@ Adewest

What  Brand (Manufacturer) of decoder is Multi TV using, and why do you think it going  be a pay TV ?   From  their promo it is clearly stated free to air.

@Iwes, did u know how much it cost 2air txn on a particular TP OF A SAT per day.Don't just get addicted to it.

iwes:

@Kungu

Thanks for the info. Please can you give me the list of channels (Dvb s2) , their frequency, and symbol rating on Intelsat 902 C -band. I checked Tracksat ,flysat and Lyngsat, but this information is not there

Good morning Iwes,

The channels under Dvb-S2 on intelsat 902 c a band are,
Frequency 3816 H { L }4213 which has 2 channels NTV and EATN Both channels are in Kenya.
frequency 4026 H 9034 has the new channels from South africa awaiting official on their Dtt platform.
SABC 1
SABC 2
SABC 3
SABC ENTERTAINMENT
SABC SPORTS
SABC INTERNATIONAL
SABC EDUCATION
ETV
ETV CLASSIC Plus another 9 channels being offered by Dstv which will be under Nagravison Encryptions.

Also on Intelsat 802 Ku band we have Angolan channels also awaitng the Launch of their DTT platform.
Freq: 11037 H 22498
TPA1
TPA2
PTPA
RTPI
RECORD TV
PROMO CH
COMMERCIAL CHANNEL
BAND INTERNATIONAL
QTV
TV ZIMBO
WOOHOO
BAND NEWS
TV BRAZIL
DISCOVERY
DISCOVERY
KIDS
MGM.

So when you go for a Mpeg 4 Receiver go for a receiver which also has DVB_S2 or you will have to upgrade your receiver again in the near future.
Daarsat is getting most of their channels from Telstar 10 c band frequency 3840
H 27500 RRsat http://www.lyngsat.com/t10.html and also thaicom 2/5 c band frequency 3450 H 13333 http://www.lyngsat.com/thai78.html
The Strong Srt 4910 HD is patchable and you can get all updates from either
http://www.crosat.org/upload/index.php?&direction=0&order=mod&directory=Strong%20Receivers/Strong%20WIZKID%20Files/Strong%204%20Middle%20East
orhttp://www.crosat.org/upload/index.php?&direction=0&order=mod&directory=Strong%20Receivers/Strong%20WIZKID%20Files/Strong%204%20Africa

So for all looking for a mpeg for make sure the hardware is also Dvb-S2. The system allows transmission of one or more MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 audio–video streams, using QPSK or 8PSK or 16/32APSK (amplitude and phase shift keying) modulation with concatenated encoding.

Have a very blessed weekend

pitodenz:

@ Bubben Is it not better to ask our members in Ghana to investigate the receiver and if it has what it takes then u may go ahead. Blackstar and others we re waiting for ur report.

@ pitodenz
i tried getting info on the features of the MultiTV decoder from a dealer but the guy did not seem
to know much about blind scan, patching etc. I could not get to browse through the menu of the decoder
to verify myself cos he had none in stock. he will replenish his stock by monday, i will be able to find out then.
If i am able to lay my hands on one @ the weekend, i will definately let the house know . Thanks

Good info from arabsat for the new bird that will replace arabsat 2b, if things go well Badr 5A will be lunched before the end of this year and it will have the hemi beam covering the whole Africa continent with Cband, hope Badr 5A will have interesting tv stations; for further info:http://www.nabanet.com/wbuarea/ or arabsat.com.
There is no more signal from Pentagone channel on Intelsat 10-02, someone else is picking that tv with this transponder:4175V 28000?

@ blexxonmak
thanks bro, I appreciate the help may God bless you
@ George D
thanks a lot  I've read the write up on page 11 I even printed  it out so as to make it handy while working. as in getting someone to assist what if i cant get a satellite knowledgeable person can I give it a try. Also the issue of the 2.4m Can I know the price of the strong dish, but Due to cash restrain I hope I can still buy the fibre offered to me at 12k to manage for now,what do you think seek your kind opinion

@all. For those interested in acquiring MPEG4 receiver,I have sent a mail
to Strong in this regard.Here is there response:

Hello,


Thanks for your email.

Yes there is HD MPEG-4 DVB-S2 receiver STRONG branded model is SRT4900.

Unit is available in stock. Kindly check with the STRONG company located in Abuja/Nigeria.

solo1ng1:

@Dejsam,
Thank man.
Please will the HITV dish work with the strong decoder? How much does the strong decoder cost and where can i buy one.
thanks for your help.

