Anytime I'm in PH I pity Rivers state as a whole, to think that she is the only livable place in the entire state.
I think the main problem with Rivers state is their over ethnic consciousness. For example, an average ikwerre man cares less even if other parts of Ikwerre land is not developed so far a fellow ikwerre man is in power. Oyigbo man doesn't just give a Bleep as an Ogoni and okirika doesn't smell the government seat even if it means no attention in their land with the ikwerre led government.
The easiest way to know that you are in Rivers state or portharcourt is the constant affirmation of your ethnicity by locals.
You speak, they will affirm your tribe. You sit, same. You eat, same.
They are too ethnic conscious
No disrespect but with all these you said,you don't know much about Rivers state....baba say it's only PH that's livable place ���

Enugu was already a provincial centre for eastern region, even PORT HARCOURT was under that province, but you dare not compare PH with Enugu today, that's how to measure development. This road(IWOFE ROAD) is not even the city centre of PORT HARCOURT but a suburb low class area of the city. And someone would be proud to post nonsense for a town like Enugu that has existed for over 100yrs.
Leave that guy wey sey nothing dey PH outside government house...na "greenry" dey develop city?
make dem chop dia tree and grasses na.

Person come Government house for PH comot again,he say e come PH...no doubt PH suppose better pass like this but comparing Enugu to PH na crime abeg.

Dear friend, I believe that's..."old school"
There are now AV wifi adapters that can do the job well...
Bro...it's not about being old school, it just doesn't make sense to pay for something you're posed to gave for free. Example are the new iphones not coming with a charging brick...is it also old school for not having an adapter? Why would I pay over 7k for a modulator which in some cases is almost 50% of the entire cost of the receiver? maybe TV coys should also discontinue the Ant. port since it's old school.

Dear folks, the extreme nano technology employed in new STBs, have made them very fragile, excessive pressure and heat could destroy a good box. even the touch is "soft touch "
Please , handle all new STBs with care
And it's annoying...what pains me the most is the removal of RF in/out ports and then the unrepairable 3.5mm AV port.

Companies be foolishly copying DSTV,even pained me more when our beloved strong did it too.

We all love that small form factor and sleekness but I wouldn't trade it for the RF ports.

Okay thanks
I need a total different dish.... I can’t use the one I use for my Dstv ?
You can get another dish (60cm) and you it exclusively for the DSTV signal and then use your DSTV dish for a multi lnb setup

If I were to be in your shoes, I will go back to my dish and make sure 11090 V 30000 signal is active ( pop up). If not then I have to address that as the problem. But if the signal on the dish is active/green on my tracker. Then I will know the problem is from my decoder.

So please, use 11090 V 30000 for doing your tracking first . Confirmed you've tracked it, (that exact frequency is showing green on your tracker)

Before going inside the house to scan it on your decoder. Then if your decoder does not see the signal after that. We can then speculate on the decoder being the issue.
Or the cable being bad

My guy nor be small thing back then, imagine someone calling your phone close to twelve midnight. You go even think say him get better thing to discuss. Only for him to say " this my decoder just stopped working while I was watching it " jeez I provoke.. Then I replied with sleeping voice but yet annoyance in my voice " are you paying for subscription ? He said no. Then I replied why are you complaining after using only 5k to enjoy those stations for more than six months. For what people pay huge amount to watch? The guy silent.

Funny enough, a friend back then, told me how someone was stupid enough to call D...tv customer care number. Asking them Why his azsky was not working. My bro that one off me, I nearly hit my car for pole. Because it was too hilarious to imagine how that call went between the guy and the customer care agent. Lol!!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah...... Omor, the days of Qsat, Azsky, Tcam, many Intallers hear am to be honest.
Well, in the South and South East, what was invogue was Sunwin Decoders that was used to decrypt the signals of local cable operators pirating ART prime Sports, Show Sports, Star World and Co from the middle East.
It was just a terrestrial decoder with antenna receiving more than. 30 premium channels from the middle East, no hassles, no dish, no network wahala. all that changed with the shift from analogue to digital though.
It lasted for more than 7years, watching premium channels for absolutely nothing. (illegally)
i was shocked to later hear that people in Lagos and the west didn't even experience this.
Well time flies.
Around August,I saw some guys selling something similar at rumuokoro I just dey laugh

Your matter simple.

