Definately u'll get a parking space in a rented apartment for ur car but it might not be d case for a dish. Some landlords will never allow u install even a 60cm dish in their house. If u're lucky to get a nice landlord, be grateful. It isn't about money, bro.
What is the point in renting an apartment where you are not allowed to install a mere 60cm dish? The worst I have heard is the landlord will instruct the tenant to mou t it on a pole so that the wall of the building would not be defaced. If a landlord does not want tenant to bring personal effects, he should just stay in the entire apartment all by himself. Or better still provide community dish networked for each apartment.

sometimes it is profitable to ask questions, than to jump into talking too much.

The reference to being a landlord is simple related to the fact that the size of the dish is large, and will take a lot of space. Something that will not sit well with a landlord. and not about money.

Abi where have you ever seen a landlord, especially in lagos, who doesn't mind his tenant erecting all sorts of space taking rubbish in his property?

Better delete this nonsense you have written about upgrading mentality. Its you that need to upgrade your common sense level. I dunno how much you have ever made in your life sef that your blood is boiling. You get money na him u no fit pay for DSTV
Common 1.8m dish erected on a pole that a car can comfortably park underneath is what you think will consume all the space in a compound. Grow up. 1.8m dish is not a BUD. Am sure u dont know the definition of big dish, mr common sense.

Ismy5000:
if you are d landlord of ur house. u can get 1.8 metre dish for sp24 and others . or contact an installervin your area to help you do d job. 25 to 30K should be enough
So who is not yet a Landlord cannot buy 1.8m dish in his house at the rate of 25 to 30k as you said? What about those who are not landlords but are riding clean cars and jeep worth millions of naira in their landlords house? Which is bigger and more expensive? We need to upgrade our mentality seriously.

Hello ppl in d house, please which satellite will I track to get free catoon channels in English?
Track Apstar 76.5 degree East to get first class cartoon channels u will need to pay a premium subscription for in Dstv. They are completely free with Powervu keys and in English language. You will need a Cband Lnb with a minimum of 2.4m dish. Goodluck.

chinedu is right .About a year ago, i have 7w as primary on my 1.8m dish attached with 16e and 28e.so in satellite world wonders take place everyday.with patience,determination and perfection,u can achieve impossibilities in satellite world.Reporting from Abuja-Nigeria
Also about 3 years ago, 2013 to be precise I had 7W as my primary signal on 1.8m prime focus dish, attached with 4.8E, 7E, 16E, 28E, 22W. It looms crazy but they all had perfect signal quality. It made my neighbours so envious and convetous. Great and strange things do happen in the satelkite world.

It surprises me when people suffer for nothing. Usually men don't value what they get easily.

Multi tv is free on 60cm dish, easy to track with 90% on all decoders. They show foreign movies, home movies (naija and ghana), they have BBC and Aljazeera on Joy news, they show EPL, UCL and Europa, no biss no power vu just thrills. Wetin una dey find again?
Multi Tv is not qualitative and quantitative for a true satellite enthusiast. They only show 1 Epl match on saturdays which is not good enough. All through the week, they only show 1 la liga early kick off on sunday which is not good enough. On Uefa champions league week, they only show one champions league match on wednesday which is poor. Of the various Europa league matches, they only air 1 match. The other top league matches and cup games are not covered. Let me not even talk about the luxury of watching live Wwe wrestling from the comfort of your home which almighty Dstv cannot afford. They hav no dedicated channel for cnn, bbc, sky news etc. Even their movie channels cannot be compared to the almighty Mbc channels.
There are more free and coded channels receiveable for technical guys like us which we simply csnt ignore because THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE.

I have done all that I could, I received ABS 3A with 68% and yet I couldn't track Eutelsat 7 West A (MBC's). I snaily moved the dish right gently both to no avail as instructed above. Just don't know what I am doing wrong. I have changed from 90 cm blue colored DSTV dish to 1 m Startime dish. Could it be my decoder or the dish size or my LNB. I'm using Original strong SRT 4940 with MYTV smartcard. Used both 11474/11476 tp with frq 27,500. Please need help!
I will advice you do your tracking with another decoder. Preferably Strong 4669 or 4922A. You also need to track with a new cable. Pls avoid eagle star rg 6 cable.

That Lnb is 200% Ku and not cband as you thought. It was specifically made for Nilesat. I will recommend you use it for 1.8 or 2.4 pan dishes.

Pls I want 2 ask a question & I don't want anyone 2 b angry, because I don't that is y I'm asking. dis is my question d MBC on 7w how many channels are on it, I mean d total channel & is it possible to add another sat with it? thanks to everyone dat will respond, I'm xpecting.
The only enjoyable channels on mbc package are the mbc channels, which offers the best movies that can be comoared to Dstv premium.
Secondly, standing behind ur dish, uou can attach a 2nd lnb to give you Startimes and Ses 5 package. The lnb should be attached to the lnb the same way multi tv lnb is attached to dstv dish.

Hello guys, can DSTV 90cm dish track Sp24 channels? Or I should go for Startimes 1m dish?

Where can I get Conical Scalar Ring in Abuja?

Thank you.
To track Sport 24 easily, use Startimes 1 metre dish. Call Solomon on 08099209944 for your Conical scaler ring. He is at Utako, opposite the Utako market. I hope that answers your question.

You heard me say, 'if you are good'. It's not easy but if you are good in tracking, it's not such a difficult task. If you are watching IS20 with your 1.8m then Apstar is possible. Again attached lnbf can achieve higher gain than prime-focused lnbf, reason is simply the same reason why Offset dishes get higher gain than prime focus. So, whoever told you that it's not possible isn't a good satellite tracker.
Pls Chinedu drop your contact details with me so I can contact you to install Apstar for me. Betterstill, you can flash my no. 08129700109 So I can call you back. Thanks in anticipation.

It's not always the case. All 1m, 1.8m, 2.4m dishes are not the same, what makes some different from others is their makers' expertise in molding them. One day buy 2 different makes of 1m, try and put them together, you will see they won’t lap because they are from different makers. Those little details stand some apart when it comes to nailing tough channels.
I will give you another example, the same DSTV 90cm is an expert in getting SES 5 and Eutelsat 7A together with one lnb what Consat's 1m can't do. After investigating problems when tracking 7w, I concluded that some dishes perform better in that. Some people haven't been able to track it with 1m while I have ABS 3, 7W with mbc @ 65% and 22w all in one dish(DSTV 90cm), it's no coincidence, it has a reason.
I have made my point, if you don't want to spend 3 empty days in hot sun, if you see DSTV 90cm buy it, within 30mins you will have your MBCs in your home.
Pls Bro where is your location? And are there any free channels on 22°W (Canalsat I presume) apart from Ntv 2 that shows music and African Footbal?
Thanks in anticipation of your prompt response.

20,000 for MBC west. Incredible, I am not even sure he will get it because if he's sure of that he wouldn't have mentioned sure figure.
Use this 11475v 27500
Dish type is important in getting this bird, if you have DSTV 90cm, Use it, most 1m dish even find it difficult. With DSTV 90cm you will surely smile.
How can it be possible with 90cm but difficult with 1m dish? Its kinda strange, cos I thought in FTA the bigger the better, fuller, and easier? I was thinking of buying 1m dish
