bro I hail. You mentioned something about dollar sign ($) having to do with getting the biss to work. Mine does not have the sign on my q13 with software v8.01.23. Do I need another software? Thanks
Just like the Dlollyboi1, said, the dollar sign does not apply to all decoders. So do as he has instructed.

Or are you having problem locating where the biss menu is?


If yes, let the house know so you can be guided on how to get to the Xcam page.

gurus in the house does the height of dish have anything to do with reception because I have seen 90cm ontop of building while some are not far from the ground level.
The reasons you see that happens has to do with but not entirely the availability of the platform needed to install the dish.

For example you want to install a dish facing the eastern region but the eastern part of the building has a blockage in front of it. When mounted on the ground but mounting the dish higher up, tends to create an open space that guarantees a better reception.

Another reason might be because there is no stronger surface that will hold the nails firmly on the ground level. Which as a result made the installer to go end up placing it at the top level.

Furthermore, the top level might just create an open space for the installer to have freedom to turn the dish from east to west without any obstruction.

So is safe to say, that you can install the dish very low to the ground without any problem at all. Provided the line of sight needed to get a good reception, be it east or west. Has nothing that will block the dish from getting a good reception from the sat position you desire to track.


That's just the basic reasons

Digitman good evening is your tvc and hiptv c - band showing??
I am sorry bro, the dish is not facing that direction currently. However tvc , has been off for some time before I changed the direction. As for Hip TV, they sometimes goes off air and come back anytime they like. From observation.

One of the ways to track a satellite using phones without a satfinder gadgets handy.

Requirements
A. 2 smartphones
B. Download a dish pointer app on smartphone.
C. Download WhatsApp on the phones.

Use a dish pointer app earlier downloaded to locate the direction of your choice satellite. (Azimuth)

Set you elevation by using the indication at the back of your dish.

Now to Align your dish properly. This is when we now need the two phones.
Do a video call on whatsapp on one of the phone and place it in your seating room facing the TV. It is assumed you have plugged your decoder and imputes the TP and its showing on your TV.

Take the second phone with you up the ladder ( Your TV is mirrored here to see your
signal strength and signal quality)

Begin to adjust your dish left to right or up and down while looking at your phone to see if it will hit green. Tightened your dish at maximum signal quality.
That's the summary.
I have used this method to find different satellites.
Wow, what a revelation. Bro you must dey take something spiritual for your brain to reason this kind method. Lol !! Brilliant, you just invented another tracking device for those who don't have trackers. Thumbs up.

lolz broz, u dey try oo .. But, there is a way u can do ur tracking without sat finder nd without carrying ur tv outside.. U only need two android phones or u use 1 android phone or 1 laptop
Nice one bro... However you for try give am all the full details. Nor get me wrong oh, but e just be like a situation, where you tell someone there is a way to prepare a delicious stew. But leaving out all the important ingredients besides tomatoes and pepper.

Please for the benefit of those who might be in his situation and chooses to go that route. Just list out the remaining ingredients and procedures for the delicious stew to take become a reality.

No knowledge is a waste, because it will always come handy someday. Once you have acquired it.


One love.

Here is a quick one...

But make my wife dey watch her favourite program for dstv , zeeworld to be exact and signal goes off. All those kind of words or behaviors will go off the widow . Irrespective of the time of the day or the location of the dish. She nor go send those things again, provided you fix the dish signal back for her to not miss everything she wants to watch.

haha dis one catch my attention i like reading comments . but i go talk small...... I DON DEY SHAME NOW OOO IMAGINE NEIBORS DEY TAKE ME KNOW WHEN NEPA BRING LIGHT... AND WORSE STILL I NO GET TRAcER MY CHILDREN GO DEY SHOUT 45-50 eh it has come it has gone back . my wife worse i go dey up madam watch for me she go enter toilet go sit down... but still i love doing it .. i stay in my own house so no landlord wahala . my only regret is that i cant stop the addiction one love
My brother take pride in what you do, that leads to the accomplishment of the joy you seek. Believe you me when I say, that all I see in this your write up. Is the joy on your kids faces being a part of that process with you. Which is priceless.

The President of America can buy a fishing company if he so desire. But it can never be compared to the thrill he gets when he is the one who caught the fish himself and if he is lucky enough to have a kid to share that moment with. Oh my world, it's more than what all the fishing company can offer and he will do it till his dying days provided he has a river close by.

A white man will take pride to brag how he built his own house with his barehands . From foundation to finishing. Many years later his children and grand children will tell the story to their friends with so much pride as well. But try it in Nigeria and you will either be seen as a poor man or stingy person.

In a white man's garage, you will see all kinds of tools for fixing things. Despite how rich that particular white man can be... He will take pride rolling out an old car his grandfather left behind and spend countless days, weeks, months or even years fixing it in front of his house. Neighbors go dey see am but yet nobody calls it fallen hand but rather a thing of pride . Even his kids go join hand dey give am spanner, a memory that will forever be cherished.

But for naija someone will just come out from him house to throw a ridicule at you for doing what you love.

