@freshp
The TP 3.931V/5.799, I dont know of it on Int 905. But seeing the low signal quality of 11%, I suspect the CNN tp on NSS7C 22W, close to Int 905. Same frequency, but SR different. It could be a "side band" effect, but Im sure the Gurus of the House would give us better idea of what it is.
Enjoy

@All: hey everybody, its been a while since my last useful contribution though i still dey try read summary of wetin dey go on for here every now and than. Its like 1am and i just descended from the roof where i went to refresh the small FTA tracking wey i learn from here. I actually hoped to hit W3A with a 40 cm tonguesmiley) but even the gods of FTA wey dey reward hardwork and persistence no dey do partial. That is to say if ur dish no big reach no bother cheesy E for sweet me well well if i get am o. Finally went to W4/7 and settled for the CCTV news and NTV which seems to be interesting. I was unable to get the Nolly channels and SABC that are supposed to be on Sirus4, shey dem don close abi wetin?

keep the FTA flag flying

Re: Official Thread Of Free To Air Satellite Tv (part 4) by borderline(m): 6:13am On Jun 03, 2010
@jaki006
predictably,questions on how to track w3a were going to be pouring from you but you need to understand not too many people here would fancy replying those query as w3a has been extensively treated throughout this thread.read the ew3a thread & would find better joy there.

Try changing the polarity, this works sometimes. after hitting the bird, change to the SABC frequency and continue skewing your lnb in small increments, also change the polarity from V to H or vice versa.

@TOWNJUJU

I don't have much free time, that was why I wanted to know what you have on ground, i.e dish-90cm, if pole or roof mount it should be fixed already, remember the pole should be vertically straight possibly get a plumb or plumber to assist you to make sure it's straight up.

@ George
i am fine.i just need to ask u if u hv come across this TP(3931 v 6789) on INTEL 905 @ 24.5 deg w its popping green @11%.i did evrything to improve d quality.but no show.i wil post d pix later (phone browsing no allow me 4 now)

Ok i later got to use a PC and here is the pix, i had to use another sat b'cos '69x has no intel 905 amongst is satellite.

@freshp,
There is no NTA station on Intesat 905 presently. What your having could just be a feed or perhaps they're now trying to migrate to that bird.

Re: Official Thread Of Free To Air Satellite Tv (part 4) by zambeat(m): 8:56am On Jun 03, 2010
@microgiant.will try to do just that.viva fta!!!!
Re: Official Thread Of Free To Air Satellite Tv (part 4) by GeorgeD1(m): 9:00am On Jun 03, 2010
@Hotwire,
Its no taboo to post links on genuine patches here but what do you want to patch your 69x for?
If its not giving you any trouble of sorts I'd advise you leave it as it is. Don't try and fix something
that doesn't need mending!

@spaceman,
Homage accepted. It's been a while. You don return from your travel? smiley
Re: Official Thread Of Free To Air Satellite Tv (part 4) by chuk101(m): 9:07am On Jun 03, 2010
@oga george D good day, actually there are two or say 3 nta channels on that bird,it might be a feed but it has been steady, i do not have the frequency right now, but in order to get those channels , you can google it up by geting the freq of ortm malior rtb burkina faso, once u do that , simply blind scan and the nta would pop up.
have a nice day

you can use this signal, try skewing the lnb till you get the highest signal. note: the signal for the church channels may reduce

@Hotwire,
If your 69x is not having issues then I'll advise you leave it alone. Patching it will not increase the number of channels
you can watch for free at present.
Re: Official Thread Of Free To Air Satellite Tv (part 4) by Hotwire(m): 11:41am On Jun 03, 2010
@George D

I tried your 0807xxxxx84 line now but it has been switched off. OK no patches for me Guru. But I am hungry for more channels. Give me access to Background Annoucements.
