Anybody who knows how to overcome c-band interference from mobile phone communication masts since i hit maximum quality but fluctuating to zero now and the and it seem to affect low symbol rates mostly.

George_D: @Adex,

See below pix. The STRONG K5 LNB that did the trick.

Remember to remove the blue plastic cover to check inside the throat.

The number is always engraved on the far wall inside.

You may even be lucky to get a K6 instead of K5 like myself!
pls did u receive any nilesat tp on ur ku lnb and also did u cover both c bands lnb with d plastic cover?

I used dis TP 11155 v 45000 on Amos to track infinity bt it does show picture. Pls what is d correct TP to track infinity channels
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by calis2: 10:45pm On Mar 10, 2013
ayolacz: calis,check again from your receiver the symbol rate u posted for eutelsat 16E. Is it 29950 or 30000,because lyngsat says 30000. I want to tack the bird tomorrow
THE 2 SR ARE DSAME.

Yomkris: @ all the gurus, weldone,
pls i want to know how i can do rf extension from a decoder in the siting room to tvs in 3 or more rooms of thesame house/ compound.. Pls i have tried but i noticed that d rooms that ar far from d decoder doesnt show colourd picture and ar not clear at all. Is there anyway i can do it witout joinin wires from 1 room to another. Pls i need to know how to make it display clear coloured pictures in a far room. What are the things to use. Thanks 4ur responses.
ayolacz: go for AV modulator

IRAPADA: pls did u receive any nilesat tp on ur ku lnb and also did u cover both c bands lnb with d plastic cover?

@IRAPADA,
Yes, I got the NWA beam on AB7 having Aljazeera and other channels (10992v, 27500sr). I just didn't want to
emphasise on it since my main focus was on C BAND satellites.

And yes, I covered both STRONG C band lnbs with their blue plastic cover. This is very important because from
experience if you don't cover the throat of the lnbs, eventually spiders and other insects will begin to
build nests inside them which will then lead to drop in signal quality. If you're not the patient type, you may
begin to think something is wrong with your dish alignment and you may begin to make very costly adjustments to
your dish only to find out later that there was nothing at all wrong with your dish but just spiders inside your
lnb throat that have caused you so much inconvienience!

@Adex,
I'm not familiar with that supersat lnb but I guess it must be good. However, 68E/C or Intelsat 20/C is a
linear polarised satellite and as such you should track it without a di-electric plate (teflon) inside
the lnb throat. If you're getting it with dielectric then its either what you're recieving is not that
satellite or the supersat lnb is configured differently.

I will advise that you try again using the STRONG K5 (without any dielectric) this time and see how it goes.
Adjust the lnb to the position shown in my picture on the previous page (10 O'clock position) and finetune
from there. Also remember your dish focal lenght (very important). You should be able to hit not less than
79 to 80% on Aljazeera in clear weather.

Hello Yomkris,
I think what you need is a signal booster. An AV to RF modulator is used mostly for decoders without RF
output and even though it performs better for long range video transmission, it cannot take the place of
a standard signal booster.

What you do, go to any satellite equipment shop (even DSTV shops) and ask them for a signal booster.
Connect the RF output of the decoder in the sitting room to the input of the signal booster. Then connect
the input cable of each of the TVs in the rooms to the output of the signal booster. Turn on the booster
and you'll be fine. Remember to assign different UHF channels to each decoder before
connecting them to the booster.

@n9jaboy,

Yes. It depends on whether you want to motorize the dish or not. If it will be motorised, all you need is
to add a C band lnb on top of your KU lnb and you'll be able to get CNN and other channels on C band satellites.

Check the previous page to see pictures of a 3-in-1 set up.

However, if the dish is to be a fixed one, you'll need a different type of lnb arrangement. This is mostly common
in the north close to where you live. The LNBs are arranged along the lenght of one of the dish tripods following
the arc. I have seen pictures where peeps use this arrangement to recieve up to seven different satellites
in a fixed position. Unfortunately I don't have a ready picture to upload for you right away.

Hello odilibe, pls do you know any box in the class of dreambox 8000hd dvd pvr in faetures but lesser in price. I have tiger t series on mind presently but far lesser in class.
Look for technomate 800hd enigma2 linux open source satellite receiver, it is more cheaper than dreambox and can run enigma2grin grin....

Thank you Oga George_D, Its goin to be fixed @NILESAT position. i;ve seen the pics you posted. I tried to inquire but the installers i met are only interested in nailing mytv and dstv. I read past post especially ones from Petfun4u (even using a 1m dish 4 nilesat)He has not been active on this forum but from my understanding he stays in abuja, will contact him. Thanks for making out time to reply

Strong signal here in Nigeria. It seems to be almost the same package as on Amos 5, 12416 V.

@kd10,
Use 3838V 7235sr. Remember this is a circular polarised satellite so you need to insert a dielectric
inside the lnb throat.

Although, I'm a bit curious as to how you hope to track this sat with a 90cm dish, I know in FTA anything
is possible so please go ahead and when you're done share your experience with the house. Viva FTA!!!

Could you state you problem in more clear terms. it is ttrue that when you power the 4922 series a red light bips followed by the usual pannel light (yellow dashes) of the rx then what next?
