@dejsam, i need more explanation on that nilesat. What size of dish? How can we get the card. God will surely help u as u explain.

@emeritus 153,

ur location will determine the size of dish u will need.but if u are in lagos area, 2.4m above is the best option for u.then u will need a receiver.i will

rather suggest u go for echolink and other satellite set up related items,may be for a ground mount dish or a motorised setup depending on ur

choice.but the motorised set up is preferable and will be better.u can chat me online. E-mail-dejsam247@yahoo.com

@ all,

these are the new orbit channels on nilesat.it opens with abracadabra card and coco card.

enjoy ur selves

George_D:
@Dejsam,
Thanks my brother. Both dishes are certainly up and running now. Yesterday marked
the final round of my FTA restoration after that thunder strike. But for the persistent
rains here I would have done it sooner but it just keeps on raining here everyday
making outside installations impossible. Thank God there was a slight break and I quickly
cashed in on it yesterday.
My di-electric was behaving funny when i tried tracking with the supermax c-band lnb.
Imagine getting CNN as low as 39%! But I quickly adjusted and wham! Everything jumped
back to normal.

@ george,

how about ur nta hope it still came out  with strong signal quality.

BUTONEDAY:
@George_D,
I am expecting a tested 4m pan dish from the north. The dish will arrive on Friday this week and I would like to try it first before thinking of testing the 3m fibre. According to the guy who tested the dish, showsport/showmovies/CNN are hitting 80% on 4652. MBC is 84%. If the dish can give me showsport at 42% here in the south on 4652, then it is still OK.

@ butoneday,

congatulations with this new developement.i wish say me sef go fit dey there with my oga george to do the installation for southern part of the

country like warri.but all the same sha,i think with what usaid it was given on cnn and showsports,u should be able to get 75% of that in ur

location,which is like 50-60% signal quality.i will be waiting to hear good news from ur end sha.i will definately give u a shout then.

@george d,
thank God say u don finally conquer the enemies intension to stop u from enjoying fta goodies.

since both dishes are back now just go and bring out ur riffle to start hunting down any bird that comes ur way.but dont shoot at the whole nest

so that u wount deprive all of us from watching.i just say make i halla u,how ur end?

George_D:
@Dejsam,
So we have to go and buy a special receiver now all because of etv?
Abeg make dem go sit down!  

On the other hand, I noticed etv encryption on SA beam remains the same:
nagravision 1 so I'm thinking those on pan or fibre 2.4m and above receiving
SA out-of-footprint signals may not have anything to worry about.
Just a thought.

@ george d,

yes .sure those that are on c band intelsat 7/10 can still enjoy etv for free.i think the reason it was blocked was becos of the hitv and ait that got  

the champions league rights.they are only trying everything possible to make sure people pay for their subsription.

and if they are waiting for someone like me to pay for their erratic broadcast .they have failed themselves o  

though the receiver is not really ment for etv but for highly loaded nagravision three encrpted providers like polsat on hotbird,hispasat etc

F_Marshal:
Dejsam, thanks for the expalanation.

@ the Red highlighted: It should be noted that those figures you stated should only be applicable to a particular manufactured or Brand of dish. Those shouldn't be a standard Focal point measurement for 1.8 and 2.4m dishes forall brands and instances.

[size=14pt]EDIT:[/size] Are these the LNBs you were referring to? I can't see the area(s) that was sawed off!

@ f marshall,

thats what i have always used for both dish sizes and it has been working perfectly irrespective of the brand of dish i am using.compare the both lnbs on

the picture.the right one has been cut.while the left one hasent been cut.just have a close look.u will notice the left one still has the white cap.

microgiant:
Nagra 3 is not foolproof, it's already broken. Although it may take time before EMUs are available as it may come out in cards.

see a picture of nagravision 3 fta receiver

F_Marshal:
Pitodenz, can you clarify the red highligted above? When you say you cut the LNB, do you mean removing the LNB cover, or physically (sawing off) cutting the LNB feed horn or what? Can you post a good picture of the "cut LNB?