First thing to check, is if TV outlet has already been wired.

Second is how many channels they need to be showing in the TV in the rooms.


Once you've got that info. Then you can proceed with the needed materials to do the job.

If it is just one channels they want showing in all the rooms, and the TV outlet has already been wired before by the electrician. Then all you have to do is buy an RF modulator ( this apply to new Dstv decoder that does not have an Rf output). Then you connect the av output to the Rf modulator... From the Rf modulator/ converter, you connect the TV wire that links to all the TVs in the room.

But if it is a multi channel setup.. Then you have to calculate one decoder to one channel. So for example it is four to eight channels they want showing in each TV.. Then it has to be four to eight decoders as well.

Then you have two options in such a setup depending on the financial strength of your client. The option of using a multiswitch to reduce the amount of dishes installed outside. Or using a four pin Lnb for a four decoder setup or two four pin lnb on two dishes on an, eight decoder setup. Then you need a channel combiner or you can still use an eight way Splitter in reverse. To combine all the wire coming from each 4/5/6/7/8 Rf modulator or Rf out of each decoder. Then you connect the single wire that links and loop to each rooms. Then you configure each decoder to a specific channel. Starting from channel 21 to 99. That way each time a TV connected to the TV outlet is scanned, all 4/5/6/7/8 channels will appear in that order.

Remember to add signal booster/ amplifier inbetween. For a more clearer picture.

This is just the basic.. Though it can still get more advanced than that.. Depending
You've said it all bro just wanted to correct that RF output ranges from 21-69,believe it was a typo all the same well said

QSat G23 has a better video output. But Csat Pro 8 + output is not bad per se.
Even after several years of being obsolete (in the world of FTA things get obsolete too quickly),QSat boxes still have one if the best hardware out there. I think they just need to work on their software outside that;it's a very solid receiver. This is the same reason why 4669x wouldn't go away soon,most installers without satfinders still use it for tracking and street-to-house cable tv,very clear RF signal.

I still use 4669x when tracking C-band,most satfinders out there have poor C-band reception

Good evening gurus in the house. Please I need your urgent advice and direction.

First day I attempt to add MBC @7west in my dish that already have 3W as primary and 5e & 7e as secondary, using 11559v27500, but I did not succeed.

Second day I tried again to get the MBC @7west and didn't get it again. But I got Hi-Impact and other Tunisian & Arabic channels totalling 13 channels with these transponders 11030v05000 & 11658v27500. Also, I used brand new strong lnb. See the attached picture.

My question is: What else can I do to get this elusive MBC @7°West?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Cc Digitman , adubam & others
Don't know the brand of receiver your using but if its strong then your signal on 11658V27500 shouldn't be below 70% else 11559V27500 wouldn't pop up

Tell me sir how u want to bring down 166e satellite in Nigeria. It is beyond our horizon unless u are a magician.
I was wondering this too,even in the core North, 166°E is way too below the horizon.

Anything below 90°E in Nigeria will almost be impossible but I'm open-minded and will always learn,what could be impossible for me could be easy for another.

For foreign movie content = MBC 2 & MBC max will take care of that.  Then MBC ACTION shows foreign series/ WWE as well. NTA, TVC NEWS are still there as well... Point your dish to 42.5 degree east nigcomsat position ( Tracking frequency 12519 H 29500)


Then for African movie you will have to point your dish or another dish to ( 33 degree east) to receive a channel called Ghallywood tv. For 24 hours African movie. ( Tracking frequency 11015 V 30000)


Then for music.  There is a channel called boomTV  located at 16 degree east
( Tracking frequency 10804 H 30000)


You can still get a full collection of foreign movie, Nollywood movie and others In a single dish on ABS3 @3.0 degree west

( tracking frequency 10972 V 30000) ( blind scan for etv Africa)

Eg:
Movies Africana
Kidszone cartoons
Fox sports news
&flix action
Movies now action
Mbc Action
Mbc 2
Cine film
Zeemundo
Romedy now
Beatplus music
TVC
Rave TV
Tara HD
Rwanda Tv
Aljezera news
France 24 news
Dw TV
Preach TV
Bro don't always recommend those channels at 3°W as FTA especially to newbies, might be encrypted anyday

Boss man, me sef still dey here oooh.

and I know that "most people" are on the sidelines, just reading comments after the childish behaviour of some peeps on the thread.

