eerekake:
House happy sunday.Sport tv 1-5 which satellite are they operating from?
And what metre of dish can track it?
Is it fta or encrypted?if encrypted,can cccam open it?Please somebody should help out.
thanks.

they are on two different satellites.one on Hispasat 30 West for Europe and the other on eutelsat 36 east for southern and east african countries which does not show epl but la-liga..you need 4 meter dish to enjoy the satellite in lagos axis

Brian109:
thanks sir, Or maybe am using the wrong tp and satelite position,am using 3800 v 20000 on 57e for tracking, am i using the correct tp.

Track with this frequency 03632 V 02625 its the strongest transponder...get a grey colour super max LNB if you can..then replace your di-electric plate with a glass of same size..That should solve your problem i guess

Brian109:
Hello People, Whats The Easiest Tp For Tracking Sports24hd, I Have Been In The Sun For Almost 3hrs now . Kindly Help Me

3 Hrs on top sport 24??meaning you are using a wrong LNB.....get an original supermax LNB..it shouldn't give such stress

life707:
@Desjam, from your experience, does 4M dish nail eutelsat 3e Ku in Kano?

Any experience with the European (Super) beam of eutelsat 5w Ku?

5 west is receivable with 4 meter dish...but you hardly get a cc cam that opens it...mostly few channels only open

GeorgeD1:
For this assignment, I had the pleasure of having another
founding member of the thread Mr Adewest who basically did all the work while i was on
hand to lend whatever support needed.

congratulations George D..Finally you installed something to nail all the Europe birds...The dish is a good one..i know it very well...have lots of its installed around in my domain tooo

Dishtech: what about Badr 4/5/6, located at 26 degree east facing DSTV direction that contain all this MBC, ADM, JSC+1 to +10, and the rest?

it is also receivable on badr here in kano with signal strength of about 65-70% on 2.4m

tusmanali: aljazeera Bleep my show in fact wat coses all dis change of transponder sef? aljazeera Bleep my show in fact wat coses all dis change of transponder sef?

all these change of transponders is becos of multichoice........they are the one's behind it......that is the same reason aljazeera will keep writing that this broadcast is meant for only middle east and north Africa.....they are milking us dry here in Nigeria and they don't want people to have any other choice which is impossible as far as out of foot print satellite can be received.

HAH: Watching jsc sports is illegal in Nigeria as they always broadcast during elp matches that the transmission is for middle east and north Africa. But I don't give a damn.

@HAH,

There is difference between official beaming to west Africa and out of foot print reception............aljazeera displays that its meant for middle east and Africa as a "DISCLAIMER" confirming that they are not infringing on anybody's rights.....if anybody is using a big satellite dish for out of foot print reception and can receive their signal they are not liable.......

dstv is being used in Egypt,chad,Niger,Morocco,etc and other countries they do not have broadcast rights why don't they also display a disclaimer?mean while they are well aware of it........

canal plus that we receive here in Nigeria is not meant for us but we watch their programmes...same as sky italia,sky dutchesland,tv cabo,digital plus,nova and so many other out of foot print reception which we use massive dish to receive......

*****as long as these providers do have have official distributors in Nigeria and do not have official foot print for Nigeria or Africa they are not liable for nay form of illegality....thats why sky uk is officially restricted to united kingdom only but even when u are outside united kingdom u can still receive it.

the united kingdom do not permit the use of more than a 90cm dish if i am not mistaken.so thats why they are restricted to watch they can receive...but here in Nigeria there is no restrictions.....as long as you have your money for the dish and the land to place it.its nobody's business.

there is a construction company in Abuja will not mention the name here.......they have 3 satellite dish for out of footprint reception mainly for their expatriate staffs that are Italians and Germans....they have 9 meters facing astra 28 degrees,8 meters facing 13 degrees and 7 meters facing 19 degrees mainly used for sky uk,sky italia and sky dutchesland......

