@Digitman2,

You are a special being with special blood. I'm a silent follower, but I chose to register yesterday so that I can appreciate this genius of our time.

Thank you, thank you. May God raise problem solver for you in Jesus name.

I have followed the guide here in the last one week and I have tracked Ningomsat and changed it yesterday to 28.2E and I hit 90%

With this straight forward guide, I can get the needed materials and add more to my 28.2E.

Thank you.

Without you there will be no me. Thanks and God bless

Mourino:
Kai. What a sacrifice. God bless you. I appreciate your effort

Without you there will be no me.

God bless you too

Davdan1315:
How strong is this setup sir?

Tested and trusted

mahkanjuh:
I hail boss, I am interested in this too ooo

I hail you back my G.

So I hope I was able to satisfy your curiosity?

Rotepim:
@Digitman2

Yes that's exactly my goal,
I sometimes manage to get a new satellite with an extra lnb but what to use to hold it is the problem.

so I need options please

I hope, I was able to satisfy your curiosity?

Between 42.5 and 51.5 degree east

Proximity between 32.9 and 42.5 degree east

Proximity between 28.2 and 32.9 east

Between 16 e and 28.2 (primary lnb)

The next images is for anyone who likes to have an ideal of proximity between each LNB

How it all appears

All the five lnb up close

16/17 east on close proximity

Remember to always use your bidding wire inbetween the lnb to create a grip.

Moving on its time to slide in the fourth satellite position .


Which is 51.5e

Using this frequency
11090 V 30000

With your wire connected to another lnb and to your tracking device once again.. You slide it in with your eyes on your tracking device and signal pops up so easily once again.


For each of them, check for the highest possible signal before moving on to the next.


Then just below the primary lnb you can attach the fifth lnb

Which is 16/17 degree east

Using this frequency

12606 H 30000 blind scan afterwards

Next step is to connect wire to another lnb, this time you're going to track 42.5 degree east.

Which will be on top of the 32.9 you just tracked.

Using this frequency 12519 H 30000.


Once again you slide it in with your eyes on your tracking device and the signal will pop up that easy.

Next step is to connect your wire to the one of the extra lnb and slide it into the pipe.

Connect the wire to your tracking device
. Bearing in mind that the next lnb that comes on top of the 28.2 will be 32.9 degree

Using this frequency 11015 v 30000.


Then you slide it an inch to your left if you are standing in front of your dish ( which to me is the best place to stand when doing the job)

Or an inch to your right if you are standing at the back of your dish


Your signal will pop up that easy

Now it's time to use your bidding wire to narrow the gap to the size of your lnb

You will notice it just on top of the joy tv lnb

After that you twist it up

In this particular setup, I decided to use 28.2 degree as my primary lnb.

So without adding anything yet, I tracked 28.2 joy tv position.

Then it was time to slot in the coolant tube pipe

Please pay attention to the image to see exactly where to slide it in

Next step what to get everything I need in place to get the job done


As you can see in the below image

So I took a measuring tape and cut out about 24 inches, too long though but I just wanted a little extra

Luckily for me I already have a spoilt fridge that has been useless for years. So I quickly cut out the size I need for my Diy experiment

At this moment I know some of you will be thinking how will I get that.

Well it's really that easy... You can either get it from all these scavengers or look for anywhere they repair refrigerators.

In the two image attached you will notice

The cooling system you normally see at the back of a fridge. In this modification we will be using the coolant tube.

Now back to the Diy materials and process.

In the past some have used just bidding wire to achieve that, and some fabricated metal.

I did try that too but was not too relaxed with the flexibility and after effect.

So that got me thinking of that one thing that could hold everything together in one sliding straight line and still did not loose signal with time or when pushed by wind.

That is how I looked around me and saw something

Now let's begin.


In my previous post
I listed four satellite position in a hurry

But it's actually five , namely

Astra 2F @ 28.2E Tp 12522 V 30000

Intelsat 28 @ 32.9°E Tp 11015 V 30000

NigComSat 1R at 42.5°E Tp 12519 H 29500

Belintersat 1 at 51.5°E Tp 11090 V 30000

Eutelsat 16A at 16.0°E /Amos 17 at 17.0°E strongest Tp 12606 H 30000

Then blind scan

Sorry for keeping you waiting, I was on transit.

Guys please I will attend to you soon.

Rotepim:
Could someone give me ideas of things I can use for DIY multiple lnb holders with pictures . Pleaseeee......

If your goal is to track

28.2 /32.9/42.5/51.5

All in one dish?

Then I can give you an idea that works like a charm, to use .

WaytoGo:
Thank you! Thank you! My testimony and breakthrough are not complete without appreciating God and yourself.


God bless you for all your sacrifices and supports.

God bless you too... Abundantly

WaytoGo:
The instability is second to none as I had some, if not most, of my channels, go blank this morning but it came back-- I am on multi-stream, tp is, 11090/v/30000.

It's a very normal thing for the people transmitting on that frequency. Even the same at some point or another still happened when they were transmitting in the west.