Someone will respond to a question, and three post down another person wants to be responded to personally by repeating the exact same question. Gadotor, freshp, odilibe, and so many others tried responding to repeated questions, got tired and started ignoring. Olenyi1 tried is best responding to mumu repeated question on the same page, they started singing his praises, eventually he was overwhelmed and joined those before him on the sidelines, siddon dey look cheesy only responding once in a while.

In the good old days, boundaries where pushed to re-write some satellite narratives.

I always come to the forum for updated information satellites, transponders, channels, etc.

We dey gidigba, na mostly the indomie generation wey no understand the benefit of open forum want to drag people go WhatsApp and other groups where dem go enjoy admin privileges and feel fly. Imagine if nairaland was a closed group, most peeps wanting to drag people to whatsapp and other closed groups would they have gotten solution to their problems?
You're 100% spot on bro...When I saw GeorgeD1's post from the previous page,I was surprised to see his comments, was thinking he was gone forever too,new peeps are really making this place annoying now so I'll rather just read and reply to a few comments and stay in the background.

Let's not be too quick to dismiss this claim because you never know the exact location where this particular dish was installed.

I still remember way back, like 10 to 13 years ago. Some guys here installed nilesat with 1.8 metre dish here. I bought 1.8 metre , I did not got it.. Someone in my location got it with 2.4. So I bought 2.4 metre, even when my dish was 30 feet above the ground I did not get it. So I went ahead and bought 3m dish, that's when the signal even pop up in my location. Also there are lnb that can still help in making that which seems difficult to one person a lot more easier. Make you people nor begin quote me wrong oh !! I am just sharing an experience. One love
The thing is that most peeps here just post based on EIRP/footprints but in real time,the data may not be the same especially for birds covering West Africa/Sub Sahara Africa.

Everything that has to rely on data is always questionable about Africa — On maybe the service provider of the Nigerian mux made it really difficult to hunt. Several people have already attested that hunting that bird has been really elusive.

From EIRP maps,with a 1.8m dish,you should easily hunt birds like Intelsat 68.5E and the Nigerian mux in 60E but it's not always the case,same for 7E too. So I have a rule of thumb,if data says 1.8m,I go for 2.4m instead.in some cases,it doesn't mean you can't hit the bird bit you just need some "surplus" to make your hunting easier especially if you're a rookie.

Please could someone help me with the required hints to succesfully track a satellite without sat tracker, i have tried everything to no avail i think i am missing some basics so am here for assistance. I have 2 strong decoders (srt4663x and strong view4955) and i wanted to track intelsat 20 i first conected the dish to the 4663x receiver (though there is a diseqc switch inbetween) i was able to track intelsat20 12722h@26657...m/s and got upto 90% signal and 68-70% quality but the rest of the other frequencies remained at red (20% quality but up 89% signal) i even adjusted the alignment, azimuth and skew of the dish and lnb but no improvement. I switched the decoder to 4955 and this one was even the worst, signal was up to 90 but quality was 0% (i dont know if the unit is defective). the main transponder i want to receive is 12562h@30000ms, i want to also know if 4663x doesnt support this tp. Thanks very much.
4663x cannot view most TPs on intelsat IS20 as they moved to mpeg 4663x is mpeg 2 so you should upgrade

No wonder! You've been using the lowest type of IPS screen (720p) on your infinix, not the FHD (1080p) on the Redmi phones, that's why you give AMOLED so much consideration.

My Redmi Note 8 is my first phone that doesn't come with AMOLED, from Galaxy S4 to S7 personally owned, although I've handle the Galaxy S8 to S10, but not personally owned. I guess some of the mentioned phone above would have better AMOLED display than Samsung mid-range phone considering the fact they are flagship

See! The beauty of AMOLED doesn't freak me anymore. I'm used to it. Performance and multi-tasking is my utmost priority over screen beauty, provided that the price is right. Every specs (except the screen type) in the A51, the RN9s have better, e.g the Corning gorilla glass, yet the RN9s is almost 30k cheaper
You think if the A50 used IPS/LCD it wouldn't be as cheap as the RN9s?

See the extra 30k as the price for the screen.

Aside the screen,one UI is on of the best custom skins on android.

There are preferences for different persons,all round Samsung has it for me