Note that NBC provides for freedom of choice for individuals to watch whatever pleases them at their homes.....no provider can impose her content on anybody in nigeria

Dishtech: please can any body in d house living around Kano using 2.4m dish check this Jsc +6 to +10 new frequency for me 11449/27500H FEC:5/6

jsc sports is working good on 11449 H 27500 on nilesat here in kano using 2.4m dish

HAH: I Still dey enjoy my epl on Aljazeera on Nilesat here in Abuja eventhough the transmission is for middle east and north Africa.

thats not an issue...even if it is for mars or jupiter............italians and germans working in nigeria pay subscription in their country and use the smarts cards here in nigeria to watch programmes in their native language .its not illegal

Newtonn:
@Dejsam,
one of my friend use 1.8m in island to track nilesat and its working well,
but on my own case i live @ oshodi but its not working.

@newtonn,

i doubt it.cos i tried using 1.8m dish to track nilesat too at ibadan the next day i finished that of lagos but i was barely able to get just one frequency which is 11862 V 27500 (osn channels)

goodieuzo:
dejsam

Newtonn:
hello guys,
is any body using 1.8m (180 cm) dish to track nilesat satellite?
am living in lagos nigeria. i just want to no if 1.8m dish will pick up nilesat satellite.
thks

@newton link,

George_D:
@pappy,
FTA is not necessarily for hungry fellows who want to escape paytv subscription, rather it is for those who are wise enough to understand that what ignorant people pay through their teeth for can be gotten free of charge with just a little bit of knowledge. It is that desire for freedom that differentiates members here from the ordinary smart alecs on the street who are only interested in cutting corners and using whatever illegal means to circumvent the likes of dstv, hitv, etc
Here, the emphasis is on gaining and sharing knowledge directed at breaking the stranglehold of shylock paytv companies irrespective of their location or orientation.
Ordinarily, most members here can afford to just go to the bank, queue up and dump money into the accounts of these paytv companies but they have chosen to rather channel such resources at experimenting and digging up knowledge for the good of all.
You seem to be just a passer-by going by the tone of your post so I think you will be excused for harbouring such misguided sentiments as you spelt out in your first post.

Meanwhile, your welcome to the best forum in nairaland.

FTA forever!

@George D,

i de feel u dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,

when me sef look the total cost of equipment when i gather mennnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, its far morethan the cost of paying premium subscription of the best pay tv in this region.dont let me start metioning and counting this equipments ojareeee,

@george d,

my oga whats up @ ur side.hope ur set up has gotten all necessary repairs and attention to make it solid again.please lets start making preparation for the necessary sacrifice to appease the gods of thurnder in that ur environs o.let them stop locating ur dish,

Ikiriye:
@all,
anybody with idea of what size of dish can bring into my living room astra 2b beamed euroupe and if sky smartcard can work on say 4910.there are some 30 somtin channels there fta.

@ikiriye,

sky smartcard cannot work on strong 4910.u will even need to programme dreambox to use the card if u have one.and for a dish that will pick that signal.hummmmm, u can pick other channels on that bird,but that of sky uk, i doubt it.the only option left for u is sky italia on hotbird.

@irapada,

why are u using all those wires to hold your lnb together.why not get bolt and nut that will size it and make your job very clean.it will even make your reception easier.just a suggestion, but i think its better.then it will be better u get a combined c and ku band scaller.or even c-band lnb attachment scaller.u can as well get an original scaller for the fuji lnb u are using.

enjoy.

@ George_D

I beleive the focal length is okay. Tracking NSS7 at 97% means its okay (is that not so)

As i told u the barrack is beside my office and am not the installer, i only had pitty on the guy because he won the contract with ZERO experience and all other installers ran after days of fruitless effort and soldiers kept on asking o'boy which day u go finish.


It was only my friend who hit green with 48-51% which is still not enough.

@ jayron,

u must get 98% on nss 7 for ur confirmation of a good reception.anything less than that may not give u a good reception on a motorised set up.nss7 must be 98% which means 100% cos strong receiver will not wxceed 98%

microgiant:
If you are behind your dish W3A is to your left, but while standing facing the dish W3A is to your right and lower the dish a little bit (still standing at the front)

Sorry, could reply earlier, but it has been answered already. Check

use this frequency to track eutelsat w3a .12728 H 30.000.u will be ok with that.

@ enitannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, ,

congratulations ojare, i really rejoice with u.u have finally joined the club.

emi ah lo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, emi a she eyi to ju eyi lo ooooooooooooooooo.AMIN

@all,

this is a good news for us all in some few months to come

Arab Satellite Communications Organization (Arabsat) participates in The Middle East & North Africa Satellite Show (CABSAT) on 2nd-4th March at Dubai World Trade Center.

