F-Marshal,
it is nice to hear from you again on the forum after almost one year.i wanted to ask Enitan if he has done a intimacy change.i think it is either a trick to catch his fishes or he is no longer straight/or was never straight!

Enitan,
i hope your dish no go fall on top of that backyard building.pls put a warning sign there especially when the weather becomes stormy.hope baba ijebu no go complain sha!

Olason,
i wish i was in Naija to grab the box too.how does it work?can the signal be received nationwide?i just cant understand how it could work without an antenna or dish outside.pls explain.how is baby?him for don grow tall reach me sef!

Moderator,
still no explanation on why my post on CTL/NBC court latest report was removed.it is discouraging.it is like telling some of us our contributions are not valued.pls let me no my offence over the issue.

Hey Tox!! Good to read from you too. How obodo oyinbo (Britain) nah? Na u dey enjoy o! Are you getting used to the usually COLD weather? U don see how lonely and homesick it can be over there?   Any luck practicing your FTA hobby over there?   When is you programme over?

all,
yesterday was my birthday, went to the office briefly, back home early, i was at the roof top from 6pm till 11:30pm, though my wife was mad at me expecting that i would be with her and our 2 weeks old baby boy so that we can have fun throughout the day, but i was able to put into use all i learnt from here.i was able to nail sirius and w3a with 1m dish.thanks all,
The installer guy that use to do all of the installation for me at 5k per visit could not believe it, i can now say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to myself

Sholasong, first of all let me say Happy B'Day!!! This is what FTA is all about. Come to the forum, learn all you can learn and then put it to practice. Finally, make the old greedy installer feel, oh well, like a thief and small!!! Congratulations, and N5000 well saved!!!

Microgaint, bros in fta no pain no gain. most of us here on this forum hav spent thousands of naira on fta equipment, especialy on receivers. when echolink and d rest came out we al had our doubt but some of us including me stil went ahead and bought it. what happened nex is history i guess. What about g+ people said it wil not last, it is stil working til today. A truely fta hobbist would neva stop experimenting, and would always prepare his mind 4d worst. like Enitan said enyoy while it last. na today I beg leave matter.

Enibaba, oops I thought, . .thank u jare. would u blieve dat because of w2a somebody ordered humax box frm USA ,to him it does not matter if d signal is encripted 2day or 2morr, wat matters 2 him as an fta hobbist is d joy and pleasure he derives at d moment frm it and any other thing is secondary. nothing last 4eva

objack ,
do u stay around ojota side very close to a house painted green,i think i saw your dish while on the bridge that leads to oworo side.These pictures of your is the dish is saw around that side.i might be of help.i saw the dish facing up and i told my driver what sat is available at that 0 degree .i told my driver this dish is at o degree.

All, for those wanting to track w2a with mpeg 2 decorder, usd this freq 3867v 13322. u wil get Afri21,2,3 with picture. on d screen u wil c Eurovision. u can now switch 2 mpeg 4 to get d rest.

@ Enigma,
happy birthday to a wonderful mate that is sharing same birthday date as I.

Souhaitant joyeux moi bon anniversaire, wishing myself a happy birthday.

Enitan my "sake" (shared birthday), many many happy returns, long life and prosperity and conquering of Nilesat and others

When next I'm in Naija, we'll see if we can arrange to meet.

olason, my brother thank you very plentiful; you are one of the guys whose setup I'd like to see; if I remember correctly, you were one of the first (if not the very first) who, in Season 1, made us realise that Hotbird etc are possible in Lagos/Southern Nigeria.

Happy birthday to E², Enibaba and Enigma

@Obnelly,

My brother you are very correct that is my dish. My house is very visible from the Bridge.

I have not been able to get internet access since morning.

Thanks.

@Ibaku, Enitan and all,

Thanks for the reassurance on tracking nilesat. I hope to give it a shot tonight.

Thanks again.

Enigma/Enitan,
Congratulations on your birthday.I wish you more success and joy in all your endeavours.it is an irony that you are sharing the day with the most villified and the most respected Nigerians OBJ and AWO respectively.which one did you take after ?
Enigma,where and when do we meet for the celebration?

