Digitman: 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. Motivation from the digitman |

Digitman: 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. 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? |

ajaymina: Hello box8!, never heard of it but sounds like an interesting device.
So, pls I will like to know which of these mentioned below would you advise a newbie to FTA get,
Strong S497s.
C-sat c8 pro.
Hello box8.
Tnks. 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 |

Digitman: 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. The efizy too much my brother, I also experienced it when I ported an hellobox firmware on my csat c8 pro+ and it's really cool |

Digitman: My brother nor mind me oh, na FTA madness just catch me like 10 years back when Google direct me come this place.
I first rush go buy strong 4663 and two 60 CM dish... I rush come back to this place, I hear of c-band, I run go buy 1.8m dish.. I rush come back again, I hear of mbc, osn and micro box... Quickly I connect someone here based in Lagos. I buy 2.4 metre. The dish nor catch osn and bein sport well, na so, I rush go onitsha market for east go buy 3metre dish. That one come finally catch am.
After a while I just dismantle everything, go buy dstv keep for house.
Funny enough, it was when I start being active again in this forum ten years after, that I decided to go parking store, bring them out. So as to dey updated, just to fit they answer questions that pops up, from the newbies or ideas or new info on sat position.
The same reason I was curious about the young man info, but he still chooses to be a funny guy. Which is nice though.
Anyway to answer your question, I just counted three 90cm dish, one 2.4metre, one 3metre , then 1m and 1.8 dey for parking store. This FTA can really make one look crazy. Sometimes my wife will just be asking me one question all the time. " so this dstv in this house is not enough for you to watch? " why do you keep turning dish up and down and still you end up not really watching anything ? Then I will reply, it's an old habit that refuse to die na. Lol..
Forgive my long long talk. I just wan make we gist small Oga u dey try o. Na only one 1m, one 0.9m, one 0.6m I get. I'm planning to get 5m bud cuz that's what will get almost all the whole package in South West. |

Satellite TV Technology › Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by dlollyboi: 3:46pm On Feb 27, 2021 |
god2baski: Bro you said 4cm, shouldn't it be about 8cm or so, if you substract 51.5 from 42. just asking? It doesn't work like that Sire that's the degree. It's like an arc and chord, the length of an arc is more than that of its chord |

He asked what interesting station you got with your 1.8m, is that too much to ask after all we hear for information and enlightenment. Kindly find somewhere to bury your ego, we don't need such attitude in here! |

Digitman: PROCEED BUT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A STEADY SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY BEFORE DOING SO.
because if the light goes off during upgrade, it will be a sad story.
As for me, I have always done such with three methods to avoid stories that touch.
First is to connect the decoder to a ups
Second is to use generator
Third was to on my inverter.
Though I won't say I have not use nepa when I was too lazy to go switch to solar. But I always notice that the duration of that few minutes of upgrade, has always made me hold my breath. Because the nepa in my area can be so annoying at some point. Lol If light goes off during upgrade, it can still be revived via rs232 or ch341a programmer but it's always better to be on the safe side using uninterrupted supply as you've advised. |

Digitman: How I wish you stated some of the satellite you have been able to track around that axis. Then I would have use it as an easy guide.
So please forgive me if I use what you already know as a guide.
If you have tracked nigcomsat 42.5 degree east before. Then all you have to do when in that exact position is to bring/ slide your dish down like 2 inches, the signal will pop up, then you tweak for more signal strength.
If it's is joy tv position you have perfected in tracking. Then standing behind your dish, shift your dish between one to two inches to your left, then slide it down to like 8 To 9 inches, the signal will pop up.
If it is dstv position you have perfected in tracking, then shift your dish about an inch to your left then slid it down to about 6 Inches, the signal will pop up.
Also if you are interested in having a mental picture of what that position looks like. It's almost completely down like former mytv position 68.5 east not absolutely but relatively.
By the way use
11090 v 30000 to track
Your LNB should be at 3.0 clock.
Happy tracking
Below is a visual image if need be ( the blue dish) Oga how many dish u get for � |
