Even when I increased the quality of the Al Jazeera it still cracking so I think it's a matter of sacrifices one channel to get the other. I can't still track the bein sport on the tstv position. Please give me the tp and position to track this bein sport. I have tried the whole day
BeIN is off at present. I'll let you when they are back.

Please are you getting Investigation discovery on your. channel list?

Surely you can. I intentionally post this question just to know how many people really know that DStv decoder can do just more than showing you only DStv channels. It can as well be used to watch free to air channels. Follow this steps to unlock the free to air power of DStv decoder:

How to Track Any Free to Air Channels On DSTV HD Decoders

First make sure you have tracked the free to air satellite you want to watch, they include TSTV, Nigcomsat, Media 7/ Multitv/Joy TV, amongst others, the choice is yours and also depends on you dish size. 60cm or 90cm dish is ok for the above mention free to air satellite. After tracking, follow these step below;

- Remove the ‘LNB in’ cable at the back of the DSTV decoder.
- Switch ON the decoder and ignore the message on the TV screen telling you ‘there is no signal’.
- Press the DSTV MENU Blue button on the decoder’s remote controller.
- While on the menu, go to ‘SETTINGS’.

- Select ‘SATELLITE SETTING’.
- Choose ‘ADDITIONAL NETWORKS’.
- Select ‘NETWORK 1’.
- Change ‘Enable Network’ to ‘YES’.
- Now you will notice that other information in the network 1 window is editable.
- Now Go to frequency and input the free to air satellite TV frequency you want to track.
- Move over to symbol rate and input the symbol rate digits.
- Change the polarization to that of the satellite you want to track. Leave NIT on and FEC = 5 over 6
- Connect back the signal cable to your decoder
- After you must have received the signal; select ‘SCAN THIS’.

- Kindly Wait for the scanning to complete.
- Press navigation button bring up the channel ‘GRID’ and you will see the free to air channels added to the bottom of the list.
- Now Select the channel you want to watch and enjoy.
While DStv does not support Disecq Switch to watch different satellite at the same time, however , you could only view one satellite which is connected in Disecq 1 or A of your diseq switch.

Repeat above procedures to scan more channels on other TP using other Additional Networks 2, 3, 4, 5 on the decoder
Nice insight.
Never knew it's possible.
thanks

Axle oil too

As for your No.3, The transmission oil can be guaged by starting the car, holding the brakes, putting the gear in either drive or reverse, then check the dipstick

Dont make the mistake of checking the transmission fluid when the engine is not running.

Or you'll end up buying a new gearbox
I thought the right way is to allow the engine cool of before checking or changing transmission fluid.

You mean someone can not check the transmission level with the dipstick without starting the car engine?

No you can't. The decoder is programmed for only DSTV channels.
PoliticsRe: Osinbajo To Represent Nigeria At Mugabe’s State Funeral Saturday by Avedonn:
Their presence won't be given much attention at the funeral because Nigeria is now an ordinary African country all thanks to their obnoxious internal and foreign policy.

I still remember vividly how Nigeria used to command respect in Africa and even on the world stage during Obasanjo's administration. Almost every week African leaders must visit Nigeria for one thing or the other. Even foreign presidents like George Bush, Tony Blair, Vladimir Putin etc.

Hate him or like him, Obasanjo was charismatic leader that command so mush respect among his peers back in the days. Unlike the present coward we have as a president.

The Buhari I know will never turn down such travelling opportunity without a reason behind it. And the reason is very clear. He knows if he attend the funeral his path will cross with the South African president and Nigerians will realise that he has been faking anger about the xenophobic attack so to avoid the backslash, he decided to delegate the vice president to attend on his behalf.
PoliticsRe: Political Appointment Saga: Seun Onigbinde Cannot Leave Twitter — Budgit’s Spoke by Avedonn:
what's the difference between delete and deactivation.

Well, I'm not surprise by the man's action because our version of politics in Africa is "politics without ideology".

Just last week Boris Johnson‘s younger brother, Jo Johnson, resigned from his roles as Member of Parliament and cabinet minister, saying he has been torn between family loyalty and the national interest due Brexit deadlock.

Imagine someone holding such juicy position resigned to uphold his political ideology. I'm certain this will never happen in Nigeria. in fact, if Buhari decided to give FFK or Reno political appointment, they'll gladly accept it and start praising his inept administration.

