@ Segunod. You mean you get all that on terrestial antenna? Why not use that with booster and remote control. It will be clearer but not as satellite tv o.

@ all. Where can I get NTA, AIT or silverbird as FTA on ku ? I have a dish i want 2 dedicate 2 that Pls.

@ Olis. To track with strong decoder, go 2 menu-installation-manual scanning. Select the sat u wish 2 track if the name is among the sat list otherwise, go 2 blank sat name. Now you may not see the tp u want 2 use among those already on the decoder. Just press "add tp" on d remote. It will show u where 2 enter freq and sr. Change the polarity if need be. Then press ok 2 save. Nb: to enter a 4 digit sr, remember to add 0 in front. Eg to enter 4123, press 04123. To track w3, use Mbc or Tv Zimbo tp. Just read back and u'll see d tps. Get back 2 d House 2 let us know how it goes with u.

@ princeparis sorry about your blown dishes. Have you install them now.
Pls help me with RDV tp. I dont have it on my ew3a/sirius setup.
I just discovered that my goafrica and tv magadasca show in turn. If one is showing, the other skips. Does anyone has an explanation 4 this?

@ all please which match will be on Mbc this weekend?

@ princeparis. If u are hooked to the bird, just blindscan. All receivable tps will pop up.

@ Priceparis. One thing you should know is that these small dishes are offset dishes. The lnb is not at the centre of the dish but tilted 2 a side. Are you sure u r getting full signal ? You should be able to get at least 95% on sirius if your lnb is good. I hope you dont have signal problem on nss7. Good luck.

@ Jsm. Messir! I used 2 get those signal when i hooked 2 sirius alone but not anymore. They even showed etv sometimes. Have you checked out the new f2view channels. It's like they'll be free.

@ sirius users its like free2view is going 2 add new channels- casino and f2v mosaic. I hope they will be free

@ JMS u said sirius is more entertaining than w3a? How many channel do you get on sirius besides the promo channels? How many of them are English speakin? I'm not challenging your opinion but to me, i prefer w3a even if I don't consider sport.
I use single 90 cm dish/lnb for both birds. I get all channels I used to get when I was using it on w3 alone except go tv and I still get all on sirius except the 2 feed I used 2 get. F2v use to turn red when I tune in but I just leave it 4 few seconds and it comes up. I learn those hooked 2 w3 alone are not even getting gotv anymore. What Im I loosing? God bless FTA!

Pofolo. Have u checked the audio language and the left and right channels? Sometimes one of these may cause it but I will check when I get home.

Rextab. I use one lnb 4 both sats. But go africa not even coming up at all. I am planning 2 use 2 lnbs but after reading your post, i will just leave it as it is. I still get free2view, canals and load of promo channels on sirius. I think is better one uses a seperate 45 cm dish 4 sirius and dedicate d 90CM 2 sirius.

Sorry I meant sirius users. Just blind scan and it will pop up

All rescan your decoder. There is a new channel called e. I think its the same e on pas7,10ku before. If I'm permited I would have posted the freq.

Please I will need one o

I raise cap 4 u guys o. U have set a record in Africa, and the world at large! We must definate commission this officially. Well done!

@ Candyman
please what is the minimum size of dish to track w2a?

@ Usal Hitv dishes are 60am but minimum dish requirement 4 w3a is 90cm

@ Urfriend. Why u de make people distrust u more and more? Every body knew u would not, you cannot show it. Why do u now deceive pple that u will show it? I so much distrust you hithieves or whatever u call urself. It's a pity you call yourselves a Nigerian coy. U cant show Nigerian match. WHAT A NIGERIAN COMPANY! Proudly Nigerian indeed.

@ all will 2 lnb do after on a 90 cm dish 4 sirius and w3a? If yes, can somebody direct me on how 2 set d 2nd lnb? Tanks in advance
@ Adeexy
I dont think there is restriction on posting of price here. But 2 be on a safer side, go to 'FTA market and post the price.

