ALL
PLEASE I HAVE A SKYHD DRX595 BOX, IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY OF CONVERTING IT TO FTA. PLEASE KINDLY ADVICE
The intelligent box may not allow you to use it!it only accepts few symbol rates 22000/27500/29500 so no feed haunting,the box will need NIT search to update channel list,that means if you have poor or no satellite signal from bad whether,there won't be any channel list!if you manually input frequency to scan channel,the box will scan channel,but you may not see any channel list,if you are connected to 28east!the box will use NIT to update channel list, since you don't have sky+ subscription, the box is now good for freesat @28east and you may need a bigger antenna for this !since you are not connected to internet and no sky+ subscription some features will not work,you cannot record any programme and fast forward and rewind buttons will not function!the box can only be good for astra free to view UK!

so then its better to go for nilesat than badr right,if i understand you?nilesat is much more easy to track than badr right
Nilesat is more easy to track even Hotbird!badr is going empty! nilesat is better with add/adtv/orbit showtime.

so what ur saying is if someone can track badr from the south or from the east,then one can track nilesat easly

So i decided to bite the bullet and order a multi-Lnb holder from Ali Express.

i ordered this one: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Multi-Feed-LNB-Holder-hold-up-to-5-ku-band-LNBs-FTA-5-LNB-Holder-Free/459948557.html

cost $18.

(it appears there are even better ones. but i didnt see them until later. maybe they were not stocked before)

I chose free shipping because i didn't wanna risk ma money grin grin grin

Ordered on November 7, 2014

today 21 November, i got a text from the post office to come pick it up. (They charged me 500 naira, i still don't understand why sha. i collected receipt though grin grin grin)


No packaging and manual tho. i had to use my number 6 to couple it

Pictures..

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by 4llerbuntu(m): 4:45pm On Nov 21, 2014
quality is not great TBH, but it should serve its purpose.

In all it cost me about 3,800 naira which i think is ok, especially because my attempts at fabricating one was costing me close to 8k!!


Anyone with a picture of Multi-LNB setup using a holder should please post it. i used to see a labelled one sometime ago on NL.......



this is potentially 5 LNBs

More stations on Astra 28.2E. Tp is 11675H30001. There are abt 25 stations avaliable. Most of them still on demo broadcast but sunshine and R2TV are up with programs. Hopefully more stations will start up fully before the month runs out. Enjoy.

Heard that HiTv is back, someone should help us find out if they have some free stuff before we buy their decoder.