@ fmarshal,

it means cutting off the base of the lnb with a saw.just as u rightly said.if u look at the picture of my dish set up i posted few weeks ago,u will see it

boldly.the digisat lnb i use has been cut,likewise the pauxis lnb i used as an attachment for nss 7 has been cut too.the cutting helps ur signal

strenght.like wise when u are using a c band lnb.when u cut a glass of the same size with ur dielctric and use it, it boost ur signal with 10%.u can

confirm by giving it  a trial urself.and for easy installation of your 1.8m or 2.4m set up,the distance between the base of ur lnb and the centre of ur

1.8m dish should be exactly 27 inches when measured with a tape,and that of the 2.4m dish should be exactly 36 inches.if u use these

measurements,it will save u a lot of stress when setting up ur dish.these two measurements are the required focal lenght for the two different dish

sizes.and as for the fuji lnb issue,u cannot get an original fuji like the old fuji available in the past.except u can hunt for a fairly used original

lnb.digisat as far as i am concerned is a very very good lnb and can perform even better than the fuji available in the market these days.i even had

to buy and keep the 2way digisat as its always very scarce in the market .

@butoneday,

how far,thanks for the call yesterday.i really appreciate.i have sent a message to ur box iro that stuff.

pls confirm as it is very important.

@ george d,

i hail o.i saw ur message.thanks for being there always.

@ all,

etv is gone.lets just forget about it.i will rather advice that all should rather go for any alternative bird.

@ all,


i think we should prepare our minds to moving completely from our normal mpeg 2 to mpeg 4 platform(HD) receivers.because thats the new face of satellite tv broadcast.

English Premier League (EPL) football matches will be shown on a new high-definition TV channel next year, the Abu Dhabi Media Co (ADMC) announced on Wednesday.

see details here:

@ stomers,

u can receive african beams with a 90cm dish.this includes sirius,intelsat 7/10 thats where u have my tv africa and etv,then nss 7 and somany

others.u will need bigger dish size for out of footprint satellites like nilesat,badr etc.just go back and browse through the forum from begining and u

will have many of ur question answered.

i hope this helps.

George_D:
@Dejsam,
Please send the last coc update to me. Seems I don't have it.

@ george d,

copy that.

both art and showtime are up on the card.

check ur mail box for the update

George_D:
@pitodenz,
You sure say that badr wey you dey go favour you so? A lot of
good stuff are happening on nilesat now o! Orbit+showtime rocks!
I was watching 'dark matter' on super movies channel last night
men, it was tough! Maybe you should reconsider joining the family
after the rains o!

@Dejsam,
What is happening to coco? Looks like support for the usb upgrade
is fast diminishing. All I see when I check the usual sites is the file
for programming. Before the usb version comes out, either it is dead
already or remains one or two days to expire. We are not enjoying
the Coco at all o!

@ george d,

congrats once again on ur starsat receiver.u know i also told u to confirm it b4 sending it down by doing a factory reset of the receiver first.

the last coco update still have showtime running.it seems its becos of the instability of art that is affecting the usb port update.as it always goes down frequently making the update difficult.

pitodenz:
@ Badaru/Desjam
                             From what i can get from satmac it seems humax and yumatu can open orbit network with key pls confirm.

@ pito,

both receivers support card sharing for orbit at present.but there are no keys for orbit network now.

the abracadabra and coco card opens orbit channels on nilesat at present.

George_D:
@pitodenz,
I think the continuous rain this period is contributing to the poor signal quality of nilesat.
Again, that your 0.2db lnb could only be as good as a 0.3db fuji so why not try one and see?
Concerning the ground mount, you could construct a neck for that your Eurostar dish and use
a jack to move it thereby saving yourself the stress of moving outside every time to change
the position especially in this cold weather.
For abra and coco cards, I don't know when last they did updates for orbit. Seems they're just
concentrating only on SHT & ART these days but maybe Dejsam can give us a better picture.

