When everything else fails (fta stations) ... You can still stream it on your phone, laptop or TV, using the Dstv now app. The data consumption should really be nothing for sports fan like you. Just saying. After all my wife dey use am watch common zeeworld when signal goes off because of rain.. Lol.

The app is not free na, i think it links to a paid dstv card

You can use any existing/available dish in the house. Dish is just dish.. Forget whatever name is stamped on it. That's just for proprietary purposes.

Yes it is linked to a paid Dstv card. However, when you seat and calculate how many friends and family you have, that are die hard Dstv premium subscribers. Then you can easily find one who don't use such a feature and willing to give you access. That's the only price you have to pay. Which is in translation, free in my opinion.

I scanned this on my unique sat decoder , the stations came out but they were not showing. Signal strength at 92% while signal quality at 72%. What am I doing wrong or it's not just me ?

maybe just maybe according to my boss digitman and other distinguished gurus in this platform your decoder is not H.265 complaint

willian10:

You can get another dish (60cm) and you it exclusively for the DSTV signal and then use your DSTV dish for a multi lnb setup

Digitman:

Or mytv decoder

hello gurus pls i need multiple lmb holder that can hold upto 4to5 lmbs in one dish am in badagry thanks

Five LNBs

My tv's back light is busted. Please does anyone have any spare 40inches TV in good condition that he is not using? Please bless me with it.
A word of advise though, please minimise the brightness of your TV if you want it's life to be elongated. I'd painfully be looking from the sidelines now when better fta topics dey fly around.

Warm greetings to you all, pls someone should help me confirm that 11095 H 30000 @ 51.5°e is still active... I tracked it with good quality but got non of the channels. Thanks

With LNB at 3.0 clock... The above frequency shows red. So I wonder how you could have gotten green/ signal with it. Or was your LNB turned to 6.0 clock?



Anyway those channels @ 51.5e are still very much active with this frequency 11090 V 30000. Hopefully I believe you must have resolved it by now.

LNB @ 6:0 clock

I did not ignore your question. Rather I needed to be 100% sure that what you are looking for is active . Which requires practicality, rather than just what is on paper.

Well long story cut short. Turn your dish to ABS-3A @ 3° West

Track with these frequencies

4115 H 3333 ( without dielectric plate)
3882 H 1667 ( without dielectric plate)


LNB skew =5:30 o clock

tchijioke:
LNB @ 6:0 clock

Was there a particular reason for setting it at 6.0 clock?



However did mytv channels came out when you scanned your decoder?

thank u so much sir

Was there a particular reason for setting it at 6.0 clock?
I wasn't able to track the signal @ 3:0 clock but easily gets it at 6.0 clock though with quality hovering around 50% plus max.
I decided to improve on the quality yesterday...it improved to 73% plus max but when I scanned the tp 11095 H 30000 the channels didn't pop up... I did a blind scan got Ghallywood and some other channels... But the channels I previously got on 11095 H 30000 didn't show up. Am still at a loss as to what could be the reason for my inability to track the tp 11090 V 30000 @ 3:0 clock.

No I didn't get mytv channels. Thanks

I need to buy T8 ultra HD

Please can someone link me to a genuine seller

Pls guys,how much is strong srt 497s now

Digitman:


I had a very hectic day yesterday, so the time to type long long sentences nor dey.

Anyway let's begin. Your first question explains you have four dishes connected to two diseqc switches and you want to connect both diseqc switch to one decoder? ( please correct if I am wrong)

If that be the case, it shows you already know how to connect a diseqc switch. So no need to go into that.

But where your number one question sounded out of place, is you have four dishes connected to two diseqc switch. Which brings the question.. Why would you even need two diseqc switch for four dishes? Because there is already a four slot for four dishes in one diseqc switch. I am still trying to wrap my head around that. The only time the need for an extra diseqc switch will arise is if you have more than four satellite position that you want to connect to your receiver.

Then you have two options... You either buy an 8way diseqc switch or you buy a diseqc 1.1 switch and connect two diseqc to it. ( To be continued)

The bolded simplified my question on this as this is exactly what I was praying to save the excess use of cable wires. Please, what's is 1.1 switch and how does it work, can be used for two separate disegc?

Sorry for the late reply... However you can always chat me up for urgent reply if need be.

Now back to the issue on ground. It's pretty obvious that you have been tracking a wrong location right from day one. So let's remedy that, in that exact position where you got ghallywood. I need you to tight your dish at the back and slide it down between 7 to 11 inches, the frequency will show you either a little signal or a sign. Then you tight the dish and slightly loose the the one at the back, after that move the dish slowly to your left to boost the signal. That should do it.

Remember to track with any of these frequencies

11050 H 30000 or 11090V 30000.

Happy hunting
