using, and do u know how much 2.4m pan dish will cost, i need that badly. Motorised? forget that, once i can just get a place for it to be placed and track nilesat i think i will be very ok with that.

90cm dish with 1 lnb and showing HITV and DSTv, this definitely shows that you are on eutelsat W3A @Enitan I'm sure you meant W4 at 36e; and I think you are right that Azeezbaba's other dish with 2 LNBs is probably receiving Nilesat (7w) and NSS7 (22w). You are also right that patches will not currently open a lot if anything (other than eTV which might even be FTA now anyway) easily receivable in West Africa for now. Showtime is usually the most useful but there are no public keys for the moment as far as I know; there have also not been keys for Canalsat for some time as I understand it. But as long as one is careful and follow right procedures, patching the receiver should not be a problem. |

@ptbs According to DSTV's website, TV Globo on Sesat is on a beam that does not ordinarily cover Nigeria though one never knows if a very large dish would do it. Also it is on Intelsat 7 but in C Band which again will require a large dish. See the link below and place your cursor on the beam information to the left of the map of Africa. http://www.dstv.com/channelshift/Channels/tvglobo.htmlEdited: however, TV Globo is also on Hispasat 30w (though encrypted); I think pitodenz may be able to advise if you can receive Hispasat in Port Harcourt. (Also, occasionally the keys for TV Globo on Hispasat and on Hotbird get known, though they don't last for long; if you want to subscribe to that one it will be through TV Cabo in Portugal - google it) |

@ enigma,
hey, thanks so much for that lovely correction, i meant W4.
Do you have any idea the number of satellites a 1.8m dish will track in lagos, apart from 68.5E, 64.2E and 66E and 22W?
I've called an installer to carry out an inspection on my site and i was devastated when he said i can't install 2.4m due to space problem that i can still go for 1.8m.
@ pitodenz,
you can also be of help based on my request and kindly give the whole house the price list of the accessoreies i mentioned earlier, because i know your an installer but this is my hobby, so u are in a better position to know the price.

@ W3A viewers, i think we all need to be patient withis free2view company because its llike they are getting theirself better just to give us all a well deserved package, i was just googling some info about them and i came across this link you can check it out. The company was just launched Jan 2008 and for them o have promised a total number of 36 stations, you should know they mean bussiness, if that can be achieved in the next 6 months, i will surely lose intrest in setting up the c-band here is the link: www.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/66/21180.html |

it is unfortunate that you don't have a space for 2.4m, it would have your best option. along with those satellite you have listed you can track 27.5W and 31.5W. You cannot receiver 66E in Nigeria but 62E that has channels like SABC 1,2,3, etv,nation and citizen tv the last two are from kenya. i will advice you face this channel for full unlimited entertainment. Since the dish is 1.8m the signal may be behaving funny, you can improve it by placing double di-electric in the your c band lnb. You can also face 64.2E their you have the Tanzania channels like ITV, pulse, Channel 10, EATV, Star TV, TVT, and Mozambique those are the one that can come on 1.8m. On this satellite you combine your ku lnb with it and you will receiver all the intelsat 7/10 68.5E KU channels. how i wish am in lagos to assist you. anyway i will assist with any information needed.

@ all
that am an installer dosnt mean that i can't off load my whole exprience in this forum.my problem is time factor,but am making arragement for internet in my house.i so much love this our forum so i believe i can give out any info to my guys out there.
@ enitan
if u want to install c band i think the best option is to go for 2.4m net dish because 2.4m pan dish ll be a little more expensive and heavier.plz note that net mesh dish cannot give anybody nilesat in south even if it is 6.0m net dish.because this net dish leak some percentage of signals it suppose to reflect back.though it might work for those in north because the signal is stronger there.
@ badaru
i tried the double di-electric yesterday in 2.4m dish.thankjs man it gave me what i ve been looking for.
this is the estimated prices for satellite accessories (this is not ph price but slightly lagos price)note that the prices may vary according to cities.
N.B.ph prices here is what they give us installers.God, see as i dey cast my runs,but i can do anything for u guys in this forum.
2.4m net dish 21,000 naira (25,000 in ph)
2.4m pan dish 24,000 naira (33,000 naira in ph because its heavy)
1.8m dish 9,000 naira (10500 for supermas and 12000 for strong in ph)
ku band lnb 800 naira
c band lnb 1,200 naira in north ( 2,000 here in ph) i don't know lagos price.
diseq switch(combiner) 500 here 350 in onitsha.
for fiber dish, 3.5m fiber dish with installation and complete equipment is above 100,000 in ph.
installation fees is agreement b/w una two.
i think ph is the most cost city in naija so with this info u can now go to your various market and cheek.

