Goodmorning house.Is there any information in respect to the date when Mytv will be back.
Thanks.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by krasican(m): 8:02am On Jan 27, 2020
Due to a conflict with the satellite capacity provider over commercial terms,My TV services have been temporarily suspended.

Management is working diligently at getting My TV services back up and running over coming hours,possibly on a different satellite,with more relevance to My TV viewers.
Please accept our apologies for the resulting inconvenience.

We thank you for your understanding and patience

Frankly speaking, I don't know much about these technologies but not long ago I decided to buy a new set-top box for my tv. I'm tending to buy a Linux based stb on switchonshop but still I want to gather more opinions and testimonials.

My candid advice, stay away from Linux boxes if you are not well knowledgeable in computer & satellite stuffs. It favours mostly european beams. Typical box like tiger, starsat, csat, starmax etc., will give you more joy than you could ever get from the constant tweaking of third party plugin ipks you will get from Linux box.

[quote author=bbally post=86109979]please I need an insight on how to watch two different satellites joined together with diseqc but using splitter to split the end signal cable to two different decoders. e.g I want to watch joytv in the sitting room while the kid want nicklendeon on 9e at the same time without loosing signal on either side.[/quote
Once u are already with 2 decoders what u nid is dual lnb for each of d dish that u want u children to be watching in their bedroom]

Here's an update on the performance of my dish.
After many suggestions on NL, on Saturday we decided to try couple of things out.

First called my installer to discuss the strategy, cos the guy is one of the best ever installer operating in Nigeria. We started together from those days of Analog on Arabsat 30 degrees East, those days of no sat finders, that we had to use TV for tracking Nilesat as early as the days of ABG in the early 90s.

We tried the single way Inverto, but it gave same outcome as the 2 way StarGold fuji.
He had to return the StarGold fuji and did few adjustment and we gained about 3%.
He then suggested we should clean the dish and repaint, cos the paint on the refurbished dish was wearing out after only getting it in October, 2019

We painted and did further adjustment and everything seems good now since Sunday.

One thing is that, the dish is motorized and we can't compare performance of motorized dish with a static dish. Static positioned dish will have more gain on the satellite being used as primary, but it limits what you can receive, no matter the number of lnbs you attach on a static dish.

With motorized dish I can receive nothing less than 20 satellites, with my 36 inches Heavy duty Jack that rises from 56 degrees east to 30 degrees west. Hence from Hellas Sat 39 E to Hispasat on the west, motorized dish is well covered.

I'll continue to watch the performance as we approach the raining season and probably get the two way Inverto Ultra

Is the dish motorized or static?

Also, this needs to be painted. Painted mine using a white paint that cost about N4,000 (not sure if its Emulsion or Gloss but one was cheaper and I bought the expensive one.

The foil paper is already showing. You need to paint now in Dry season

That's how d decoder was manufactured. But one you get signal . It will show both quality and signal .
Get a good installer to help you get signal .
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Ismy5000: 10:47am On Jan 29, 2020
H264 and H265 are channels system, mean u cant use H264 box to watch a channel broadcasting with H265 video system
Take note, csat c8 pro is H265 box, csat c8 pro+ is H265 multistream box both box have 1GB ram plus 8MB memory both box use same software, super sensitive signal tuner, high FEC and weak signal friendly as all users confirm it.
The only difference between the two box is multistream function , which csat c8 pro+ has over ther other.
The box is available and cheaper at one digit . You could get it . 08056554569 for yours

if u are an installer u would have known that that is how d decoder was manufactured just like 4945 model
use another decoder to track or use a sat finder to get green and re connect to ur set up ,signal will appear and d it quality
note ,,,,,, that strong models are not designed for tracking ,,,,,God blesss
