@ george/pitodenz,

I have 14 DSTV decoders connected toa single dish. and each decoders have access cards that are paid for. SO for each decoder, there is a channel it is permanently tuned to and an RF channel is allocated for it.

The problem with this connection is that it is not all the 14 decoders that are connected together, like we have 5 decoders, 5 decoders and 4 decoders. so that is to say that not all offices connected to this setup have the same number of channels. the channels they have vary.

So the option i have for them is that, it will be better for one to have a RF modulator (just like what you and pitodenz discussed some while back) so that all the 14 decoders with 14 diffrent stations on different RF channel can be looped into it, and  the RF modulator single output can be splitted out to different offices. With this connection, one is rest assured that all offices will have access to the same number of channels.

I need you inputs in this, looking forward to reading your reply


I will post pictures later on

@ gurus, an installa told me one can get c band stations using c band lnb wit 90cm dish.though a fellow in d house 1ce said it's possible to nail viasat 1 using 90cm bt d installa mentioned cctv and 2 other stations.pls gurus i need clarifications.i want to knw if dy both belong dsame bird or are different.i stand to be corrected.thanks gurus.

Guys am so hapy am getin dstv fri wit ma astra decoder, d first decoder dat was use 4 fta.d bird was around Intel 902/c am enjoyin ma analog decoder.

is that a lesson

There are somethings you don't post in forums even though it's good for members especially FTB secrets.  I don't know why Nigerians are so carried away with any knowledge they come across, what is meant to be shared discretely will be in the open freely and sold openly in the streets.  Don't You know that in places where there is law enforcement, the admin can be sued? In USA even users of FTA Stbs have been arrested and such stbs confiscated!  Be wise 

The Mod can give him back his posting privileges without allowing the offending posts.

preparing for the Xmass,I wish every person here a merry Xmass and hoping for better/FTA new year.

@ Hopitinto and all 2m is now in nss 7c , tp 3.644 v 27.497
@ George _D , the supermax lnb is da bomb, thanks alot as for the other lnb i am yet to buy it but will soon. But when i do, i will like to know the best way to fix both c and ku lnb to work together, please enlighten me as God will continue to bless you the more. Let me go back to see if i can track intelsat 901 & 902.
@ Enitan 2002 , thanks for being there hope to become your real pal if you let me in
@ all thanks for being you, you all are more than enough and for those who i have not been able to appreciate by name individual please forgive me. I love you all and i wish you all a beautiful xmas.

The answer to your question is a Yes & No! It is true that you can receive the strongest transponders on a C-Band satellite using a 90cm to 120cm (Mini-BUD), but the weak transponders will not be able to come in. The truth is that this kind of setup is for experimental pet project purposes, but will not fulfill the need to get a bigger dish to receive all C-band signals. So, if your looking to use the 90CM as a replacement for the 1.8m and above size BUDs, you'll be disappointed, but if you're just experimenting and having fun, you'll be pleasantly happy with your results. I had earlier posted my summer C-Band Mini-BUD project here on page 30.


BTW, guys! Happy Christmas and a Better New Year!

@enitan2002,
You are on the right track as pito just finished executing a project of similar nature and I'm sure he will have much material to help you with. Definitely though you will need rf modulators for proper seperation of the signals as the normal rf output of the recievers cannot achieve what you want.

@spaceman,
Seasons greetings to you. How was your trip back to naija?

@Kcbenjamin,
You will need a 3-in-1 lnb holder. You can construct it out of a normal supermax lnb scaler. All it needs is a little ingenuity. Check out the pix of my COMSTAR installation:

@ George D
My brother story chnage o
On getting to Copenhagen a/port, some connecting flights were cancelled, flight to Amsterdam was disrupted due to the heavy snowfall in this region. Going to Amsterdam was not much the problem, but there was no point going to Amsterdam and be stranded under the snow. serious commotion at the a/port.
I was forced to reschedule for 24th since I could not get any connecting route, hoping that snow no go stop man.
Man the cold no be small o. i no wan die here.
Anyway thanks for your concern.Keep the flag flying.

@MR.GEORGE-D
I am very much happy to have finally joined this great forum.I have been following the professional instructions you & other members give out & i will say that,thanks to all of you,i can input tp's & track stations from inside my house by simply motorising & positioning where i hit green,

@MR GEORGE-D & ALL
I av heard you & other members advising that one may need to re-track the 'arc' of a satelite.pls sirs,what is this arc,how is it so important to signal quality,how do i get about re-tracking the arc & when do i know i'm on arc.pls i need a step by step guide to do this because i avn't touched my dish eversince it was installed & i need to start to do it myself. expecting your respönses

microgiant
is this not a case of double standards with you? Or is it that of convinient memeory. A while back a certain receiver was discussed openly on this forum. You did not find that problematic enough to psychoanalyze Nigerians. You do not remember. Well the guys involved in that post did not get done not even a rap on the knuckles. How about that.
eduzo.

george baba,

i will try and contact pitodenz when am less busy, thanks brother.

Merry Xmas and prsperous new year to all FTA members, long live FTA

@emexi
nobody banned you, sorry for the mixed up, just be patient, it will be sorted out in a while.

@Enitan

Why all the receivers and the cards? Why not sell the the idea of card spliter for them

@spaceman,
It always happens like that at this time of the year. Because of the xmas rush, every airport is jampacked with travellers so getting a connecting flight is always a hercullean task. Anyhow, I wish you a safe journey back to obodo naija.

@donald303,
Your welcome on board. The arc we usually refer to is the path followed by your dish as it moves from east to west. If you stand just under your motorized dish and watch its movements you will notice it doesn't travel perfectly vertical up and down. Rather, it tilts a litle to the south while going from east to west. That tilt is made to allow it follow what is called the clark belt.
Now, retracking the arc simply means using your jack to finetune positions already stored in your positioner which may have shifted maybe due to wind or shaking of the lnb. And sometimes, depending ion the type of jack used, some do miscount and you need to track them up and down to return them to their original position.

@enitan,
While waiting for pito's reply you could start something. Since they are 14 decoders, you somehow can still manage to output them using thier own inbuilt rf outputs (assuming they do not have need for any external local tv stations other than the dstv channels themselves). Try seperating the stations using a 2, 2 ratio. Remember, the recievers' rf output is limited from uhf 21 to uhf 69. So, you could try:

21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47.

If you notice shadows appearing on some of the channels that means they are too close. You could then try the 4, 4 ratio seperation:

21, 24, 27, 31, 35, 39, 42, 46, 50, 54, 58, 61, 65, 69.

Provided you are able to seperate the channels without overlapping shadows, you won't need the rf modulator and you've scored your first major hit. The next step is to get a 45db signal booster which will amplify the signals and depending on how far away the block of offices are, you will need other smaller boosters along the way to ensure the signals remain sharp. I'm sure pito will fill you in with rest of the details as to where best to get a good quality 45db line amp and other accesories. Best of luck.

@badaru1,
He is dealing with a corporate organisation. They might get sued by DSTV!

Eduzo, i don't have to trade words with you. This forum is the most free forum I have ever come across. For your information most forums are highly moderated. eg. in some european forums you don't post anything about s*k*y or N*D*S such post can get you banned not just your "USER ID" but you "IP" as well, in some offending posts are modified or deleted. Post are even moved, all these at the descretion of the Adm/Mods.

and what you have below is my opinion, i don't have influence over the adm or mods
