Greetings nairalanders! this is my first post here, so please be gentle. I just acquired a spider m500hd receiver with full hd 1080, hdtv,hdmi,usb,pvr function and mpeg 4 and internet ready through ethernet port. After paying an annual fee to the seller based in amman jordan and he programmed the receiver to be able to receive scrambled channels on the following sattellites, as long as i have an active internet connection with the box. (they termed it installing a user in the receiver)

1.astra 1,2, and 3

2.amos

3.nilesat

4. w1,w2, w3

6.sirius
7.hotbird
8. eurobird


I am so excited, i am coming back to nigeria this weekend and hope to set it up in ikeja lagos. my main interest is in getting the sky uk channels, i grew up watching them via abg and mg in kaduna, iam sure experts in the north remeber those times. Though a novice I understand that the set up required is same as free to air tv ,only difference being that the receiver will go via the internet to get the code to decrypt the scrambled channels.

that said i need advise on how realistic it will be to receive good signals on the astra satellites for sky uk,the hotbird sattellite for sky italia and amos for the yet channels. these sattelites and packages are my main interests.

the plan is to use a 2 m motorised dish for this mission with 3 lnbs as i dont have space for more than 1 dish. i hve an existing dstv dish in lagos, if i motorise it will it suffice.

i intend on hiring an installer to do the setup, interesting as doing it my self maybe, I dont have the time to learn this rather complex subject, and i need to start enjoying this thing fast. think its a good way of dumping dstv, i never really liked them anyway. pointers to good installers in ikeja area would be appreciated. i need to no as much info as possible, so they dont rip me off.

please advice on which satellites i can get etv africa sabc 1 2 and 3 i am interested in those channels also.

thanks in advance.

Re: Newbie In Satellite Installation: Introduce Yourself Here With Your Problems by dynamicd28(m): 5:52am On Oct 20, 2012

hi experts, got a quote from the moulders at 150 k for a 4m dish, is it good or a ripoff, i didnt think it will be that much. was expecting around 50 to 60k what do you guys think?

Intelsat 20 seems to be the easiest sat to track as it seems to have strong signal. I feel you should be able to track it with 60cm. Try using 12602 v 26657. This sat is below ur Dstv sat (W4/7 or the new name Eutelsat W36A) in the eastern direction.

Oga pidzo,facing the dish,should I turn it left or right.And again how far down is it to dstv(eg. If the marker on the dish says dstv is on 58).I'll really appreciate your help cos since joining this forum as a novice,I've been able to nail,w4,astra 2b,sirius 4,Amos 5,w3c and W7 without much difficulty,I dont know why this one is eluding me.Help!!!!!!!!!!

standing in front of d dish u move it to d right, bt is not advisable to always stand in fron of d dish while tracking most especially now that u r tracking a bird that its signal seems to be hitting d dish horizontally, good luck

As a reference, from dstv position and with u standing behind the dish, let the dish come down till it looks like it is vertically straight, and shift alittle to ur left, play around dia and u'll surely hit green.

NB: As this satellite is almost nearly above the horizon, it is easily blocked by trees, houses, etc. Just make sure u have a clear line of sight to the east wit no obstructions and u are good to go. Don't give up yet. Cheers.

@all,thank you for all your support and encouragement.I've been able to nail the bird.In fact,thanks to the guidelines i received from you guys,it looked easier than I ever thought.The problem I now have is that I cant receive the signal for the ds** channels.Although. I learnt from lyngsat that they are on the 'south african beam',but I understand that some people are receiving it.Is it that I'll need a bigger dish?Once again,thank you all.

get a different receiver and try it on the same dish...if it works thn ur 69xii is faulty,if it behaves the same check ur LNB.

Dat channel is a feed channel. Which means dat it's not always on. So why not occassionaly blind scan ur decoder or better still manualy input 12740 04430 V/H depending on ur lnb skew. Ur best bet is to try it 5 mins into a match on a match day. Cheers.
