@Enitan

Rennes v Lyon totally free today on TV Monde @22w --- from 5.10 PM Nigerian time.

@ Enigma,
i just dont know what happened to RDV, it just went scrambled some minutes to the match btw bolton/man utd, do you know any keys that can unlock all the channels under canalsat?

Hi enigma,
am currently watching lyon/rennes match on tv5, but rdv is still scrambled. wetin i fit do?

Enitan

Sorry about RDV

There is politics in this FTA v Pay TV malarkey. The Pay TV companies like Sky, Canalsat, DSTV etc want to collect our money; so they put pressure on the FTA stations as far as some programmes are concerned - especially football. They pressurise them to encrypt such things. In fairness, the contracts of the FTA channels tend to have some restrictions --- and this is another reason they encrypt. English Premiership is the biggest challenge for a lot of FTA/Sat enthusiasts world-wide ---- though in some parts, especially Europe, FTA/Sat enthusiasts have been winning for some time now.

As for Canalsat on 22w, I have to be honest with you that its keys will be difficult to find ---- simply because the people who source the keys are mostly in Europe and the 22w Canalsat is not priority since most people in Europe don't bother with it or cannot receive that beam of the satellite in the 1st place.

I will bet you that once the match is over RDV will be back open fully FTA again.

@ enigma
True to your words, rdv is back on air, on your own part what do you think i can do for now?

There is hope that packages like Canalsat might soon be open. The reason is this: the packages that enthusiasts in Europe rely upon e.g. D+, TV Cabo, Premiere are beginning to tighten up (TV Cabo is already totally down and some D+ channels are now gone too --- all gone to Nagra3). What people here are saying is that once all those go; the 'key guys' will turn their attention to other packages possibly including Canalsat etc in the meantime until they are able to open Nagra 3.

So, hang in there for a while; I will keep my ears open and if I hear any news about Canalsat being open, I will post the news here.


On a different note; are you going to add a 2nd lnb for Trend TV; you can use sello tape to hold it up as pitodenz suggested.

If any dealer/s in satellite dishes ever read this thread, I hope they will consider importing a dish like that in the link for the Nigerian market as it is quite relatively cheap.

@ enigma,
concerning the 2nd lnb, i think i'll give it a try by december, thanks so much, just keep yur ears to d ground for learners like us.

@ enitan,
     i encourage ur search on nss7ku.
     @ enigma,
            like how much ll the technomate cost in naija.
in p.h her5e there's one new digital cable channel that shows all the premiership through showtime since premiership started and they re free on air here in p.h.they show about 46 channels including all the shows package.but today all their showsports channels were down leaving other show channels open,i think the sports channel we come back after premiership,plzz if ther's new key for showtime somebody should post it here. i think hitv hand is on this.

@ pit,
that was what enigma explained in his last post, av u gotten rtg on nss7. which particular satellite u dey face sef?

@Pitodenz

The Technomate 5400 costs about between £100-120 so roughly N25,000; I think the Strong is good too though.

Also, Showtime is still down --- for most people; not just in Naija.

@Enitan

The best I can do for now re Canalsat is in this link from 2005; you can try it (since you never know) but I don't expect it to work. I would have tried it first but I don't presently get 22w.

Thanks for this post because it now seems to explain what one guy was saying on another thread. Basically what is happening is this: this Digital Cable Company has a dish aligned to Nilesat; from there they can get the Showtime package; they then redistribute and sell it through some kind of antenna/decoder system.

Be warned: do NOT buy such a thing; it will only work if and when the keys of Showtime are known. In fact, I believe that you can already get Nilesat/Showtime as well (apart from no keys for Showtime); so 1. what is the difference between you and the cable company and (2) why pay for something that you have exactly already?

@ enigma,
u said it all, most people have already fallen for the guy's scheme not con this time around,wetin u fit call am sef? i said it is nt possible if there exists no cable provider where u live, abi no be so,enigma?

enitan u sèf fall for that guy too o, enigma is there any key for conax for mytv channels.