F-Marshal,
thanks for your post.it is a crazy weather here now.Spring is here.It gets really sunny and chilly in the day!it could be very lonely when you are here alone studying.i still have a minimum of 3years of research but i will touch naija at the beginning of the second half of the year.no fta for now.i do live internet streaming for my matches not on terrestial tv.

FA cup live on one of the Sirus feeds Now.
Portmouth vs Birmingham city.

@objack,
In FTA, never say never. From what I see of your pictures, it may still be possible to hit nilesat but of course you'll nevr know unless you experiment. Since your still starting out on this terrain, it will be helpful if you have a more experienced person by your side. You can team up with obnelly who has promised to help or better still get a fairly knowlegeable installer and work with him. You'll do the directing-based on your wealth of experience while he does the dish settings. Observe how he does it carefully because you'll never need to call on him again. Strange but sometimes we find uses for these guys-as much as we try to avoid them. But they only come once and they don't have any business from us anymore.

@BUTONEDAY,
@pitodenz,

I did some remediation work on my nilesat dish this morning and men! I am getting gear one, nat geo abu dhabi, aljazeera children (12226h) up to 51%-no cracking at all! CNN is game at 56% quality! For the first time I am recieving LBC EU (12303h) though cracking at 49%. This my dish won't cease to amaze me ooooo!

Ahhh!
Good tidings good peeps. Happy B'day to Ghana, today being her 53rd b'day and to all GH FTA members, also, to the faithful members of this house celebrating 'em b'day today.

@ all hey guys, ive been out of internet for a while, i'm doing dis from a cafe now, good to be back
@ i made a big mistake by altering my lnb which ive not been tampering with since my engr fixed it. i av joined dis forum for a while now and trying to do things on my own only to lose my w3a (mbc and co). since then, ive tried and tried, no signal is all i see. pls help, i read the threads on w2a but i just want to fix my mbc before dambling into a new one cos i'm sure it's still available on air. if want to use my hitv decoder now if possible. pls help

@oliss,
Unless you also tampered with the bolts and nuts for adjusting the elevation and dish azimuth, if not then your dish alignment should still be perfectly ok. And, if your lnb is STRONG KU, all you need do is while the dish is facing upwards (in its normal w3a position) set the lnb at 9 o' clock position and you'll be fine.

@sathob,
Good write up there. Where's the url to the petition page?

@sathob,

same question from me

@ GEORGE D and all gurus here, in my house i have 53x,69x,Daarsat box,i also have 2.4m comstar dish i.e the black net,also 90cm pan for mytv,i am trying hard to install free to air channels by myself without engineers because i am staying far from lagos and where the experts and gurus of this forum cant assist me easily (NSUKKA.)and i want to at least one day make my own satellite research and post it here,MY QUESTION NOW IS,WHERE IS THE LOCATION OF W2A,AND SIRIUS LOCATION TOO,ARE THEY ALL KU BAND AND WHAT SIZE OF DISH CAN SHOOT THIS BIRD.last time i install W3a and multi tv by myself through the direction of sammu, i appreciate you

Enigma, u are welcome! @All, I was about posting dat Arsenal vs burnley live on sirius b4 it was yanked off, thank God is back again. enyoy while it last.

@Sun-sat,
Sirius 4 is a fully ku band satellite and is located @4.8E a little bit from w3a which you have already tracked. Using w3a as point of reference, you only need to move your dish a little up to the right while the dish is still facing up in that position. Use the globecast tp (12605v, 29950sr) and make sure your lnb is at 9 0'clock position.

For w2a, the beam of interest presently is a c-band global beam and is almost the same position with w3a which is ku. Use this mpeg2 tp to track (3865r, 13333sr). Your c-band lnb must have a di-electric plate inside and you must position it at 2 0'clock facing the dish, facing west before you start tracking.

For dish sizes, a minimum size of 65cm can get sirius 4 while 1.8m will recieve w2a c band. Try to use supermax extended c-band lnb for the w2a for easy tracking even though STRONG c band can also give you the signals. Remember you will need an mpeg 4 decoder like daarbox or strong 4669x to enjoy the w2a channels. Best of luck!

@Olason

I got your number. Will call you.
