how can one get used 4m ? anyone? thanks

twinsoris are you receiving the the hotbird 13b on that your 2.4? been told on here you need 4m plus. kindly share some of your knowledge with me.

hi experts, got a quote from the moulders at 150 k for a 4m dish, is it good or a ripoff, i didnt think it will be that much. was expecting around 50 to 60k what do you guys think?

@ billyonaire, pilots have very limited view of the extremities of aircraft when "taxiying" i.e all movement on the ground except the take off run.That is why pilots most follow marshalling signals when entering the tarmac to park and when leaving it. Now away from the tarmac enroute to the "runways" on "taxiways " there are no marshellers, however standard international civil aviation organisations markings are painted on the taxiways to deliniate a centreline, as long as the nosewheel of the airplane is kept on this line the wings of up to a 747 aircraft will be clear of all obstacles in an international airport like lagos. When things like the broken dow truck happens, I mean this is how the world work shit happens , its no big deal. In an environment with competent airport authorities, an assesment will simply be made as to the adequacy or otherwise of the wing clearance with the stuck truck, if found to be inadequate, something called a notice to airmen is sent which will advice pilots operating on the taxiway in question to deviate rom the center line by an amount sufficient to clear the truck. the review of all "NOTAMS" in force at an airport is mandatory for aircrews operating in it. According to IRS no notam was issued , therefore if the irs plane was on the taxiway centerline, nobody can do anything to the pilot.

If this is true then its a normal case of mediocrity common to all aviation industry parastatals in Nigeria upto and including the regulator NCAA. for those who dont know, there is pothole on the taxiway in portharcourt, there are no lights on the taxiway at portharcourt, the runway and taxiway at kano are not smooth. all nothing new busness as usual niaja style.

thanks adewumis, i will call you in the morning.

ibaku thanks i understand i need a very big dish to get those fringe satellites.ok so where are the big dishes sold? in ikeja preferably? and where can i get installers, most of the guys i spoke to yesterday do only dstv and hitv.

could someone recommend a professional installer in ikeja area of lagos that can achieve the above please. thanks in advance.

Greetings nairalanders! this is my first post here, so please be gentle. I just acquired a spider m500hd receiver with full hd 1080, hdtv,hdmi,usb,pvr function and mpeg 4 and internet ready through ethernet port. After paying an annual fee to the seller based in amman jordan and he programmed the receiver to be able to receive scrambled channels on the following sattellites, as long as i have an active internet connection with the box. (they termed it installing a user in the receiver)

1.astra 1,2, and 3

2.amos

3.nilesat

4. w1,w2, w3

I am so excited, i am coming back to nigeria this weekend and hope to set it up in ikeja lagos. my main interest is in getting the sky uk channels, i grew up watching them via abg and mg in kaduna, iam sure experts in the north remeber those times. Though a novice I understand that the set up required is same as free to air tv ,only difference being that the receiver will go via the internet to get the code to decrypt the scrambled channels.

that said i need advise on how realistic it will be to receive good signals on the astra satellites for sky uk,the hotbird sattellite for sky italia and amos for the yet channels. these sattelites and packages are my main interests.

the plan is to use a 2 m motorised dish for this mission with 3 lnbs as i dont have space for more than 1 dish. i hve an existing dstv dish in lagos, if i motorise it will it suffice.

i intend on hiring an installer to do the setup, interesting as doing it my self maybe, I dont have the time to learn this rather complex subject, and i need to start enjoying this thing fast. think its a good way of dumping dstv, i never really liked them anyway. pointers to good installers in ikeja area would be appreciated. i need to no as much info as possible, so they dont rip me off.

please advice on which satellites i can get etv africa sabc 1 2 and 3 i am interested in those channels also.

thanks in advance.

my first post refers, could someone kindly refer me to a professional installer around the ikeja area of lagos please.