@ Fadinus,
i no fall 4 d guy's trick at all, try read my posts 4 dat again, and u'll see for urself.

@ Badaru

How many channels can you get on 55w?

If your receiver has 'blind scan' you should blind scan the satellite (or use Lyngsat); there is some football on TV Capixaba also on that sat.

please can you give me information on anybody that can help fix this free to air stuff in ibadan i dont have the time n knowledge to fix it myself . phone numbers contacts will be highly appreciated
thanks

Hello fellas! I have been busy at work for national security. I have just updated my self since the last time I was on. My observations and Contributions: Though this thread is free, I notice that some of us do more of the work while others just breeze in and out,asking premium ques and disappearing.
This thread is all about FTA and not about .9m dish. I believe it is high time we move from theory to practical,as I have read about some fellas who installed their dish themselves-I also installed a 1.8m dish over the weekend for a guy-he paid me 3k-I used the money to buy my tools for dish installation-I am going part time pro.

Pole mount 1.8m dish goes for 8,500 to 9k,ground mount goes for8k. Srt4651x goes for 7,500,lnb700, diseq300

@ all the experts

can someone please tell me how to input keys on skysat sk-201. i hope someone will answer me this time. my dish is pointed to nilesat

please fellas check this link, gives us the ability to buy showtime subscription on Nilesat. I believe it will be cheaper if sold from the usa.
Solidus who are you,you can't just jump in and jump out introduce your self to the experts as you call them

biggjoe24@yahoo.com
We really need to get to bigjoe.above is his email.My network went down so I coudnt mail him.Indeed he has started what can never die. We will diminish the likes of dstv through what bigjoe started. I hail him!

Hi everyone,
Jujukemist does have a point, all some of us seem to do is ask questions and then disappear, well, but u have to bear in mind that one can only contribute what one does have, and no shame in asking afterall, na the only way when some of us fit use learn anything at all be that.
sha-sha, it seems as if u can't install firmwares via a usb flash cos i tried doing just that this weekend but it kept telling me 'memory error'. but i was able to install some other smaller sized softwares. wonder if it has something to do with the size of the internal flash of the decoder?
it's funny how 3 channels were showing the chelsea v derby match by evening (mbi, gtv and one more i can't remember right now), while earlier in the day, u couldn't get to watch the liverpool or manutd games on any of the FTA channels, i mean if u are gonna block something, u might as well block everything. (chelsea fans wouldn't agree though)

Another thing is that i didn\t know the aljazeera sport channels available on fta didn't show la liga matches, i discovered when it was too late to do anything about it, i wonder how the keys to those channels are gotten?

anyway, i'm still trying to pass decoder101 - how to patch it with a new xoftware, guess i have to do that via a computer i guess.

ONE LOVE

@ jujukemist
seems you can assist with the instalation stuff pls can u get accross to me on akinyemiree@yahoo.com . so we can discuss

You guys are wonderful.
It is intreasting, I need to get this equipment and come for more advice.

Pls can anyone post or give the link where i can get any software to patch my strong decoder. Enitan and Enigma abeg u can help too.

@fadinus

See Posts numbers 200 & 244 in this same thread (remember to be careful so as not to damage your receiver).

@ enigma,

quite a long time i've been on this thread, i've been in school. I still appreciate the work you guys are doing here and the suggestion someone made earlier that while some guys are working some are busy posting questions, if you dont have any dish installed no matter how small it is, you dont have to post any questions, cos i guessed all your questions to be asked must have been answered if you go through the replies from the beginning.

@ badaru,

i called you over the weekend complaining of that RDV station that got scrambled at the beginning of the match bolton/man utd and you promised to call me back, but you didnt, wetin happen now?


@ all_experts,

is it now that for the mean time there is no hope for those using 90cm, in getting more channels?

dont attack me oooooo, am just being curious