@spacevice. I'm so happy 4u o. U r like a week baby who started walking lol! Are u still asking what 2 do with d dish? Why dont you just dash me! Don't hesitate 2 nail nss7 with it o. How many channels did u get on d birds? U can be sure of watching ACN now. I wish u happy viewing.

For details of channels on Eutelsat w3a, check www.lyngsat.com. The gurus usually advise that you should track Sirius 1st as it is easier 2 track then use it as a refrence point for w3a.
After you have nailed and mount the dish, connect the cable to your decoder. Then go 2 menu>installation>set tp or tp set up, name of a sat will be highlighted. Press ok and scroll to new sat1, press ok again to select it. Scroll down to the next line where the tps are, u will see some colours down the screen eg red add tp, green delete tp etc. Press the color that stand for add tp. You now see space where to enter the tp. Then the sr and put the correct polarity then save it but dont exit. It will now show the signal strengt and quality. Then do the dish adjustment. See the tps posted on the previous posts and how u can determine the position using hitv as a reference point. Font forget hitv/DSTV are both on Eutelsat w4 at 36 degree east, pas 7,10 on 68.5 degree east sirius and Eutelsat w3a are on 7 and 4.8 degree east respectively. Happy tracking!
Just connect the dish alone directly to the decoder. After you have successfuly tracked the bird, you can then do the diseqc connection and settings.

I bought a 90cm strong dish and lnb for #4000. I hope d price is a little 2 high.
I need better lnb than strong. Which should I go 4, where and how much can I get it?

@ Princeparis. It's about 200 to 300 Naira from any shop selling satellite tv materials. You should remember 2 buy like 5 rf connectors and cable.
The connection goes thus:
1. Cable from dish 1 to diseqc input 1, cable from dish 2 to disecq input 2, then disecq output to your decoder lnb in. Pls note the disecq input port no. of the dish (satellite). For example, if your 60cm is faced to pas 7,10, the cable should be connected 2 no 1. The 90cm hooked 2 w3a should be to port 2 of the disecq switch.
W3a is Eutelsat w3a but I don't know if it is no your decoder. If not, just use one of the newsat down the satellite list 4 w3a. You will need 2 input the tracking frequency then latter blind scan. I hope u know how 2 track? Read previous posts for more details. When light is restored I'll check my hitv decoder menu and post how to input the frequency manually on the decoder. If you have any question, dont hesitate to post. Happy tracking. Lest I forget, i bought my 90cm strong dish 4 4000 with lnb. Depending on your location, you should be able 2 get it like 3to3.5k.

U can use 2,3 or 4 dishes on a decoder but u will need a diseqc switch.
If u can afford, buy another 90cm dish then you can enjoy those satellites otherwise, you can either hook up 2 pas 7,10 or nss7. You can still enjoy yourself. By the way, what is the make of your decoder? Strong or hitv?

You can enjoy host of FTA channels provided you have the right decoder and dish. I was once a slave 2 hitv until my eyes were opened in this forum. I now use my hitv decoder for pas7,10ku. Even though the FTA channels on it are mostly religious. I've just bought a 90cm dish and hope 2 add sirius or/one w3a tomorrow or next. If your decoder is the same as mine, then all you need do is change the dish direction 2 any of these birds and you are free from the bondage of monthly subscription. Whatever u decide, just post your experience 4 other 2 learn.

Pls anyone watching sirius and w3a should kindly give strong tp for each bird. I need 2 change from pas 10 asap. God bless.

Very funny! I used mobile phone so the time was not displayed!

I need a 1.8m or 2.4m strong motorized dish. Where can I get it and how much? I'm based in Kogi.

How about creating a thread titled "FTA EQUIPMENT MARKET"? All who wants 2 buy/sell will just go there instead of coming 2 this main thread. Oga moderator, how u see my suggestion?
