Thanks man. Means I'll turn my dish to the opposite side from astra 2f? I am really beginning to enjoy this DIY instructions. The feeling of achievement when you have successfully attained your quest is unimaginable. My investment in a sat finder is proving to be a good idea grin

Both must also be on the same polarity.


NOPE.. just the Same Satellite channels.
For example, if you're watching channels on multi TV position on decoder one. Then you have to be watching channels on multi TV position on decoder two. Irrespective of the polarity, it works. But just a 2 percent signal drop is what you will notice.

Yeah that's it my bro. It's really puts you at the driver's seat ... Makes you have the feel of being your own Service provider.


The sat finder is an absolute because it makes things not only easier and faster but so much more flexible.

I totally agree with you. But on the other hand, it could just be a temporary fix, to someone who knows how to manage it efficiently. Till the person really have the time and resources or financial ability .To get the necessary tools for a more flexible configuration.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by odilibe(m): 12:36pm On Sep 27, 2020
Digitman:


Definitely you can. But let me point out one downside to this configuration.

If decoder A is on and you decide to put on decoder B, and each are in two different satellite channels. Then the signal to decoder B will not come up.

But if decoder A and B channels are on the same satellite position . Both channels signal will be stable.

For example you are watching Joy TV @28.2 degree on decoder A , and someone else decides to watch MBC2 @42.5 degree east through decoder B. The signal will not come up because there is a conflict.


However, if the two decoders will not be on at the same time, it works or if both decoders will be on the same satellite channels, it will also work as well without any conflict.

So it boils down to how comfortable the person using feels about it or ready to make that compromise.

I dare the above set up has never worked!

You cannot mix or send vertical polarity and horizontal polarity at same time on different receivers on same lnb cable... this will confuse the lnb...and jam v/h pol between between the two receivers..following a conflict that will power off the receiver or disable the receiver tuner. ..even if you track 2 satetlites with same lnb on same satellite dish on different sat position example 17 and 16east the receiver will see it at same sat position cos no diseqc is needed on the kind of set up....so it is not a satellite position and channel issue as you said...

This can only work on different transponders with same polarity irrespective of satellites on same diseqc switch or not etc..
Otherwise the set up can damage weak receivers tuner!!

T Type f connector is not made for satellite dish.. receiver to lnb installation

Even the same satellite, it has to be the same transponder.
Same polarity but different transponder wont work from my experience.

Thanks for the explanation. So it is advisable to join the cables manually. I was afraid there'd be noise or reduction in signal.

Bro the only personal tested and trusted advice on this issue of multiple decoder usage. That I can stand for anytime, any day. Is changing all the LNB from the existing single to dual LNB.


Whatever comment I made on the issue of joining wires is just for educational purposes. It was never my idea or advice but that of someone else here.

I believe he will be in the best position to advice you if it is a risk worth taking in practicality.

But will I do it for myself? No!!
Will I ask anyone to do it for their self? No!!

Sorry for the late reply. This is the setup I used for one of my clients for the past two years now and it is still working fine.
rhanks man, what if the decorders are one at the same time, won't there be an electrical problem affecting the receivers or signal fluctuations.

Bro they say majority wins the vote. So if you are running it on a small apartment, majority advice for you to just get a DUAL/ TWIN/ DOUBLE PIN LNB/ TWO DISEQ SWITCH TO ACHIEVE A RELIABLE AND PEACE OF MIND SET UP. BUT IF YOU ARE EMBARKING ON A LARGER OR COMMERCIAL BUILDING SET UP. THEN USE A MULTISWITCH.

Anything other than that is at your own risk because that's the only tested and trusted proven ways to run/ install such a setup on a small or larger scale. I REST MY CASE.

Below is the frequency and satellite position I gave you for Bet9ja

Satellite – SES 5

Frequency – 11919

Symbol Rate – 27500

Polarization – Horizontal

Longitude – 4.8 degrees East

If there is any currently existing in 7 degree, I can't say for now. However, if you already have 7 degree east dish installed. Then you can just run a blind scan and see if it pops up. Then update the house.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Yinka4dad(m): 8:14am On Sep 29, 2020
Yes but it will not open hd channels but you can still watch nigcomsat on it but upgrade to hd or multistream decoder

I know a lot of names here that are in the Telegram Group. Compare the rate of activities before and now you would understand what I meant.

I am not here to give any link. Seun should try and either upgrade Nairaland or sell it to investors that will make it up to modern standard.

That was on a lighter note, bro.

I seriously agree with you. Nairaland is overdue for a makeover but I think Seun is trying to be overly conservative.
Recall that in 2014 the website suffered a massive attack that brought it nearly to its knees and I guess he is just
being careful not to allow that happen again...