Eng. Khalid Balkheyour president&CEO of Arabsat, said that “Arabsat is always keen to participate in the specialized exhibitions to offer new services in the field of satellites business such as digital television, HDTV, broadband services and many other services in addition to highlighting the unique features of its satellites including the different coverages currently available or will be carried on the new Arabsat fleet.

Also two other satellites will be launched in 2011, 2012, respectively, reaching Arabsat Investments in upgrading its fleet up to $ 1.6 billion.”

@George D and All

Regarding my Nilesat tracking, no luck yet. I have been able to nail W3a and the quality was upto 60 on my 4653x and close to 70  on my daarbox.

What I will like to know now is do I move the dish (2.4m) futher to the right or left because the thing  is almost completely facing the heavens.

And also I will need a very strong TP(s) (apart from dubai 1 and city 7) for the nile tracking. (Please  the freq., pol, and symbol rate).


Thanks.

@ obijack,

make sure u dish is properly allined for a good track because with what u said u are getting on w3a for a start is too weak.at least u should have gotten up to 90 on w3.

i would suggest u track from nss7 then move down and left to nile.its more easier.u will hit green of 98 % on nss7.then move to nile with a strong t.p then u are in.

Enigma,
thanks for drawing my attention to the potential libel.i have edited the names just because of the respect i have for the great commentator,and not legal reasons.i got the info from a very reliable source when i was in naija.if you have any top multichoice manager friend,pls call him and ask about this.he will tell you the full story.i learnt multichoice protested to Sky but they had no evidence.besides,it was too late! it is just common sense-how did hitv know the amount dstv was bidding at if there was no leakage from the epl sellers.I like the spice this topic has added to the forum.it reminded me of the 3rd world war between Enitan and I.Unfortunately,he avoided me stylishly till I left naija even when I tried to lure him with fishes to LTV studios.I would have loved to meet my Saddam Hussein of the fta forum!I miss him no be small.

olofofo,
hitv was simply foolish and suicidal.i can liken their action to this scenario-it is like Yobe State Television outbidding NTA/AIT for the world cup transmission right! I had always wanted to mention this issue here but held back due to the prospect of libel or harm as mentioned by Enigma and Enitan.I know the extent the pay tv cabal can go to destroy any barrier.
In as much as I totally condemn piracy from CTL and others,Hitv should not make the mistake of instigating the govt to start banning big dishes and decoders.I see that as their next line of action.I remember when DSTV started,a lot of tv stations were hooking up to them for movies,music and football.i remember they sued OGTV,B.C.O.S.ibadan,and Delta DBS up to 10 times before they stopped the illegality.It was so bad then that  the last two stations would just take the local news and hook permanently to Supersports,channel O,and movie magic all through the weekend.the Lagos stations could not join in the illegality then because Multichoice would know immediately.This is one of the reasons laws dont work in Nigeria.govt stations did what CTL did!
I am waiting for the day HITV will start attacking us -owners of big dishes and fta decoders.oku a sun(dem go carry deadi bodi tire)!
I want all my silent ogas to comment on this issue-mide,twinstaiye,adewest,jujukemist,bigjoe,dejsam,gofitec,ifende,ekoonibaje,f-marshall,bodejohn,vickoy,etc.

Butoneday,
pls watch out for them oooo.your monster is a threat to the pay tv cabals.

@all,

To be really candid,htv has really made a mistake by really depending on premier league rights acquisition to make profits or sustain their business.so if their business is falling apart because their subscribers are no longer willing to pay subscription,then they are on their own.in my place over here,there are so may people i know that stopped dstv and hitv subscription to watch the normal fta when they discovered they have just been throwing away monies in the bin.fta set up over here is just like electric bulbs on the streets,it has become something normal like having an antena just outside ur roof.i think "spaceman" can bear witness to this when he came around and saw the way fta set up were hanged every angle u turn around to.i belive if htv guys can improve on the broadcast content,even without premier league rights,the sky is their limit.what are we saying here(just look at their picture quality nahhhhhhh), its is nothing to write home about.u have a look at just mbc channels ,dubai one,etc these are free channels with a broadcast quality even better than dstv broadcast quality."both in sound,clearity and picture quality"
going after local cable operators,viewing centres and hotels cannot solve their problems
