@enitan    i can confirm that rdv is fta.does it have any connection with the liquidation of gtv? Just wondering.hope it is not temporary as before

This afternoon i heard on the bbc that the premierleague are in negotiation with another pay tv provider to start showing the matches asap.well at least with my 2m i can watch liv vrs chelsea tomorrow without any wahala.the only downside in gtv going into liquidation is that many bros and sisters will be loosing their daily bread.i hope they get employment somewhere.

@ Ecowas4all,

Thanks I will tweak my lnb during the weekend.You may want to check this link for the focal length calculation http://www.satellitehelp.com/installation_index.asp

I used it last week and it was very helpful. It's D2[sup][/sup]/16d

@Sathob,
Thanks for the link.I called the   dish guy yesterday

@Ecowas4all,

That was some xperience.Don't worry the mosquitos' dinner for that night was destined to come from u grin.
Yes some tps do appear green without dielectric like india tv hum tv ,royal and KBC but they r generally better without dielectric.
The signal quality for my cnn(nss7 cband) is poor  lately but tv africa goes up to 98%.Is it a general problem or u think i should tweak the lnb?I have 1.8m motorised dish and 4653x

@fxprof

Is your dish facing w3 or W4? If it is W3 then i think it may be the globecast channels(due to the proximity of w3 and Sirius4)
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Official Thread of Free To Air Satellite TV (Part 2) by captainus: 12:14pm On Jan 26, 2009
@broucher,

Yes nothing is impossible but I'll entreat u to check your cable conection to make sure the signal u r getting is not from the 2.4m dish   .
Did u move the dstv dish or it was still at w4 position?
We all like pleasant surprises.

@Tox9ja,

When is LTV going FTA?When you are busy chasing tv stations on nilesat et all, at least we outside lagos should also enjoy your own LTV.Or what do u think?

@olofofo i'm having problem uploading the patch u posted for 4653x.i downloaded the 1.13mb file on my pen drive.however the file does not appear on the screen when i plugged my pen drive into the receiver.do i need to do some conversion or am i doing something wrong?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Official Thread of Free To Air Satellite TV (Part 2) by captainus: 3:32pm On Jan 08, 2009
@Ecowas4all,
I fabricated one from the local eight-shaped (cooltv antenna to add it to my cband lnb.I saw a couple of lnb holders on the net and I thought they would be sold in one of the satellite and accessories shops.

Never mind I'll try and fabricate one again.The disadvantage with it is that the more u tweak the lnb,the weaker the holder( alluminium)becomes and it subsequently breaks.
Thanks

@Sathob/Salamander/Ecowas4all,

Thank God the elections are over and we now have a president.Do u know where in Accra I can get a ku Lnb holder /clamp?Please respond urgently.The Mytv agents I asked from so far don't have it.

@Sathob,

I will be interested in the digisat lnb

@Adewest,

Which is better in terms of quality and stable signal: 2.4m pan or 2.4 mesh

@ tox9ja,bodejohn

Gtv is now part of the west african bouquet on dstv.Dont worry u r not missing anything.

TVAfrica is private ,and does not ,as far as I know,have anything in common with the old tvafrica from south africa

@Olofofo

Thanks very much.

@toxnaija and anybody with a motorised mesh dish (2.4m or bigger).

Please let me know the advantages and disadvantages in terms of signal quality, durabilty of the dish and any other useful infomation.Your urgent response will be very much appreciated.

@ tox9ja,

On the issue of echolink ,I put some questions a couple of pages back: I wanted to find out of what use will the decoder be if one does not have Nilesat or hotbird. Because at the moment and at my location (Southern Ghana with my 1.8m motorised dish) I don't have any of the above 2 birds and if I should get an echolink decoder what do I stand to gain that my SRT4653X does not give me?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Official Thread of Free To Air Satellite TV (Part 2) by captainus: 11:01pm On Jan 04, 2009
@tox9ja tv3 shows one la liga game and one grade c premiership per week.they have highlight on the major european leagues on wednesday 8pm or 8.30pm(not too sure about the time). Website: tv3.com.gh
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Official Thread of Free To Air Satellite TV (Part 2) by captainus: 10:31pm On Jan 03, 2009
@tox9ja yes it is working.to make certain of it i've just finished watching barca vrs majorca.u know just like tv africa and tv + garbon u need to wait about a second or two b4 the signal turns green.i guess it has something to do with the SR( i.e below 2.0MS/s).the tp is not on lyngsat.A friend gave it to me.i use 1.8m motorised dish and i guess urs is even bigger.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Official Thread of Free To Air Satellite TV (Part 2) by captainus: 10:10pm On Jan 02, 2009

@twinstaiye, badaru1 &all concerned, i've been following with keen interest discussions on echolink/starsat with the abra card with the 'wonders' they do on hotbird and nilesat.my question is of what use will they be for us who receive other birds i.e. not hotbird or nilesat.please respond.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Official Thread of Free To Air Satellite TV (Part 2) by captainus: 10:44am On Dec 23, 2008
@ALL W3 viewers,

I just checked lyngsat and realised that MSNBC has been taken off the package for  Free2view.I guess  that's it for MSNBC @W3.Sorry guys we all need to find an alternative.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Official Thread of Free To Air Satellite TV (Part 2) by captainus: 3:00pm On Dec 07, 2008

@ Ecowas4all,

To enjoy pas7/10 C band and Nss10(where metro tv is) ,u need to remove the dielectric from the LNBf or better still install another LNBf without the electric in addtion to the one with the dielectric.
