The only enjoyable channels on mbc package are the mbc channels, which offers the best movies that can be comoared to Dstv premium.
Secondly, standing behind ur dish, uou can attach a 2nd lnb to give you Startimes and Ses 5 package. The lnb should be attached to the lnb the same way multi tv lnb is attached to dstv dish.
dis is d post i'm talking about numba 2 i.e 7w & ses5 thanx

I have been following this thread with keen interest for some days now and I want to say kudos to you gurus here esp Chinedu7. With the little knowledge I got from the comments and responses so far, I want to ask..... Will I be able to get channels like MBC Movies MBC Action, Cartoon Network and most of the other channels which are aired by CTL (Trend TV)? If NO....the AFN channels....do they air quality and more recent movies cos I am a lover of Hollywood. Also are there also soaps like Telemundo and habit of Hollywood? Thanks in anticipation of an answer.

Bros, fortunately you can achieve all you have mentioned 'but' you need a big motorize 2.4m dish only. Combine three lnbfs(one cband with dielectric Plate, one cband without plate and one Ku-Band). That is the only way to get everything you have mentioned. On Apstar7 you will get premium cartoon channels like Disney, NICK JR and so on, you will also have channels like E-entertainment, SONY movies, AXN, etc in HD with other stations that air good recent TV series. Telemundo is also free on Apstar 7 in English Language. Then on IS20 Cband - HBO and SONY-PIX for top blockbuster movies. AFN Atlantic on 1west also offers good premium movies with better picture quality than other receivable AFN found elsewhere. For Sports you have SONY on IS20 and Sports24 on 34w. Your MBCs are easy to get with even 90cm but with 3-in-1 motorized dish, everything is covered. That is if you have space for a 2.4m dish and of course you will need a very good installer for that. For local channels you will get NTA, Channels TV and WAP TV all free. I can tell you that with this combo you will feel like watching more than DSTV 'free' in your home.

@ chinedu7 I think this combo has virtually all one can ask for.i have more than enough space for a 2.4m dish so can you give me the cost of the settings above. I see two cband lnbs and one kuband.

One will need an experienced installer to pull off this settings. I just wanna know how much it'll cost me to replicate what you posted in my house.

I also need clarification on the concept of motorizing a big dish. All the channels you listed are not on the same satellite position so does it mean if am on 7w watching mbc and I need to switch to Apstar7 (east), do I need to come and turn the dish to face east? Or can I do all that in the comfort of my sitting room?

I don’t know the current price of a 2.4m dish but it won't be more than 50k, heavy duty Jack cost around 15k, positioner cost 6k and an installer may charge 7-10k for that. A rough budget of 80k. Just an estimate.

Wow! Your response shows that you are really deep into this FTA thing. So this dish which I usually call "netted dish" is actually a motorized dish. It's really big shocked and I guess what is needed will be on the high side in terms of finance. Can you kindly give me an estimate of what the costs will look like?

Motorizing your dish means giving it leg to move from one position to another. You store different positions in the positioner in your room. Ex position 1 is Apstar 7@76.5E and position 2 Sony @68.5E and so on. Once you press 1 the jack carrying your dish will move it to Apstar and so on.
