All,
I have koan KSC660HD and my neighbor owns a strong 4669x. I discover that koan has a very poor video quality as compared with strong 4669x. koan produces pictures that are somehow reddish and not sharp. green colour reproduction is the worst hit(when watch on an LCD screen). I was thinking of Upgrading to a new decoder be it SD or HD. Has any one in the forum experimented with picture qualities of the various decoders using the same source and input.
please kindly advice.

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by petfun4u(m): 8:58am On Oct 11, 2011
W3C will replace the EUROBIRD™ 16, W2M and SESAT 1 satellites at 16° East. Through its configuration of 56 transponders, (53 Ku and three Ka), it will address markets for broadcasting and telecom/data services via four footprints:

A high-power footprint optimised for Direct-to-Home broadcasting in Central Europe will anchor the 16° East neighbourhood as a point of reference for satellite TV in the region, serving over 11 million households.

High-power coverage over Indian Ocean islands will support the expansion of pay-TV and accelerate digital switchover in Mauritius and Reunion Island.

A wide footprint serving Europe, North Africa and the Middle East will serve markets for data networks and newsgathering.

A new footprint for 16° East, with Ku coverage stretching from Senegal to Madagascar and enabling connectivity with Europe in Ka-band, will respond to high-growth applications that include GSM backhaul and Internet access for enterprises and public agencies.

It depends on your tweaking ability

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by textme: 4:17pm On Oct 11, 2011
Thanks Gadotor, Obnelly and Williams85 for your comments,  The issue is not colour settings on My television set. I Used an LCD screen with a particular picture Mode(VIVID) The source being Koan decoder and strong 4669x and the input is through RCA cable(Not HDMI or Component) The decoder resolution was set to 1080p for the two respectively. The distinction is very clear, i also experimented with different Video players(Sony,Lg) within my reach on the same standard Picture mode on Television. There is a great difference on the display.
  If there are other members of the forum who might have had  similar experiments with other receivers, please share i cherish good pictures aside receiver's capabilities.

Could it be that the kaon is a fake? I saw a strong 4663x one time which not only had such color problems but also had bad aspect ration problems as well.

season 5 redirected here,, hmm , must have missed alot

@ all, I dont desire to take some of u aback by asking questions already answered,

but as you would know, I cant go thru all 5 episodes, thus pardon me for asking this JJC question,

I have a 90cm dish and a smaller one making two- I was using to get some east africa station (they call it madagasca) while the other was for w4

The workings were always troublesome - I didnt enjoy a thing there,

So please what FTA channels can I get with these dishes ? I have a 4663X strong receiver and a dstv one with an unmapped card

I am willing to get another 90cm dish and a different decoder if advised thus, thanks

Okay guy,
for starters if you really want real FTA . . then any of the 69 series is a must have . . Mpeg4 is the way for now.
just above W4 is astra 2b with a lot of FTA channels just read the reference thread

Hello big willy:
For sure AB3 is close to Sirius and W3a or from NSS7, while standing behind your 1.8m move it to the left and slightly upwards.

@All, ma baad, STV1 and2 from Douala are both wxing strong on AB3, it was just a temporal glitch. Thankx.

KTN is not back on AB3 and their signal on that satellite have always been so epileptic. They are back in one hour and in next one week they disappear. STV 1 and 2 are rocking strongly.

Go to Sobis shop either in Lagos or Onitsha. They are one of the biggest Mytv distributor in the countary. They never compromise, you will always buy original Strong product from them.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Iron2011: 12:59pm On Oct 12, 2011
U have to verify it from the mytv's verification side using it serial number. use this:http://www.mytvportal.net/stronggenuine.aspx
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Sophieamore1(f): 2:03pm On Oct 12, 2011
@IRON2011,
VERIFY WHAT?
YOU JUST HEARD SOBIS ARE ONE OF THE BIGGEST DISTRIBUTORS OF STRONG PRODUCTS HERE IN NIGERIA, AND YET YOU STILL DOUBT THEM.
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE GHANANIAN, BECAUSE IF YOU ARE NIGERIAN AND YOU HAVE PURCHASED PRODUCTS FROM THEM YOU WOULD NOT POST THIS.
@LOVALA, IT LOOKS LIKE CAMEROUN IS ALSO FILLED UP WITH FAKE PRODUCTS, BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING OF FAKE PRODUCTS ALSO.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by cantell(m): 3:22pm On Oct 12, 2011
^^Na fight?
It's just an added precaution. He should verify after buying.
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by kuntash: 3:57pm On Oct 12, 2011
^^^^ I concur, 

I tried doing that verification on my current 4663x and couldnt see d details required from strong url.

would get intouch with Sobis, just seen in on strong site.

@ sophie

I think iron2011 meant no harm therefore i believe you came down on him too strongly. Also i happen to find it amazing that all your post seem to be in bold letters.

Does your keyboard or pad not have small leters. Also i thought it was against the foundation of this forum. grin grin

@ iron

How now. Your Voda is down. Any reason.

@ sathob

I say thanks for the last time.

@ all

lets be one and forge ahead.

I salute all