Mide2008,
I must confess that I really admire your ingenuity and that of justx24.I would love to hear from both of you before the week runs out on 08023337877.You are my latest pals.The thread is really growing.Mide,please call me because I need more info on the dish alignment problem,or better still send it through this thread.The ku-lnb is below the c on a motorised 2.4m wiremesh.the c-band is working but we have lost some stations such as nation,abc news on the east because of the disruption while I was adjusting the dish.I have confirmed that the receiver is in excellent condition at Vickoy's place.He also helped to load the frequencies on nss7 ku.Is anybody picking Ghana tv clearly on ku.a lot of people can't pick it.what could be wrong?On the di-electric,can two di-electric improve signals on the c-band.I discovered so many stations I had never seen on the c-band when the di-electric was removed(e.g. DDsports on pas 10,DSTV DMX on pas 10,Metro tv Ghana on intel707 west) but all the stations on intel 906/902 like sabc,e,nation,eatv disappeared.But when the di-electric was inserted back,they all came back with the newly discovered stations disappearing.How do I keep all of them?Do you enjoy the foxmovie channel on nilesat?Please call me asap.
justx24/all,
please join me on my Saturday night show 11.03pm-2am,Paramount fm94.5 since u are in Ibadan.
ola/enitan and all,
I may have to take a break from my busy schedule to host you in Abeokuta.let's see whhat would happen as I don't think I will be allowed by the various organisations I work for.Can you believe I have not taken any break in about 10 years!!

@ tox9ja
if u can't recieve nss 7ku and u re able to recieve nss 7c check your diseq switch number and if the dish is motorilize and u recieve other ku band why not use manual control in your positoner remote to track it if u can't get it then i think the dish is out of aligment.
N.B. any
dish motorilize should be able to pick the four ku band recievable in southern Nigeria.the most difficult should be the so called naughty bird w3a and the easiest should be nss 7ku.
@ enitan
if u don't have space then go for 1.8m dish i think the only difference is sabc and etv @ 62 degrees but u can still get every other stations.
@ one position u can use the new strong ku and c band combined its 5k here should be around 3500 in lagos use with one supermax c band lnb. u can get enough stations.theres no movie channel like fox movie or mbc movie in the entire c band so take note.68.5c ll only give u enough india station and 64 ll give u small entertainment.
if u want to fix your dish as i mentioned what u need do is to track 64 degree first then put the second lnb for 68.5 on top and adjust untill u get maximum signal.i ll post a pic later.
@ all
i didnt view my w3a from my front but form back i think am the only person able to get that bird at the left side of dstv n mytv and am still suprise because all i can see here in ph is still to the right.