A white man with a very lucrative job that is high paying enough to get him any car he wants. Will choose to take the train to work or even bicycle self, and nobody go mock am. But for naija, you never buy car, e go be like say you escort people come this world.

My bro make I just stop here because I can go on and on about it.

One thing I have learned over the years, is that you cannot please everyone.. So it's better you live your life for you and not for what another person will think or say.

Because at the end of the day, you will be the only one to either enjoy or suffer the consequences that comes from living your life based on what people might think and not them.

One love.... Please make nobody get me twisted.


Less I forget, I remove cap for you. for being able to track a satellite signal without even seeing the TV screen. But only from the voice response of your kids. Wow wow wow wow... My bro I am so overwhelmed and proud of you.

My bro I understand where you are coming from. It's not a good sight at all. That one na falling hand. Luckily for me it's just me and my family that stays in my compound and to cap it all, my backyard space provided me with enough space to practice my hobby secretly from public eyes. If not I would have also been in that ridiculous situation . But then it's crazy and fun, when time permits it. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Lol

Hahahaha, for show off and that's what most people use it for, I can't imagine paying for something that can be gotten foc all in the name of I dey use iPhone(unless jailbreaking it which most won't go down that path)

Then some say it's because of the camera, these days there are cams on android that beats it hands down like the Huawei, Mi 10 ultra, Samsung, etc.

The truth is that about 40% of the function of the iPhone can't be used or accessed in this part of the world.

The plus I see in the iPhone is the sell-on value. Android simply gives endless possibilities, is there something your Android can't do?
My bro, as for me, my android can do anything, even the one I don't even know it can do self e go Suggest am for me.

On a funny note, sometimes me and my wife go dey gist, na so the phone go just put mouth for the gist. Immediately, me and my wife go just turn and shout on the phone to shut up. As if we are talking to one of our kids. Lol.


Someone who loves to waka inside phone, will find android more interesting to press press.

Seriously, iOS is that exact qualified with... Imagine how much one can go around with on Android....

Now, one can’t get around well with iOS alone...

Be it games or other day to day apps....

Even some basic apps one get foc on Android is paid for on iOS
I feel your pain my bro. My relationship with that family started and ended with iPhone 6. After some period of usage it dawn on me that all I can do with the phone is show off. But after showing off, it makes me feel like I am using someone's phone due to too much restrictions to endless possibilities. When compared to android based phone. That became very boring. I just carry am give madam , then stroll go slot and ported to Samsung note family. A decision I have never regretted ever since then. Because with android everything is almost possible.... Just think am, Google am and the app for that thing go pop up for android based phone.

Haha. Sometimes I wonder why the stress on FTA even when one can easily pay for paid subscription. My 1.8m is even blocking my neighbors entrance apart from other dishes in front of my room.
From my own point of view, satellite TV is like a car. Pay tv puts you in the passengers seat but FTA gives you full access to the drivers seat once you know how to track. It gives you that thrilling sensation of feeling like James Bond in a car chase. when you finally hunt down, whichever satellite tv that becomes your targeted mission. Lol

You are a very insecured dimwit. Just because you felt Digitman was going to expose your ignorance you took to insult. Look if you don't know you don't know, stop being envious and wanting to be like someone when you can never. Answering questions here is not to gain fame or popularity but to serve people. That's what Digitman is doing and you can never be like him.

It all depends on your pocket
Csat c8 pro is the cheapest, has a very good tuner but very susceptible to surge and sparks so it must be carefully maintained. Comes with tshare account that opens European birds. Less than 10k.

Strong 497s has a very good tuner and comes with free 1yr mytv cccam. It's rugged but does not support decryption protocol like biss, powervu etc. About 20k+

Hellobox 8 comes with dvbfinder to watch sat on your mobile. Great signal tuner and smooth UI. Comes with SCAM+ account that opens zap and some European birds. About 20k+

You could also go for the tiger and mediastar series that has the acclaimed forever server which opens European bird and some stations on startimes 16E. Also connects with the GM screen app to control your box and track. Between 10k-20k
Nice one, you've said it all. Now let's share the grace, because nothing to preach again for the topic.

My brother me and you dey the same boat. At least e go make the account in my Hello box8, I just bought not too long ago dey useful. After that one I go just retire for this FTA Matter.

According to Timaya " I can kill myself oh" Lol


But come to think of it, that possibility of being able to watch FTA channels on your computer or phone, data free and without disturbing anybody for middle of the night, or just to relax for backyard. That comes with hello box 8 sweet like crazy.

A feature I have always dreamt of way back. Is really a must have for people like us. I no longer watch programs direct from TV again. With my earpiece plug in.... I find myself in my own zone with no distraction whatsoever or that time you have friends come over and you guys just feel like chilling outside, within the compound and the laptop go just dey stream the channels. See efizy , haha.

For wife and kids programmes)
Have dstv and gotv but am tired of monthly subs. Just need movies, cartoon and few stations showing)

On that note just buy

Strong 497s decoder.

Two to three dishes.

Face your dishes to

51.5 east for mytv channels and other channels will be added unto it on that sat

28.2 east , second dish, gtv sports plus and so many other channels there

7east /16 east / 42.5 east, a choice you and your installer have to make for the third dish.
