Are the stations in tstv off? Just did one installation and I'm seeing 18 stations that are definitely not TSTv. Dakar TV, OPM KIDS etc

I tracked with my qsat Decorder, cos that's what I have for now. My signal quality is about 65%. Do you think I have to increase the signal to get signals on 11052.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by 4llerbuntu(m): 7:07pm On Nov 04, 2017
Never mind. It was a bad joint on my cable.

Fixed and dancing now. 31 stations

Check your wiring properly.

Signal is not strong so any bad joint or fixing drops it.

On mine I had a line booster on my cable but it seems it was bad.

All o was getting was some other random stations on that sat, not tstv.

After removing it, the signal picked strength and I now have reception

Thanks bro, so how did I supplement my signals to get these channels. I'm using a diesc switch, could it be the reason why my signal on this 11052 TP dropped?
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by HIGHESTPOPORI(m): 7:49pm On Nov 04, 2017
Was Tstv able to show the Liverpool match?

if it is 65% for 11088 on qsat then 11052 would definitely show

Very likely.

Try it without the DisEqc and see.

That my line booster is working fine. I was using it for JoyTV till I moved the dish today. It didnt work with TSTV. The signal is weak

If Qsat gives you 65%, then strong will give you 72% on same TP

Guys am loving you all. Used to be an installer when I was in the job market using the small N3k to N5k to take care of myself and my family. To the glory of God, I got a job and work schedule didn't give me time to keep up with FTA, When I got to know about TSTv, I decided to get back on track.
This forum has been very helpful and I thank you all for being your brother keeper.
God bless Nairaland. God bless you all.
I will try your feedbacks and hopefully I will get it.
Thanks.

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by kentonira: 9:40pm On Nov 04, 2017
good evening again;i have tracked the tstv and i can watch channels like hits tv and others but the mbcs and bbc i dont have them probably because the 11052 is showing red.
i actually tracked it using my dstv dish and lnb and i have 59% qaulity on 11168 H 30000.
Do i need to use LNB made by stong.
i used satbox decoder;the cannels i have are very stable.
