Finally tracked Apstar 7@76.5E, it is a joy to watch if you like movies. Got few movie channels on Thaicom 5 as well, opened them with Biss Keys, which was surprisingly easy to get. I also attempted Sony Six and Kix package at intelsat 17 @66e but wasn't getting steady signal, it goes green, red, green, red, Couldn’t display well but other channels were fine though nothing to enjoy there. I have no problems with Sony @ Intelsat.20 68.5E so I stopped there, with Thaicom 5, Apstar 7, intelsat 17 & 20 I am more than satisfied.

No, my dish couldn't move down further, I believe if I had more room, I would've gotten more on Thaicom 5. I got about 100 working and stable stations there. Some tps couldn't come up.

Just noticed I got DDTV from the 3 you mentioned but there is nothing interesting about the station. Personally, I don't think Thaicom worth much.

Good work,and comparing those 4 sats, IS 20 and Apstar 7 have far more exciting packages than IS 17 & thaicom5.

U can get arabsat 5a with ur 3.5m,firstly track with Maghreb beam tp of 12566 h 2960 with 75-80% and input ur target tp (pan-arab beam)or run a blindscan. Ur lnb should be skewed at 2 o'clock or 8 o'clock.

Hello Guru in the house, kindly guide me on how to track Apstar 7 & Thaicom. Attached is the picture of my current set up. The centre is Fuji Star Gold for Ku band, the upper Strong C Band is for other normal C Band channels while the lower is for IS 20@68.5e. Do I need to attach another C Band LNB to get Apstar and how? I would appreciate your prompt response.

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Talenty(m): 8:05am On Aug 24, 2015
@Truly1, what satellite is the upper Cband and the Ku band lnb connected to

The upper C Band is for all normal channels like EATV, Citizen, TVChad, Channels, VOA, NTA, former IRIB (Arabsat 20e) etc. and you know the dish is motorised. The Ku is for Xtian Channels, Glow TV, DSTV, Multi TV, Amos 5, Muvi TV, Ses 5, Nilesat 101 (but it doesn't get MBCs), Canalsat etc. Pls let me know if I can get more as s die hard FTA guy, thanks.

Hello house, i did carry out a surgery work on my dish this past weekend with one of the best and very amiable, gentle gurus around Umassor, by name. i wasn't satisfied with my signal on hotbird especially with fox sport at 56%. So on that wet saturday ..just imagine Umassor his brother and i set out to work, it was very lively, fun watching him at work. We tried about 12 different LnBs jus to see the best of them, this are high end LnBs, just to mention a few, we had inverto utra, fuji star gold, digisat, old fuji, etc. we tried them one after the other. it was so much fun seeing what signal percentage each one of the LNBs gave us. After series of tape measurement, adjusting here and there, bolts, angle inclination, and so on and despite the drizzling rain we where able to add wait...8% gain on foxsport, from 56 to 64 on a 3meter dish. even on my hispasat that i was formally getting 56-57 jump to 64% too. On hotbird initially i had about 950 channels suddenly jumped to 1,049 channels, also i was getting about 84 channels on Hispasat suddenly jumped to 139 channels, even Nilesat dat i was having 134 stations suddenly became 254, i said wao!! this cant be true, this a good testimony to the fact that you can always achieve more when u put your best into somting you love and that 3 heads is better than one. which LNB did the job? its d oneway star gold LNB.. the old type ooo. most of the new ones are fake. My humble Appreciation goes to my brother, my friend UMASSOR Wilson the only guy i know that has tracked PTVSPORT in lagos with 4meter, who despite the rain came all the way to my base , to you brother too, to my sweet wife who provided entertainment for us i say thank you and God bless.