Same with Garba Shehu abandoning his benefactor for years Atiku and pitching tent with Buhari just because of money.

We still have a long way to go in Africa.

Car TalkRe: 20W50 Oils! Read And Stop Demonizing It. by Avedonn: 10:57am On Sep 12, 2019
I sure 90% of Nigerian car owners use 20W50 for years and nothing happen to their car engine. For instance, if you take a market survey, the availability of 20W50 to synthetic oil is 1to 20.

So if 20W50/works for you, then keep on using and also if synthetic oil work for you keep using it as well.

Lies. In your earlier post, you asked that he clear the codes and if the issue(s) persists, he can ask for help.

Clearing/wiping the codes is different from resolving the issues identified by the codes. Some persons always believe that clearing/wiping the codes will make the issues/problems vanish. Doing this may only provide temporary relief but the problems will persists until they are resolved.
Lol you don't have to call me that to make your point.

A sound mind will know that clearing means resolving. If the problem is resolved, the codes will clear.

So what I mean by clearing, means resolving. I hope you now understand.

PoliticsRe: Twitter User Calls El-Rufai "A Liar". He Reacts (See Tweets) by Avedonn:
You guys are giving this guy too much attention by following all his activities. He now feels like a political celebrity of some sort.

Please nairaland Mods, if you don't have any important news to update the front page with, please just leave it as it's than updating rubbish news.

Some of the front page topics is really sickening and it's making matured minds to become ghost readers while it kept on attracting juveniles.

I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't update the kids forum members with their BBnaija and local artist news, but it shouldn't be frequent.

I noticed lately that whenever someone is seeking for serious advise, the kids will hijack the first page spewing all sort of rubbish. Someone can only find a meaningful opinion on page 3 and above of the topic.

Please Mods do something about this.
Car TalkRe: The Fuel Consumption In My Honda Accord 2006, 4 Plugs Is Alarming by Avedonn: 4:02pm On Sep 11, 2019
Since you've scanned and discover the codes, why don't you clear them and if the excessive fuel consumption did not stop, then you ask for help.

The Honda accord 2003-2007



The I4 models are very sturdy , occasionally you cold find them with transmission issues, but comparatively an inexpensive replacement hovering around ₦150k total package.

As a rule, avoid Aluminum engines with graphite gaskets (if you don't know ask).

The V6 model. I am yet to see a Nigerian used one for sale that didn't have a defective transmission.

Transmission failure and the accord V6 are like agege bread and Ewa goin.
Thanks for the review.
Car TalkRe: Are There Cheap Nigerian Used Cars? by Avedonn:
But bad as it's, Honda is still better than Toyota Camry especially the new model of Camry 2007 and above.

Based on the review, people complain of total engine failure, excessive fuel consumption, brake pad, and electrical problems after 80k miles especially 2008 and above models.

Checkout the review of Toyota Camry http://m.carcomplaints.com/Toyota/Camry/

Check other models on the links you'll find the one you can manage.

If you notice carefully, you rarely see 2005, 2006,2010 etc for sale on nairaland auto section.

Lol but the one they kept retreating people not to buy is 2004 and 2003 models.

Just as I requested earlier. Don't understand why oga ignored.
Check out the professional review of all Honda cars I4 engine. From 1976 to 2019. Their problems, the one to buy and not to buy.

Based on what I saw, 2005, 2006, 2015 and 2017 are less problematic than other models.

While the worst and the one they advised people to avoid like plague are 2014, 2013, 2009, 2008, 2003, 2004 models.

Peoples complained about the following mostly:

1. transmission failure

2. brake pad

3. suspension

4. paint peeling

5. electronics malfunction etc.

CelebritiesRe: Hailey Adeleke Is The Most Special Baby – Amanda Shades Davido And Chioma by Avedonn:
Davido should thank his star that he has a rich father, and if push come to shove, he can always run to Nigeria. if not, paying of child support would've derived him insane. Just like how the rapper Bow Wow learned the hard way. He had to cry out that he was bankrupt, yet the system couldn't forgive him.

Impregnating American woman outside wedlock is the greatest misfortune that could turn a man's life upside down cos most of your earning will go to her in the name child support until the child reach 18 years. If you default, you are going to prison straight.


Unlike Nigeria, their system was programmed to favour women. Which is why most black women over there chose to be giving birth outside wedlock like rabbits. They consider it as full-time job.
