I thought you already knew that before coming here to ask about 16 degree east. Or Where you expecting 16 degree east to just pop up on your decoder by just inputting the frequency?

Going back to your previous post and looking at this your last question makes me wonder what you really want.
hahaha...funny. It seems he is a newbie

Yes. But the signals will be badly reduced. For me Multi TV/ Badr for MBC is a must to be Primary. If you make Nigcomsat Primary anything you attached to the set up will have huge loss of signal quality.

this is so cos I get low signal for joytv as secondary on my nigcomsat set up(60cm dish though)

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by goaldynboy: 11:32pm On Oct 06, 2020
Good evening gurus in the house. Please I need your urgent advice and direction.

First day I attempt to add MBC @7west in my dish that already have 3W as primary and 5e & 7e as secondary, using 11559v27500, but I did not succeed.

Second day I tried again to get the MBC @7west and didn't get it again. But I got Hi-Impact and other Tunisian & Arabic channels totalling 13 channels with these transponders 11030v05000 & 11658v27500. Also, I used brand new strong lnb. See the attached picture.

My question is: What else can I do to get this elusive MBC @7°West?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Morning guys. I know this is FTA room but would like to know if anyone has the idea if DSTV will air Europa champions league this season. If not, what can I go for?

Very very much available. However, do remember that your decoder has to be H.265 compatible

Don't know the brand of receiver your using but if its strong then your signal on 11658V27500 shouldn't be below 70% else 11559V27500 wouldn't pop up

Greetings everyone!
This wonderful forum has enlighten a lot of us and everyone is very much appreciated.. now the subject of helping one (especially a newbie) to track a satellite is quite an experience.. Remember the forum enables you to get the information and contact...after that you need to go on mobile phone because, in tracking , you may have to say, ..move down, move right slowly..skew lnb etc. This will shorten the time of tracking and ease the repetition of topics.whatsapp can also help the newbie go faster in tracking.

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Nobody: 9:37am On Oct 07, 2020
Folks, another way of easing your KU band tracking on prime focus dish (1m, 1.8m),is to move the focal point away from the center.. get a 6inch bar and attache it to the feedhorn(c band) and attache the KU lnb.. this normally gives optimal signal if your lnb is not that powerful
Also remember you can use this method to tilt your dish so water does not collect on the dish yet receive the same signal...note length of bar could be increased (ie 6inch to 1foot+)

Sorry bro. From my experience in tracking sometimes it is the FEC that could be the problem. We are too quick to use AUTO as FEC. They have FEC of 2/3, 4/5 etc. Secondly it is the polarization. If you are given a polarization of H, and you've tried without success, nothing stops you from using V. This has worked most times for me. And finally, your LNBF position.

Maybe showing the house an image of your installation as well as the surrounding. Might help us notice something you might not really take note of. Because it still amaze me how something that simple will elude you for weeks

Bro, I'm so sorry for that.

But why would a mod be banning people discussing satellite matter in a satellite thread?
