Mecussey,

i think Nash mentioned dry cell, maintenance free batteries because of these problems u outlined, they are similar to the ones already in the ups but have a bigger capacity, so the issue of acid spillage or accidental fires are pretty much negligible, but still it is a valid advice. when i was in 2/300 levels, i had a wet cell which i used to power my deck and the lights in my room, so i have first hand knowledge of the problems of such wet cells, and getting the right charger took me months of experimenting. anyways, dry cells it will be when the time comes.
PS: what exactly is this 3-step charging system you're talking about and how does one recognise it?

Igwe Pitodenz,

I need clarification.

I am thinking of switching to C-Band from Ku-Band, what channels will be available to me (including premiership) here in Port Harcourt?

Thank you.

shanumark:

Is it possible to know the cost of installing C-Band (total)?

I was thought in school then that passing information to people in form of pictures stick so well in the brains compared to when words alone were used, thats the major reason i've adopted this new technique.

There's a major problem problem encountered by viewers concerning polarisation on their decoder.I will cite an instance, sometimes last year the frequency of MSNBC on lyngsat was 12728H 30000SR, but now if you checked the lyngsat the pol says its now V check this link for confirmation http://www.lyngsat.com/ew3a.html, the problem there is that before you try to track any satellite first confirm the system information of your decoder i.e the software version, if your using a decoder that has a softwre version of august 2007, some polarisation of some satellite will surely vary, but if you have the version of either jan 2008 or june 2008, you must use the polarisation u can see on lyngsat.
This problwem has to do with globecast africa frequency the pol someone gave here sometimes ago was V, and i wasted almost about 4 days trying to check out what the problem was with my decoder because i couldnt get the signal right especially during the day when its most active, so i decided to change the pol to H one evening and here i was with about 85% signal strength, so also i rememebered the feeds freq of deeper life church igave some weeks back that was the reason i said during the period when its active you still couldnt get the signal try to change your pol vice-versa, the pol that worksfor me was V,and didnt work for others instead H did, and i noticed that those that H worked for has the latest software version on their decoder. The patch of that nilesat posted some months back by badaru i think automatically updates the version on your decoder.
The basis of this finding is that whenever a new feeds freq or channel freq is given out and u still couldnt get that using the pol given by the poster, my advice is that first confirm from someone if the signal is active and if it is and the problem still persists try change your POLARITY.

got to go now will be back on thursday for more info, keep the thread alive

My dish is on a hanging pool,about 8m above the ground.

shanumark:

Could you please assist me with the frequencies with which you're picking those stations.

Biko.

Try using 11611V,SR3307.You have to do a blind scan like 3times to get more channels,most of the channels I have were doubled I still do not know how,e.g STV1&2 appeared twice.

Pls Gurus in the house,what kind of dish can someone use in getting Eurobird 1 at 28.5°E[/color][color=#990000][color=#990000][/color]
