Ok. Guess we'll make do with watt we have. Let him do the multi tv/Dstv. Then as for the Amos, being dat u don't have a 90 cm, lets manage the 60cm u have. Let him track with 118811 V 27500. Let him optimize the signal and 16'e will automatically fall in. Dia's no magic about it. Then let him blinscan. (to be on the safe side, after tracking with 118811 V 27500, let him check dat 11024 H 03333 - 16'e- is also green. It doesn't have to be upto 70, around 50-60% should do. The one to concentrate on is 11881 to get the highest possible.)

Regards.

No need once u get 17e, then 16e is certain. even u can track all 3 three birds one a 90cm dish and thereafter u use ur 60cm dish for mytv.

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by iykmora(m): 11:45am On Jun 30, 2013
4922A = #11,000
strong universal lnb= #400 - #500
65cm dish = 3000
bundle of coaxial cable= #800

is there nobody close to oshogbo to help him out?? Or guy, you should b able to do it ur self if you have self belief. The forum has evertin you need as in tutorial. Again you will realise it's fun, except for tym. Get down to work and ask question when you encounter a prob...i learnt to buy, fix and track here wit no physical aid here in dis site. If any1 could, you can also. All you need is self belief and to purchase from strong accredited sale outlet for genuine product. Thatz all!

wy dont u negotiate fully with him? or better still u can purchase the materials yourself and let him bill you for installation... you shouldnt have brought those figure here.

mind you, some installer wil not even charge u well on installation becos they believe they will make some gain from the materials, 3,500 is not enough to me as per the installation so i believe the guy will make some little little change from the materials which is fair enough

My friend, these prices are way too high. This forum encourages do it urself. Even if u are not able to track sats by urself now, u can atleast go to sat shop in oshogbo and get the needed equipments.
In port harcourt where things are very expensive, 90cm is sold with lnb for 3;500. 60cm dish is sold with lnb for 2500. Here in lagos, 60cm dish is 1200, lnb is btw 400-700 . 90cm dish is 2500-3000, 1m dish 3500 - 4000.
4922a is 10500
So u can use info gathered here to get a fair bargain in ur location.
Btw, if u want to enjoy FTA, u must learn to track satellites. All the best. Cheers

@ twinskenny

I agree with you totally. It is business and if negotiations go on well, every party goes home satisfied and that is what he should have done.

@ Seyilome

Some installers will even not do the work well so they can have you in their pockets all the time but if he is worth his work and you believe he will deliver, talk to him and come to a general consensus where both of you will be happy. That is the way to go.

NB: Checking for market prices of materials is a good thing but questioning the value of his work in this manner is what we believe was not done in good taste.

Do you mean the MBC packages on the MENA beam of Atlantic Bird 7W is now available in Accra and it's surroundings on 1m dishes?..........or you meant to say, the MBC freeview SD packages have been moved to the MAGHREB beam and you've been receiving it for about a year now?

The only MBC channels i know on that satellite(Eutelsat w7 or Atlantic Bird 7) that are also easily available in West Africa on 90cm dishes is the MBC HD channels which are encrypted. These channels are there with the Aljazeera packages on the maghreb beam. There is also the MBC SD channels that are free but are not easily nailed here in the south of countries Like Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Benin etc. unless you have a bigger dish. These MBC SD(fta) channels and are on the MENA beam.

If you are telling me(or the forum) now that the MBC SD(fta)channels are now on the maghreb beam and are available on 1m dishes, then that will be very interesting news. It will also mean i have been away from the forum for far too long which is most unlikely.

On the other hand too, if the transmit power for the MENA beam has been increased and the MBC channels are now available on 1m dishes in the south(Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Benin etc). Then that still is good news.

Any which way, i need an accurate confirmation of either of the above two cases with reference to the working beam(MENA or MAGHREB) so as to know whether we have to all get back to the drawing board or wait for something good to happen on Badr 5.

@ Adex
Long time. Hope you are good?! Anyway, we've have later correspondence and from what he is saying, he is not referring to the Scrambled MBC HD channels you'll need technosat decoders to unscramble. From what he is saying there is a free to air on that is available on 1m dishes for the countries i mentioned above. Those are the ones i want better clarification on. Whether they are channels that have been moved to the maghreb beam or the transmit power of the MENA beam has now been increased. You are aware the time we have spent in the past trying to get these channels but from their information, they've been watching it for about a year now. That is what i really want to understand. There is a 3m mesh lying outside i'm not even using now but it's the time i don't have. So not to go out again searching to an end without knowing if it's actually receivable or not, i want a clearer picture so i know what to look out for when i decide to go out there to track.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Seyilome(m): 5:06pm On Jun 30, 2013
Well, I really thank u all,what I will do now is that I will buy all these things my self, and I call him and pay him 4k workmanship and if he refuses that is I will do it myself.