@ pito,

there hasen't been update for orbit  a very long time now.and i dont think there will be as both showtime and orbit has now merged together

as one company,so they will be using one card ,and very soon the both of them will be bearing same name and will be broadcasting same programme

from two offices.i.e the orbit office and showtime office.presently u can even watch some orbit channels on nilesat with the abracadabra card and coco

card.after the merger process is fully complete,the new company will be broadcasting a total of  70 channels.

adewest:
@PITO,nothing spoil o.@DEJSAM, Okare 4ur respond but Alh will not refuse u in 4update assistant.Don't mind me o.PEACE

@adewest,

oga, shee u saw what i wrote earlier that i just went there with a friend.and i don't even know the alhaji that owns the house.so how will update assistance become my work for him? .

will get back to u for any info iro that.

adewest:
@ DEJ, all am intrested on is dat TP on HOTBIRD-FREQ:11727V-27500.Same tp not strong here in north but ok in SOUTH with

@adewest,

well i woun't dispute that cos i have never tracked a setellite in the south b4 so i will not know which is stronger in the south and which is weaker.if i have the opportunity to get the details i will let every one know.

@ all,

this mpeg 4 issue is becoming something else now o.ART too are also going mpeg4 see this:

http://www.sat-mac.net/showthread.php?p=109588#post109588

i hope strong will do something quick about bringing mpeg 4 receivers to the african market

adewest:
@DEJSAM!!!,I HOPE U R NOT TAKING ME 4GRANTED.PLS REBACK  AND ANSWER MY QUESTION,THE HOUSE ARE ALL HEARS.

@adewest,

bros,i will have to get back to the house that we originally fixed the dish to get all these details.thats if it will be possible cos u know i cannot go into

an alhaji's house just like that .i just went with the person who originally did the installation that day as an opportunity to see what a big dish could

get from far beams. it wasent that i have the dish installed in my house.the receiver we used to even track wasen't mine so all those information

cannot be accessable easily.but i am 100% sure that all the channels i told u about came out.infact i wished i could get those datails back more

desperately than urself

solo1ng1:
@MICROGIANT,
SOMEONE SHOULD HELP ME!!!!!!
Please I have a HITV decoder and dish, is it possible to get FTA channels with the decoder? How?
I will be appreciative of a quick response.
Thanks

@solo1ng1,

i think some one have responded to u about this before?

but to make things easier for u .just try to get a strong 4663x receiver if really u want to enjoy free to air channels.with this eceiver u can change and modify anything to ur taste.u can also use so many features that the hitv receiver would not permit u to use.

microgiant:
@JMS

Please don't misunderstand me, I think all Strong SRT 4663x is patched before selling.  Kindly verify from the dealer. I've seen it being used with DSTV Cards, which is irdeto2 encryption

@ jms,

to butress microgiant's point;note that strong 4663x series do not only open conax encryption system.it opens irdeto,nagravision,seca,viaccess.these four other systems i am very sure of.the receiver has been patched to open these systems.but it can't be upgraded to mpeg 4

rockstar99:
Good day all,

I have been following the thread for about a year and have decided to add FTA to my current sat pay TV. I work Long hours and with the peculiarities of the Lag traffic just have Sunday to enjoy the sat services; thus I is painfull coughing up the 9 k every month. I will solicit your patience as I may ask some questions that may irritate some of you though as much as possible I will search the old threads first.

@rockstar 99,

there are many satellites available for ur viewing.u have nilesat,ewtelsat w3a,sirius,astra,etc depending on the dish size u have makes u enjoy

them better .if u are really ready for your set up of fta,all u need to do is to consult people like olofofo or ekonibaje in lagos area.they know where

to get u the original equipments u need.all the info u need to enjoy the fta goodies can also be gotten from them.enjoy your stay on the forum.

@ twinstaiye,

pls kinly delete all irrelevant post on the three last pages.it has nothing good to add to this forum.

regards.

@ george d,

i hail o.how far about ur installation.hope there is progress.still waiting for good news from u soonest.

@ butoneday,

i saw ur missed call and i tried reaching u but to no avail.how far about the dish .has it gotten to ur end?will also be waiting to hear goodies.

