am using a kangput sat finder there is is a tall building in front of the house I could only track nigcomsat and dstv signal 68.5e is not coming at all

You can as well try and edit the frequency from 12722 V 26659 to 12727 V 26659

But if the signal did not come up.. Then the first solution I gave you will do the trick. Good luck

could the building be a major factor obstructing it.

Pls I need tracking frequency for satellites with good Free-to-air TV stations. I know of multiTv on 28°. I have three 90cm dishes and I stay in ogun state

For foreign movie content = MBC 2 & MBC max will take care of that.  Then MBC ACTION shows foreign series/ WWE as well. NTA, TVC NEWS are still there as well... Point your dish to 42.5 degree east nigcomsat position ( Tracking frequency 12519 H 29500)


Then for African movie you will have to point your dish or another dish to ( 33 degree east) to receive a channel called Ghallywood tv. For 24 hours African movie. ( Tracking frequency 11015 V 30000)


Then for music.  There is a channel called boomTV  located at 16 degree east
( Tracking frequency 10804 H 30000)


You can still get a full collection of foreign movie, Nollywood movie and others In a single dish on ABS3 @3.0 degree west

( tracking frequency 10972 V 30000) ( blind scan for etv Africa)

Eg:
Movies Africana
Kidszone cartoons
Fox sports news
&flix action
Movies now action
Mbc Action
Mbc 2
Cine film
Zeemundo
Romedy now

Probably is because the way your LNB was skewed. That frequency is not active once your LNB is in 3,0 clock.
But make we leave like that because debating about it serves us no good. Happy for you

Thank you, pointing my dish to West may be a bit difficult because of my location. I was able to track multiTv (joytv) and Nigcomsat today. I appreciate you. Meanwhile, which sat do you recommend for my third dish. Thanks once again

I believe I already stated that fact in my earlier post.

Tracking 68.5 degree east when there is no obstruction in front of your dish, is like, (tree near tree make monkey dey behave like say him nor dey like waka for ground)
But once there is an obstruction in front of your dish ( then the trees are very far apart. Then you go see the way monkey go use idea dey stroll for ground to avoid story for the gods)

Don't mind me with that joke oh.. It reminded me of how an installer spend a whole day trying to nail that sat and finally gave up in the night telling the people he came to work for that the signal is not available in that particular location. Simply because he did not observe the line of sight before and while tracking.

So my brother, just observe the line of sight and you will notice what is obstructing the signal from hitting your dish.

Also, sometimes your mounting Pole alignment can still contribute to it, when it is not well plumped .

Further more if you like two to three dish already installed.

Take for example

Dish one is joy TV

Dish two is nigcomsat

And you are trying to install your church station in dish three.

You can try testing if the signal will pop up in the joy TV or nigcomsat dish position. Sometimes it works.

Northern Nigeria, especially North East is good for fringe reception, with good LNB and motorised BUD. The SS lies too low and can't catch some of the MENA beams not to talk of Pacific beams
Tell me sir how u want to bring down 166e satellite in Nigeria. It is beyond our horizon unless u are a magician.

The issue of best decoder to use comes down to personal choice and budget. But then, I normally use H.265 decoder.

A beautiful Friday morning to everyone...

I just got a Syinix Android TV with inbuilt sattelite recently. Please i don't want to buy any PAY TV again as I was told that with inbuilt sattelite, I could access them free.

I am NOT a lover of sport channels, I just want the usual news and entertainment channels.

I require the assistance of installer who could help on this. I can afford small change if required.

Location: Olorunsogo, IBADAN

A little update...

Kudos to @lamtam0 who came to my house and helped track nigcomsat 42.5e on my DStv 90mm dish and a single LNB.

When scanned on my in-built satellite TV, I was able to get 56 channels which include TRT world, TVC News, MBC 2, MCB 3, MCB Max and others ...a few of the stations are scrambled though.
With those I mentioned, I now have access to news update as well as foreign movies.

Now, I want to ask if it is possible to track another Sat which could provide channels that shows African/Naija movies especially Yoruba movies. My households are fans of Yoruba movies. Pls I require ways to go, if there is any.

Thanks to lamtam0 once again.

Thanks for your efforts bro. But mounting multiple dishes in a rented apartment is NOT a good idea for me. That's the reason i am kind of requesting for other ways, if any, on this thread.

I was wondering this too,even in the core North, 166°E is way too below the horizon.

Anything below 90°E in Nigeria will almost be impossible but I'm open-minded and will always learn,what could be impossible for me could be easy for another.

Bro I understand where you're coming from.

However Isn't one of the essence of this thread, is to dish out location of FTA channels SO WE CAN ENJOY IT WHILE IT LAST? ( OGA GEORGE D, I LIE? ).

Besides, is not like I am collecting any money from anyone to release the info, or come to fix such channels in the person's house. ( that would've been the clause In my effort to help).

Furthermore, the road to receiving / watching premium/ quality channels on FTA comes with a cost or sacrifice at some point in time. Which leads to one having multiple dishes, several decoders and even devices to either enjoy or manipulate to enjoy premium channels while it lasted.

Just like many many Years back when mbc channels was only receivable with big dishes. I got that info here, spent around 60k or so to buy. As if that was not enough. I heard of OSN stations, which made me spend another 20k to buy microbox in order to view it.

But at the end of the day, did microbox not stop working? Azsky, Aplus, Gsky, Qsat and some others I cannot even remember followed. Still it all came to an end at some point. But some enjoyed it for years, some enjoyed it for months, some enjoyed it for weeks and some just for days or even a day. All in the spirit of enjoying premium channels as FTA while it lasted.

All the same thanks for Your advice. I will bear that in mind before attempting to answer questions here next time. ONE LOVE

Almost all FTA decoder supports multiple LNB once it has a diseqc switch support.



Then when is comes to prices of decoder, I don't normally contribute because I am not a marketer. However you can get H.265 enabled decoder ranging from 10 - 22k or even more depending on the brand.

Good suggestion.. However, I think he is only interested in using the satellite tuner embedded in his TV to achieve his goal. I may be wrong.
