Hello I am trying to set up the best free to air peace of mind for somebody.

The TV got an inbuilt decoder with port labelled DVB-S/S2

What is the best outdoor antenna to get some digital channels even if na christian channels?

Possible reasons: Existing GOTV and DStv subscription keeps repeating same program every other day for 365 days and the circle continues 😂

I don't know if you are an experienced installer but you can install 26°E/28°E for your client. If you are an experienced installer, then get a 90cm dish and install 26°E/28°E as primary. Then add 16°E and 42.5°E as secondary. Happy hunting.

Hello Odilibe.

Trump is doing great, no questions about that.
My only reservation is that he may not actually be truthfully right about all his actions.
Iran need to be fully disarmed and made a police state without armed forces.

Sure. Trump is performing more than the united nation, the bunch of crazy fools.

United States President Donald Trump says Hamas and Israel have agreed on the first phase of his plan for a ceasefire in the war on Gaza and an exchange of captives.

“I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan,” the US president wrote on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday.

“ALL the hostages will be released very soon, and Israel withdraw their troops to an agreed upon line,” he added.

“The mediators announce that tonight an agreement was reached on all the provisions and implementation mechanisms of the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, which will lead to ending the war, the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, and the entry of aid. The details will be announced later,” Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Majed al-Ansari wrote on X.

The announcement came hours after Trump said negotiations were going “very well” and that he may travel to the Middle East later this week.

“I may go there sometime toward the end of the week, maybe on Sunday,” he told reporters at the White House on Wednesday.

Senior officials from Qatar, Turkiye, Egypt and the US joined the delegations in Egypt’s Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on Wednesday, the third day of the talks, as the mediators pressed the two sides to resolve their differences over Trump’s 20-point proposal.

The first phase of the plan calls for a ceasefire and the release of 48 Israeli captives held in Gaza, including 20 who are believed to be alive, and the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.

Hamas has submitted its list of detainees to be freed as part of the proposed swap.

Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and special envoy Steve Witkoff, as well as Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer – a close aide of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – were participating in the negotiations on Wednesday, Israeli and Palestinian sources said.

Also joining the discussions was the prime minister of longstanding key mediator Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani

I 🫡 salute, still remember those days of research and lnb testing..
We are watching 👀 still an ASAS patient but on medication

Good to hear from you Mr Odilibe.
The lnbf you posted here is from an Inverto product. This particular product is not common in the market and expensive. I wish I could lay my hands on this particular lnbf.

GeorgeD1:
Well done to folks like you for keeping the thread active.
My 5M is presently hooked on 7E ever since 13E decided to bid our shores goodbye

ASAS still very strong but I now augment with hippeetevee

Good evening Mr GeorgeD1.
That your 5m dish suppose to be receiving some mouth watering channels on 28 degrees east, the European beam.

GeorgeD1:
Well said. However, you failed to mention the fact that Seun has refused to change with the times. NL has fallen far behind in terms of innovation and most peeps simply moved on after waiting for ages to see the changes reflected on the site which hasn't been forthcoming.
As we all know, the only constant thing in life is change and if you refuse to move with the times, you risk being left behind.
For instance, in this age of social media and smart phones, what is Seun waiting for before launching an app to make for better access to the site?
Is it rocket science? Even if he can't write codes, he's rich enough to commission others to do it for him. But I guess he's very much comfortable with how things are presently, so why bother?

Good to see you here again brother and my fellow ASAS patient. Though I don't know if you have been cured of ASAS disease.

Really, Seun never cared to improve this site. A whole lots of folks was complained then that he need to do something to improve this site from various thread but he never cared. What a pity!!!

I really missed those old days when this thread was blazing hot. I wish could turn back the hands of time...

I salute you GeorgeD1, Odilibe, Badaru, Dejsam, Obnelly, Kungu, Sammu, Twinskenny, Olofofo, Townjuju, Jujuchemist, Life707, Freshp, Newton, Olenyi, Auch, Pidzo, Ogoojohn, Nzeval, Microgiant and whole lots of others that I couldn't mention their names. Not forgetting some folks that still make some contributions here like Adubam and others.

The Federal Government has announced plans to launch two new communication satellites, NigComSat-2A and NigComSat-2B, as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s digital transformation, national security, and economic growth.

The move, spearheaded by the Nigerian Communications Satellite Limited (NigComSat Ltd), will replace NigComSat-1R, which has been operational since 2011 and is now expected to remain active until January 2028 following a lifespan extension.

Speaking at a one-day media training in Abuja, Engr. Tope Yosoof said the two High-Throughput Satellites (HTS) will deliver expanded coverage across West, Central, South, and parts of East Africa.

With 77 transponders on multiple bands, the satellites will support broadband connectivity, national security, education, media, agriculture, offshore operations, and smart city applications.

Yosoof explained that the project will run on a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, with a Request for Proposal (RFP) already issued to attract global manufacturers and service providers.

Managing Director/CEO of NigComSat Ltd, Mrs. Jane Nkechi Egerton-Idehen, emphasized the role of the media in shaping public understanding of space technology and Nigeria’s digital ambitions.

“Our digital transformation depends not just on engineers and policymakers, but also on how the media tells our national tech stories,” she said.

President of the Nigeria Information Technology Reporters’ Association (NITRA), Blessing Olaifa, described the training as a “game-changer” and urged for greater budgetary support to enhance NigComSat’s media engagement.