@solo1ng1. There is nothing like HITV or DSTV dish.It is just a matter of
labelling.For example,you can buy a 90cm dish and put DSTV label on it.
I think most dishes labelled HITV are 60cm.TO be able to access W3A and SIRIUS you may need a 90cm dish.Go for the ones labelled EUROSTAR or STRONG.Cheers.

@ all

Just confirming what blexxonmak said about the MPEG 4 decoders. My contact at strong ghana said they will have them in stock by August end. Not sure of the price currently but says it is patchable and also DVB-S2 compatible.

Thanks

@ adewest i dont believe with u that multitv ll go encryption. If u may remember sometime ago in this forum when someone was asking if we got an association of installers in Nigeria. I believe this multitv got something to do with it. Ok lets look at middle east where channels like cnn,bbc,fox movies and series,neckledon,nat geo and many more world class channels re free. Are this channels not been host in the air or do u think as many use to think that its their government? Nope,later they generate enough money from advert. Take etv for instance,if etv is not making enough money do u think they shouldnt ve not joined dstv or upgrade their encryption. What multitv might do maybe because of african mentality is to customize their signal to their box only,but even that ll require a smartcard. Even if they do so, i still dont think they ll go for monthly subscribtion. So even on that they re still free(free forever) as they say.

Good day to you all.

I will like to use this medium to give kudos to all of you in the forum for the wonderful job you guys are doing for your neighbours. I have been able to benefit from you all in one way or the other.

Actually , I am a new user of this forum. I really don't know how it works. But with what am able to see through Google search when I was trying to search for any free to air station I found your past post chat with this topic "official Thread of free to air satellite TV (Part 1)".

I will like to appreciate the good job from Mr./MST. Twintaiye god will always be with you.

Thank you ALL

@all
i want to ask if i can get skysport uk here in nigeria
i have the patch card but i want to know on which frequency i can watch it and if it is possible

@BUTONEDAY,
Bros, i finally did the lightning arrestor installation today. I needed to suspend
a few other things and give special priority to it especially with the level of
destruction that magic thunder did to my installations. Delay would have been
very dangerous. But na wao! It was not easy cost wise o! My electrician advised
we used 4 earth rods and the usual pure copper belt and bracket buried 4 feet
deep underground. Na real heavy duty job the man do here o!
Tomorrow, I'll move on to the motorized COMSTAR and see what i can achieve
there too.

@oga twinataiye,
@toxnaija,
Thanks for the word of encouragement. I believe with the steps I've take so far,
this unfortunate incident will be a thing of the past.

@ Kungu

Thanks.

@ Raw-unkat

Symbol Rating :- 19519

@George_D
Sir, You gona have to leave the diSeq out and cross check the decoder.
N.B
there are two way lightening ,. Either it stuck the power or Main Board program IC! So i hope its power.
There's only one way to figure it out. Which is by testing both power and the main board. And it could be done if only you have same model of that decoder. By interchanging the faulty one with working one.  

@niddle_9,
Thanks for the advice. I checked and interchanged the decoder with a functional one and
it returned same results. Tomorrow, I'll go outside and have a look at the diseqc switch on
the COMSTAR dish. Lets see what will come up.

@osef,
You can try your hands on the installation yourself. I was only advising that it's better to work in pairs
because of the weight of the dish. Strong 2.4m pan should be about 24K but if your getting a used fibre
of same size for 12K I think it's a good bargain. But make sure the dish is not warped else you may not be
able to achieve much with it. Also, you may need to carry out some maintenance on it like repainting, etc
before usage.

@George salute 2u & hard luck man.@Pito,i guess u might b right on multil tv been air free.But u know d DTH svc provid

provider in Africa these day r growing day b day so as d competetion also increases.So u never can tell what a growing

child is upto.& on d issue NILESAT,d entire of mid-east owned d entire sat not Europe so think of d cost of d ch dwnlink

PITO-Emagine urself what a wonderful esperience it would have been 4Africa in term of FTA if NIGCOMSAT2 was successful.

I could remeber in earlier 1994 when nilesat was just growing,neally all d channels that r scrambled today were free

PITO,Can't get u well on sat signal customised.No provider can customis any dwnlink signal 4 a particular receiver bros

@ALL,4 a robustfull viewing go for HD-S2 ECHOLINK 7020 HD. It also embedded with d ABRACADABRA CARD 4 ali-chips.PEACE

@ Pitodenz,
Please, check your listed email accounts. I tried your listed phone line numerous times on Thursday and Friday, July 22 & 23,  but for some reason recording says your line was not available.