So people should just take a chill pill and look for other channels to watch during any black out or unstable signal.

WaytoGo:
Honestly, it's nothing extraordinary.

Let me break it down ;
Well, like I said a day ago I started my FTA-DIY with a 60cm dish, and of course, with a strong LNB.

It happens that I started with a strong LNB without having any idea of what quality was, and to be honest, my target was multi tv satellite position because I felt it would be the easiest for me to hit as a learner and newbie. So, after several attempts, learning from baby steps of setting/aligning the dish I made the first attempt/move to mount my dish on the wall but I never knew it won't come easy as several attempts to nail the stuff of the wall failed.


Anyway, let me not bore you with stories and go straight to the point. Well, I felt since mounting my dish on the wall was like mission impossible I opted for an iron( a tiny one by the way) poll, and there the journey started...


Well, my first success was multi tv( and what a memorable day, you know that feeling now!), and after my first breakthrough, I mount and unmount my dish countless time and hit the screen in the same direction at least for, almost or over a month until I perfected the act and got used to it.

But this couldn't quench my thirst for more so I felt let me do some research and look for more satellite position it was then I discovered there is another sat, Nigcomsat but when I discovered it would a bigger dish to hit it position I felt kind of disappointed and down because that means I will have to buy another dish.


I was contemplating this when it dawned on me that 'why not try this position with your 60cm fish and see how it goes? '.
I waited for a few days doing the calculation and all that and after all that I proceeded the next day and headed to my dish poll. I failed at the first attempt, in fact on several attempts until I worked on my patience and endurance level.


Cut the long story short, after I moved to and perfected the position of Nigcom I moved to Belintasat which I found here, and with your supports and guidance this one wasn't that difficult for me after all, and of course, with my 60cm dish this time as well. Perfected and mount and unmounted until it became perfect for me.


Then, Intelsat 68E, I found it requires a big dish too because of its elevation level, at 16, and indeed it was almost impossible to accomplish this one but not because it's all hard but because its elevation level is almost impossible to achieve with a 60cm dish on a standing poll-- you know there is a way the average dish poll it bent or manufactured to lower its position?


First picture - that's the position of the Christian channels. This is what I didn't, I having study the dish elevation level on my pathfinder (16) I then stood at the back of my dish and calculated the dish elevation and place my.....' I will explain this in my next message ( my strategy) ' but I found this one won't require that at all so I simply apples pressure on the dish and force it down( a bit twisted as you can see on the poll) sideway just to locate at least something close to the elevation level. Well, after several attempts I hit the green at the signal 45-51 on my small dish with my strong lnb.


I noticed one thing when I tried to change my lnb (none strong lnb) to hit nigcomsat, all attempts failed. So, it's safe to say that, perhaps, the only way I was able to achieve all these with my 60cm dish is courtesy of my cheap strong decoder lnb.

Observe, you'll notice that that lnb arm didn't align with the poll? Well, that's how I pulled that off with my tiny dish, lol!

Bravo!!, just reading your post reminded me of someone I used to know (me, smiles)

Your determination to succeed is very interesting to follow, considering the amount of passion you put into it.

All I can say is, more and more satellite tracking to your accomplishment. You have made us proud.


By the way, as I was reading between the lines, I noticed you saying that you heard or was told that 42.5 degree and 68.5 degree needs big dish to be tracked.

So with my eyes closed I decided to go through every single dish size I have seen. That was used to track 68.5e, from 15years ago till this very day and it was all 60cm. It's only on rare occasions that you notice 90cm being used, majorly because of the amount of shades reducing the signal, due to trees in that location.

Also that of 42.5 not still possible with 60cm dish being said by the same set of people, like seriously. Wow thank God you never allowed yourself to be enslaved by such school of thought, because it's very very obvious that they belong to that set of installers with little experience and as such can easily discredit 60cm.

What I am about to say now might sound unrealistic to that set of people but it's so so true.

Like many many years ago, I went to the market to buy some solar panels and the shop next to the one I was buying those solar products.sells satellite tv materials. For the first time in my life I saw a 30cm dish.

Yes a 30cm dish, my G you need to see the way I take leave solar shop and grab the dish before e go disappear.

Anyways long story short. When I finally had the time, sharply I put the dish to a test. I tracked 68.5e, 36e.28.2e and even 16e, back then with the 30cm dish.

But later leave am for 28.2 (joy tv) because it was the latest satellite in town back then. Just the cuteness was a trill to my eyes, lol. About 2 years ago, my wife brother come carry am, use am install 36 degree for him bunk. Till this day the 30cm is still serving the purpose. If I fit make am to my in-law place today I go snap for you to see.

Now what's the undertone to my story?

Is simple, don't allow your tracking skills to be limited by the words of someone who probably has never been willing to go the distance you are willing to go, just to hunt down that bird.

Imagine someone coupling a 3m dish together on an over head tank 30ft above ground. A white man will go and hire crane to pull that off. So my guy, make we leave the matter like that, I like your way.