@ tox9ja
i think installers here in ph re real bomb.in case of dd sport,metro tv ghana,all this is more of the reason ll use 3 lnb in motorilize dish here in ph.your problem can be solved only if u can be able to get an installer who can be able to align three lnbs together.(1 ku band and 2 c band 1 without di-electric plate) or u can still have a try on your own but constructing the lnb holder might give u a problem. i think its time a start posting pic here.

i know nilesat has the best fta we can reach but its still not beamed here.there re other sat better than nilesat like astra and hotbird and people still get them here.i think anything massive dish those not solve the problem of fta so me i think.

pitodenz,
On Senegal being able to pick nilesat with 90cm,I would want to doubt it.have you gone there to install nilesat?how about the double di-electric?
badaru/enigma,
please give your own opinion too.
mide2008,
we seem to have a lot in common on satellites.Can you believe I also had an ARABSAT analogue in the 90s?I'm looking forward to your call pal.

hi people,
can't remember if i asked this question earlier and i am currently too busy to go back and read through several pages of post but, while trying to install W3A, my installer used Amos1/2 the israeli bird to track it, then switched to eutelsat w3a after he had left and continued searching before i got the rest of the channels.
the point is i am getting most of the w3a channels on amos 1/2 (except Go Africa). initially i thot it was just because i was entering similar freq that it was doin that but the fact that go africa isn't working makes that rather impossible. anyone receiving w3a should please try and check this out and give me feedback ( remember i have a 1.8m dish faced towarrds nilesat and the w3a lnb is opp that of nss7). also my freq are all Vertical freq even though i know they should be \H.
does anyone have any explanation?

I trust u Enigma, Thank u once again for responding.
Enitan i also thank u for the clarification. You are right that i have Nilesat (7w) and NSS7 (22w) on the 1.8m dish and eutelsat on the 90cm dish.
I think i will go for the software patch because i want to be able to hook up to Showtime and canalsat whenever there are public keys for them.

Hello enigma and the others - I read this forum almost very day. Am interested in C band. I have a 1.8 meter dish and I want to put 2 c-band LNB to it so as to catch 68.5 and 64. Am happy that after three days of internet searching your forum has yet again answered my questions. kindly post pic on how you put the 2 band lnb on the 1.8 dish. ! believe in doing it myself just like l learn t the first time have since installed for three people and all because for you people out there. Again am in Zambia and wish my fellow Zambians to join in. @ptbs According to DSTV's website, TV Globo on Sesat is on a beam that does not ordinarily cover Nigeria though one never knows if a very large dish would do it. Also it is on Intelsat 7 but in C Band which again will require a large dish. See the link below and place your cursor on the beam information to the left of the map of Africa. http://www.dstv.com/channelshift/Channels/tvglobo.htmlEdited: however, TV Globo is also on Hispasat 30w (though encrypted); I think pitodenz may be able to advise if you can receive Hispasat in Port Harcourt. (Also, occasionally the keys for TV Globo on Hispasat and on Hotbird get known, though they don't last for long; if you want to subscribe to that one it will be through TV Cabo in Portugal - google it) |

@ Enigma and Enitan
THanks so much for clearing this. I ll the seaching the third time if I get home today. i wish this will be the last. i ll not that i am using the new strong 4536X or something. i hope it is still applicable.
@ I also encourage thei listing of assessory pricese here. As such we re able to get independent of the Ariaria and Alaba people. At least to the extent of price fixing. I ll still find out is obtainable in the local market here.
@ NN7 users
I give this RDV station the pass mark in terms of foothball. The show allmost any STAR match, satuday and sunday. Do you notice how the show double matches during Champions league. I am still wondering if i could get it better in W3a.
@ Pitodez
How are enjoying the W3a. Give us info on what u feel for now.

@ all,
I can see that this thread is getting hotter and more intresting by the day, thanks to all those who have contributed in one way or the other.
@ pitodenz,
thanks so much for posting that price list, thats very good of you and i'll say keep on doing the good works.
@ isomadtech,
i guessed tooks had spoken about you on this forum, and i will love to meet you, since you are a full-time installer i think your contributions will highly be appreciated.
@ tox9ja,
its very possible for senegalese to receive nilesat on 90cm because there's a large difference in latitude to those in the northern part of nigeria and since they can use 1.8m to track that, i can see the possiblity of 90cm to do the same in senegal
@ mygee33
Yeah, RDV is the super-bomb of NSS7, hope you are really enjoying that?
More replies to come later, got to finish my assignment will be back soon.
Thanks