@ all,

i think u all should note this good news comin to us.

http://www.digitalproductionme.com/article-1302-pay_tv_not_sustainable_in_the_middle_east_riordan/

http://www.digitalproductionme.com/article-1549-al_jazeera_sport_expansion_plans_revealed/

i think with time,we will not even bother ourself with this update issues with card and receivers because with the way things are going nile sat  will

come to be the best satellite tv when it comes to free to air.as almost all aspect of entertainment are being taking care of.like movies,sports,soap

opras,documentries,general entertainment and to make the whole thing worst abu dhabi has bought the right for premiership from next season

and are not willing to sell to showtime as they want to beam it for free to their citizens.u can imagine abu dhabi being the first to broadcast national

geographic channel for free to her citizens since the history of satellite tv broadcast.then it means good things are still coming to us.lets just keep

our arms

crossed and keep watching.

iykemann:
This is for those using 1.8m,i need your advise ,i have two 90cm dish and 1 65cm but i can't get what i want,i love good action movie (american)bt sirius4 and w3a can not give it to me,so my qeustion is can i get it with 1.8m dish?if yes will it be english speaking?

@iykeman,

what is ur location.thats whats going to help us know the dish size u require for ur set up.with ur 90cm dish u can watch english movies on etv on intelsat 7/10 or pas 7/10

and if u are in lagos area.u can get a 2.4m ground mount dish to watch all 24 hrs english movie channels on nilesat.which includes channels like;

-mbc 2
-mbc 3
-mbc 4
-mbc action
-fox movies
-fox series
-dubai one
-city 7

@butoneday,

thats just the issue at hand. i haven't tried it in the south.but nevetheless ,if the dish could give that in the north,then u should be able to get 75% of what its receivable with it in the south.thats what i belive sha,or what do u think?

toxnaija:
Dejsam,
I called my installer a few minutes ago to contact you.He has always been on the lookout for the splitter.How about the 3.5m assembled steel dish you said a guy was working on in Kano?Can I also get the frequency where Orbit is operating on on Nilesat?any development on ab4a channels that disappeared?

Lagos/Southern Nigeria members,
pls can anyone help look for a place where we can get cheap and good mpeg4 decoders.Enitan/Olofofo,I know both of u are really good in hunting for stuffs like that.We need to add it to our collections.Is it only Daarsat decoder that can pick its signals?If no,do we need an HD lnb to pick HD signals?

if there is anyone intrested in a  5 way smart card spliter,its available at the rate of 35k.some one just showed it to me today as he just brought in

goods from the outside,including aljazeera sports valid smart cards which he is selling for 25k.though the card was formally sold for 12k b4 they got

the right for champions league.

check this sites for a sample of what card splitter looks like.but note that this one is not the wireless type.as wireless type is limited by distance or range it can cover .this one is wired and can be used in hotels and football viewing centers and domestic home use.

dejsam,

pls reply me fast cos i need it seriously now ,

making reference to the dish you pasted here on page 89,i want to know if i can make of use such(i.e 1 c-band and 2 ku-band lnb on 1.8m dish motorised) and how much will cost me install it.i guess i will pick alot of channels
reply please

@seunoluomo,

u will rather use 2 c-band lnbs.

one will be with di-electric and the other with out di-electric and one ku lnb(either digisat or fuji).the one with out di-electric will take care of 68.5 deg east signal(sabc) and the one with dielectric will take care of other c-band birds and the ku-lnb will take care of all the ku signals.

other things u will require are-the dish,disect positioner if u want,jack,the wires for both the set up and the positioner,then any receiver of ur choice.

u can find out the cost of the set up from people in lagos area as they can get them for u.

George_D:
@uchesnna,
You can use your 1.8m dish to conveniently recieve both w3a and sirius 4 as Dejsam
has shown above. To include intelsat 7/10 however, you will need up to 4 meters if you
insist on not motorizing it. The farther apart the azimuth of the birds (as is the case with
w3a and intelsat 7/10), the bigger the dish will need to be to get a proper focus if it is fixed
on one spot. You can save yourself all these hassles simply by motorizing-afterall were
you to get all the birds on one spot, you can only watch one of them at a time.

george d,

i can see u just posted this now .pls log into ur messenger i am also online