With NigComSat-2A and 2B, Nigeria aims to reposition itself as a leading space-faring nation in Africa, while boosting ICT access, creating jobs, and driving inclusive growth.

I can see you GeorgeD

god2baski:
I need hello box 6 combo remote control, mine is having issues. Any idea where to get another one, or if there is another remote that work with the decoder, let me know.

Take your decoder to where they are selling remote control unit and ask them to test the RCU on the decoder for you to know the one that can work on your satellite decoder.

You can still ask them to code the RCU for you if they really know how to do that bro.

Hello everyone, please between GT media decoders and strong Srt decoders, especially the H265 series, which has the best picture quality?

I have not used GT Media decoder before but I think that it will be better than Strong decoders based on reviews I have read about them on internet.

atumatualali98:
Good evening everyone! This thread is no longer like before. What is happening? Please let's make this thread hot like before (2016-2024) thanks. Viva fta...

Yeah. Whatsapp group chat and Telegram have really affected this thread. In the past, we use to rub mind here on a lot of issues but not anymore. Update on hunting of fringe satellite is no longer discussed.

By the way, I hunted badr and Es' hail 1&2 on 26 degrees east this past weekend but I could get bein sport and other channels on Es' hail 1&2. It was flashing but other fta channels on badr 7 and 8 was tracked down with 2.4m offset fiber dish (Vsat dish). Location is Anambra. Couldn't lay my hands on a better LNBFs. Maybe I would have gotten that Es' hail satellites.

In the past, signal strength on 26 degrees east is stronger and better than signal strength on 7 degrees west. Probably because of a lot of bein sports channels on 26 degrees east maybe they decided to reduced the signal strength on 26 degrees east.

I just bought dual way stargold lnb original one last week #9500 from one of trusted guru and is perform on both V and H on my 3m both on 9e and 13e and mind u to differentiate between original and fake stargold is difficult so don't just buy any one. is this forum I met on guy that sell 4way stargold fake for me if not d customer believe in me I will pay d money back.

Hello lamtam0,
I need to talk to you dude.

Some half-baked satellites dish installers are calling themselves engineers and they even go about asking for transponders. Can you believe that?

Good morning @all.

Nafizzey:
I have 90cm dish Sir.will it work?

Hello Nafizzey.
Try and track NigComSat then place another lnbf on top of the lnbf that is receiving NigComSat and you will see the signal for Luft Tv appear immediately. It is very easy to track.

Check the video clip above our post. I think Adubam illustrated it on that video tutorial. Here is the screenshot of the video tutorial. It is just above our posts.

Nafizzey:
Is it possible to get Nigcomsat and luft TV on one Lnb Sir.?Thank you

Yes of course. With good lnbf and 65cm. You won't get all the channels from both satellites with good signal quality if you use any dish that is bigger than 65cm. Remember to use good quality lnbf if you really want to get good quality signal from both satellites.

Another war just broke out in Gaza. At least about 170 people killed.

The Reuters News agency,citing medics, says that at least 112 people have been killed, including many children, in Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip.
tacks targeted senior figures in the Palestinian armed movement.

The Israeli military has accused Hamas of rearming its forces and preparing to carry out attacks, according to a report by the Kan broadcaster.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he instructed the military to take “strong action” against Hamas in Gaza, blaming the group for refusing to release captives and not agreeing to Israel’s proposals on the ceasefire.
“Israel will, from now on, act against Hamas with increasing military strength,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement.
Hamas has for weeks accused Netanyahu of not being interested in bringing the fighting to an end in Gaza.

Rescan your decoder on 42.5° Nigcom Sat.

Couple of interesting FTA channels are open

It’s the normal DSTV dish that comes with explorer… dunno the size

Ok. You are receiving Astra 2F. There is a sport channel on that satellite called SPORTY that airs live matches. But get an experienced installer and tell him to install 16/17 degrees east, 26/28 degrees east and 42.5 degrees east for you and you will surely enjoy it. Remember, I told you to get an EXPERIENCED INSTALLER and not half baked installer that doesn't know the degrees of satellites. 26/28 degrees will be the primary satellites while 42.5 degrees east will be secondary satellite ( at the top) and 16/17 degrees east will also be another secondary satellite but it will be at the bottom of the the primary satellites. I hope this helps.

bobkezel:
How do I get a channel that shows cartoon

You can receive cartoon channel on 16, 7, 42.5 degrees east

AnonymousMe:
Hi guys… need some ideas… I recently got an h264 decoder tigernet showing nilesat100/102 or so…all it shows is plenty church and Ghanaian channels which I really don’t fancy… is there a way to watch more decent channels that shows Nigeria movies, live football matches local naija channels if possible? Ty

Can you name three channels that you are currently receiving? What size of dish do you use?

adubam:
And your government is clearing them in on daily basis and making huge revenue from import duties on them. Then you must arrest your government for aiding the import of illegal items.

Haahahah. This your argument is some how controversial bro.
You know, those decoder with decryptive account can be legally used for decrypting of paytv that is out of one's footprint but cannot be legally used to decrypt paytv that is within one's footprint.

frankobobby:
Where is your location bro?

From Anambra State.

Southboy:
I have a televes hvec decoder. How can I use it watch dstv channels even if i have to pay for account. It has Nashare2 account

Hello Southboy,
I would want you to know that hacking of paytV is illegal. Maybe you should ask the seller you bought the decoder from for such help.
