Hello guys,

I am new to this satellite TV technology.

To start with which Strong Decoder is the best for receiving FTAs? And also, do I need to buy 2 dishes to catch more signals?

I will be obliged if someone would answer these sincere questions of mine.

Hi everyone,
I have a dstv dish installed, I got their office to subscribe and was told the decoder is no longer supported, I now want to use it for FTA instead, from what I've read here I understand I'll need a strong decoder. What else do I need and how do I go about it?

yeah rite, u will a strong decoder preferably mpeg 4 decoder like srt4669z, srt 4669xii or strong hd decoders like srt4902 or srt 4930 if u can afford, you will coxial cable, f-connector and ya dstv dish that is if u want f.t.a, best bet with ya dstv dish(80cm) is u can hook it to multi tv 28 deg east or w3c 16 deg east or dstv position 36 deg east or sirius4, always remember in F.T.A u cannot get all in one dish.

hello gurus,
pls, i will like to know if it is possible to track/receive two satellites with only one LNB? I actually saw a post where one showed a pix of a Astra-2B and Badr-5 tracked with only one LNB.

its possible but with bigger dish, preferably 3m pan dish, also to get more other beneficts you can motorise it, to acquire multiple f.t.a satellites.

It is very possible. If the satellites are very close together (imagine they have a low degree difference, say one is at 100 degrees and then the other is at 102 or 96 degrees) you can get them with a smaller dish (from 60 cm if it's KU band) and the more the difference the more you will need to increase dish size. Currently I am getting Arabsat 5c, Eutelsat W3C and Eutelsat W2A on a single 1.8m dish and I intend to get more here although using multiple LNBs. I am getting Sirius 4 and Eutelsat W3A on a single dish and LNB. It all depends on your liking and imagination. wink

@Jimoh
all protocols should be observe, thats why i directed you here. The w3c nut screwing is at 16 degrees, lnb skew at 8 o'clock. From dstv/multitv position, raise your dish gradually up to 16 degrees first then move gradually to your right, standing at the back of your dish you will hit green. I hope you are using mpeg 4 receiver and above? Goodluck.

@brite thanx i don't knw which is d 16degree nut but i have already track dstv and multitv i used dstv as primary and add multitv under they are both at 80% each is it possible i add lnb to it to get w3c n frequence pls
Re: Newbie In Satellite Installation: Introduce Yourself Here With Your Problems by jimohbello: 9:49pm On Apr 05, 2012
yes @brite02 have 4669xii hope it's mpeg4 decoder
Re: Newbie In Satellite Installation: Introduce Yourself Here With Your Problems by Brite02(m): 11:07pm On Apr 05, 2012
@Jimoh,
yeah, sure it is mpeg 4. If you want to add another to that your setup you will probably need to track w3c first then followed with multitv/dstv with a lnb holder(locally made or brand new) all in a 90cm dish or if you don't want to soil your setup you can use different dish, say 60cm dish and above for w3c. Enjoy..

jimohbello: @brite thanx i don't knw which is d 16degree nut.

If you are using either of dishes 60cm,80cm,90cm e.t.c there are calibrations i.e readings at the back of the dish, try to the calculation wisely.

i really appreciate this. Am truly a novice.In 2010, i bought a strong decoder 4653x with a dish [ i don't know its cm] with MyTv card,since i bought it i've not subscribe[or recharged], i was able to watch FTA which i felt comfortable with. last year wen i lost contact,i found out that the wire connecting to the dish outside was off, i was able to fix it back with the help of my in law. Since then till now, i can't get any channel. I've tried to scan but it's asking for pin,i have tried all the pin code that i know which people tell me to try.To make matter worse, the person that installed the dish in the 1st place is no where to be found.
Please i really need ur help cry
