@ F_marshal am sorry for that i went for installation inside one village in Abia State and there was no mtn coverage there. But am back now. @ George Take heart bro cos everything is gonna be alright. @ adewest what i mean is that they might use smartcard just as hitv did in their early days.

@pito,
@adewest,
Thanks for the encouragement. I know all this wahala is now past and I can
now heave a sign of relief by the special grace of Almighty God.
Here is a pix of the lightning sphinx during installation with my electrician
doing justice to it at the roof top.

@luckiest,
You better go and ply your trade somewhere else because you're just wasting your
time here. You will NOT get any customers from us, I assure you. This tread is the official
free-to-air thread and not official PAY TV SUBSCRIPTION ADDICTS' thread. Most of us
here have been there, we know what they have to offer and we know how to get almost
all their packages for free. We DO NOT need your help in beating pay tv providers fees.
I think a word is enough!

@BUTONEDAY,
How far about that your 3m fibre? Those our guys are not through with it yet?

About your idea of trying another repairer for my starsat, I've discussed with
Dejsam and we both agreed that I should send it across to him in the North
maybe they will have a solution for it there.
Or, what do you think?

@all i heard that hi-rubbish has bought up the rights to show champions league. I hope it won't affect ait and others free to air tv.
@george-D, i really feel for u. Anyway keep up your good works.
@luckies or whatever you call yourself, get lost!

Hi Guys good to be back again,ve been a little busy for some time now, anyway for those of us that are watching Multitv always check on the joy sport channel any day there is a pre season match, i have seen a couple of games lately, i watched tottenham and barcelona yesterday and abt a couple of days ago i watched abt two of man utds pre season matches, mbc 3 mauritius airs some as well, Multi tv is really more tv fore free cheers, any info on strong's HD ?

@all >> I can't believe it dt it can take me 4 a long time to be back here. Well, I'm getting back to my foot ds time around. A million thanks to those who hv kept d forum lively. We'll rock Part 4 altogether. Happy week-end and my rgds to all.

@ olofofo whatup with the mpe4 receiver. @ all anybody who can get access to a very cheap mpe4 receiver probably from china should plz contact me. Note it mustnt ve any good feature like blindscan,patchable just as long as it can open multitv. I ve a lot of demand on it. Remember it got to be very cheap. If u can, lets do business!

@George_D,
It is not a bad idea to send it to the north for repairs. There may be other defective receivers there where some parts could be removed to carry out repairs on yours.
I am sure you won,t have any more damage of your home electronics by lightening. from your explanation and the photo, I think it will be ok. the financial implication is that you have to defer some projects.
The 3m fibre dish has been completed. I will collect for test next week. Also, the 4m pan-galvanised dish will be completed next week. So i will be having two dishes for test.

@George,

I hope its not coming too late.  Please accept my sympathy on the loss of your FTA equipment to the infamous thunder. I pray that God will replace it with better ones.  I believe you will rise above it.  We have learn from it and hope to fortify ours too.

Cheers.

all,
from what I read on MultiTV's home page,I dont see them going scrambled for long.All they want to sell is their box which can be bypassed by getting the mpeg4 receiver.I am impressed with the line-up on Joy sports.Are they going for European leagues when the season resumes?Pls let's keep a close tab on Strong for the HD receiver.I am in for it.
Can we get regular pre-season schedules/stations please?

@all. Strong Technologies gave me one of their contacts at Abuja Office.Here is his reply as regards the MPEG4 receiver:
Mr. Blexxonmak ,

The model SRT4900/4910 will be available very soon in Nigeria and I will provide you its price upon availability. Hopefully in a month time.

Which satellite you want to use this model for?Please provide the list of channels that are MPEG 4 and HD

All,I'm in need of an MPEG4 receaver for a very good price,must have blind scane.I have strong 4652 and 4663,if I can't get a new mpeg4 for out right buy,I can still trade the 4663x for an mpeg4.here's my contact-iogbonna85@gmail.com or 08037190436.

@ george_d
i have a free view box of sky uk i dont know if i can get signals for it here in nigeria? and type of dish do i need?

@SKYLOLO,sky uk is on EUROBIRD1 @28.5 deg east.Yes receivable in Nigeria but ur loc is imp 2 determine dish seize.

@BUTONEDAY,
No wahala. That sphinx you're seeing in that picture is connected to 4 earth rods
buried 4 ft deep underground via pure copper belt. I think there will be no shaking
from now on no matter the type of magic thunder that strikes.

@baba_egun,
Thanks for reaching out. The Lord has intervened and I'm now on top of the situation.

@skylolo112,
Looks like adewest has answered your inquiries concerning sky UK.
Since you're in Lagos, why not try a 3m fibre and see if you could get their signals?

@ All
I still cant get mbc steady with my 2.4m eurostar dish here in ph. So i set for work yesterday and could not get it beyond 35% with old strong so i tried eurobird 2 @ 25.5, there i got only three channels free,they re cnn,mvarabia and boomerang, all other channels re scrambled. Is orbit network hacked in any of the jujucard? I need answer.
Now am alternating between badr and eurobird2 which means i ve to outside and move the dish down any time i want to watch fox movies. Am using shop 0.2db ku lnb with 2.4m eurostar ground mount dish. Any idea how i ll increase my signal?

All watch out for Man Utd vs Hangzhou Greentown match.Today around 3pm

All watchout for Man Utd vs Hangzhou Greentown today on MBC3 W3a,KO 3pm

@all
Any new patch for Mytv?

All watch Liverpool vs Singapore live on mbc3 on w3a,enjoy

hello every one, live matches on joy tv , man utd vs hz china 1pm right now  score line is( china 0 man utd 1)

@pitodenz,
I think the continuous rain this period is contributing to the poor signal quality of nilesat.
Again, that your 0.2db lnb could only be as good as a 0.3db fuji so why not try one and see?
Concerning the ground mount, you could construct a neck for that your Eurostar dish and use
a jack to move it thereby saving yourself the stress of moving outside every time to change
the position especially in this cold weather.
For abra and coco cards, I don't know when last they did updates for orbit. Seems they're just
concentrating only on SHT & ART these days but maybe Dejsam can give us a better picture.

@salamandar,
There is no new mytv update yet.

To All Of You
I will like congratulate you all for the dedication you have all shown towards this forum. I have been around a few forums and believe me, none of them measure up to what we have here.
I will like to think that this forum is the forum to join or refer to on matters FTA. With respect to mpeg 4 receivers, it seems to me that the strong option is the way to go. Strong receivers are user friendly and have technical support in this country.
Mr. moderator, George D, Dejsam, olofofo , toxnaija, emexi, adewest, pitodenz and a host of the guys that i haven't mentioned . You guys keep it up. It seems to me that we are making good progress. Muchos Gracias.
