I will like to buy it. Where is your location and mobile number?
Sorry for late response. The dish is in Abuja. Please let me know if you are still interested because of the distance.

Well, I've not done Cable installation for the first time before
but I am following the instructions on this thread for FTA installation.
I will appreciate any help from your corner.
I think you should get an installer for now but if you have the time and ready to soil your hand, then lets get started here.
Have nailed your dish firmly and the lnb properly installed? Can your dish face the sun early in the morning without obstruction?

Lets flow I am ready to take the risk. Give me the titbits.
...
Where I nailed the dish partially faced the sun rise position.
But somebody assisted me by holding and adjusting the dish location directly towards the sun this morning.
As usual, the signal strength remained 60%. Signal quality is 0%. I bought 2 universal strong lnb which I interchanged
but no show. At least I expected the signal to change from one location to another instead of this constant 60%.

Good.
Make sure the pole of your dish is firm. You will still need to snap post the picture of the lnb.
On your rcu, press menu> Installation>enter 0000 as your pin>scroll to manual scan>press green botton on your rcu (or any colour labelled "edit tp"wink
>modify the frequency to11050, change symbol rate to 30,000 and your polarization to H
(I assume you have no satfinder)
Now picture your dish as a clock and the lnb is the hour hand of the clock. Twist your lnb to 3 o'clock position.

Then you keep moving your dish (as you keep your eyes on the signal bar) side by side, up and down until the signal bar flashes green. Try to get the highest signal (70 and above) then tighten.
Also twist your lnb to get the highest signal and tighten the lnb holder.
Press the red botton on your rcu to scan.

But mine has been updated and it's showing right now

Mine was showing before when I updated it to 2021 firmware until I rescanned few days ago to check if new channels were added and they all stopped showing except mytv channels only. I rescanned several times for good 2 days same thing until I downgrade firmware yesterday and they started showing again.

You can delete all channels and rescan to see if same will happen

Make sure you are not joining coaxial cable. Don’t join cable for now just use one cable and check your lnb to be sure if it’s well crimped and we’ll connected and rf connectors well frightened. Also separate the coaxial cable inner copper from the back one. Make sure only inner copper is going to lNb and decoder and other wire clipped on rf back! Those 2 might cause signal loss

You can learn installation online but as was earlier advised get an installer and watch what he does. Else you will roast under the sun trying to nail a bird.
