Apster 7/C @76.5E

Animax Taiwan, Ekattor TV (HD)

Now to the pictures.

Starting with Thaicom 5/6 C band @78.5E

TGN, TV5 Global, Mordenine

@All,
As promised, these are screen shots of various channels along with signal strength and quality coming from
my recently renovated 3-in-1 COMSTAR dish.

Compared to last year, a few changes here and there - especially for C BAND HD channels. Also, a few stations
seemed to have moved places (as is always the case) and a great many KU BAND channels have arrived the
scene as against what was previously available.

At the end of the pictures, I will be posting a template mapping available stations to their present satellite
positions and their tracking frequencies.

Happy Independence celebration to every patriotic Citizen in the House!!!

VIVA FTA!!!

opeall5: U hv done a very good job,but pls can i hv any channel to watch apart from irib on C band i hv 2.4 dish if there is kindly send post the freguency and the positing thank alot

@opeall5,

Thanks for asking. Actually there are way too many channels on C band you can watch apart from IRIB.
Check below posts for info. Looks like I just made your day!

johnbull942: @GeorgeD1,

i want to install a 4m dish and i want to get nilesat/mbc and also hotbird/irib; how do i go about it

i will like to contact u, GeorgeD1

@johnbull942,

You can reach me on my yahoo mail.

Freddygaz: Thats so intriging...waiting for the reception details of hot bird and the astras
Happy hunting

@Freddygaz,

Tracking frequencies will be mainly for C band satellites and a few KU band DTH satellites normally receivable on 120cm and
below dish. Hotbird is an out-of-footprint bird and does not fall into this category.

Next, I will be posting screen shots of various satellites positions and channels.
And of course my annual list of tracking frequencies for C - band and KU DTH satellites applicable to South, East and
West. Compilation in progress. Stay TUNED!

Job completed! The finished dish pointing at Amos 5/KU. In this position using the 3-in-1 set up, you can recieve
both Amos 5/Ku (middle LNB) and Arabsat 5/C (right hand side LNB) without moving the dish.

Pauxis 0.1db KU - the LNb that saved the day.
Ok, I must confess I've never really been a fan of pauxis (ever since my sad experience with their underperforming 0.3db single LNB)
but I was blown away with the signal reception I got from this 0.1db twin LNB. It truely confirms that its noise figure is not just
a stamp used as a marketing gimmick (which unfortunately is the case with most LNBs).

I will truely recommend for anybody tracking DTH KU signals. You can't go wrong with this beauty!

Strong C - band LNB. Be sure to open the blue cover and check the throat.
A number is inscribed at the bottom - from k4 to k6. Presently K6 is still the
highest grade.

And for all those currently battling with interference from GSM and WIFI signals
on their C-Band signal reception, STRONG C band LNB is your friend.
Ever since I changed from SUPERMAX C band to STRONG, all that has been history.
You can take my word for it.

The works (equipment and materials):

A view from below:

The 3 - in - 1 setup:

Circular C - band LNB at the top,
Pauxis 0.1db KU lnb at the middle (yellow plastic cover) and
Linear C - band LNB at the bottom.

@all,

It has taken a while but as promised these are the pictures of the renovation works
carried out on my 3-in-1 motorised COMSTAR dish recently.

Brief sypnosis:

1) Jack was getting stuck in one position too frequently
2) Signal loss on mostly the KU lnb and circular C band
3) Troubleshooting results pointed to a weak LNB and too small jack wire

So, off I went and swung into action.

1) Changed out circular C band lnb from STRONG K5 to K6
2) Changed out under-performing Ku premium 2 lazer lnb with Pauxis 0.1db lnb
3) Changed out regular jack wire and replaced with 1.5mm 4-core flex cable
4) Changed out under-performing so-called heavy duty jack in favor of regular 24inch jack

Result: My dish is back and better.

Ok, now to the pictures:

@One4me,

What you need is fastsatfinder. You can download it here:

Take note that is not free though. If you like it, pay for it.

TotalGreen: my oga

always available

hello totalgreen,

its been quite a while. nice to see you're back.

@All,

Over the weekend, I carried out much needed renovation works on my 3 -in - 1 comstar dish and
the results have been so splendid!
Right now I'm in the process of re-tracking the dish. A lot of new godies to explore. New positions,
New HD channels on C - band. My dish all seems to have bounced back from the cold!

Pictures coming soon!

hi,

thanks to all who showed interest in this phone. unfortunately, offer has elapsed.

especially for the lagos guys, sorry i couldn't send this over for physical checks, neither was it necessary though.

this poster never got scammed by inspired_m when he sent this much amount over the net for these beauties:

https://www.nairaland.com/409061/geroge-ds-2006-highlander-mrs/9#11463163

so never was going to leave the country or go into hiding because of 50k (what would i be thinking?)

ok, that's by the way.

and, about that innocent old woman? hmmmmmmm! i think she finally didn't feature much in this.

but Mr I (INDECISION) did!

akplatnum2005: well done bro, was able to glance tru ur previous effort on badr4-6, they were awesome. What do u think of 1.8 pan dish location: Abj to track badr 4-6?

@akplatnum2005,

For Abuja, you will need up to 3m for badr 4 although you may get a few channels from badr 5 & 6 with lesser dish,
MBC, BBC world, fox series, etc will not pop.

Binsule: Hello sir, its good to see you, how I wish u will recommend 1.8m and abovE to track nilesat mbc here in Area (warri), any hope for a better lnb to do so?

@Binsule,
I wish I could say that but the reality on ground for now requires we use 3m and above for nilesat here.
Even with the 3m, only a handful of the channels will pop and they may not stay 24/7 with this everyday rain.
For best results, think of 3.5 to 4m.
As for LNB,stargold fuji remains king - assuming of course you can't lay your hands on the RED CLASSIC.

Just in case for those wondering, this phone is neither defective nor stolen and I'm not desperate to sell.
Deals like this come once in a blue moon and for the discerning few, they always rush to grab them.

If this one passes you by, pls don't blame the innocent old woman in the village.
Don't blame your neighbour. Well, you know who to blame!

Talenty: I tried all I could to track MBC on badr 4 with 1.8 meters in Benin city but no way. All I could I get was MBC HD @ Badr 6 and Algeria MUX @74%. where do I get Technosat T876 or any other receiver to view these channels?

You need minimum of 3m and above to track MBC badr 4 in Benin & environs.

graphicicon: Finally finally i got this precious device called hand held sat finder KPT-968G, its wonderful, just check out the signal display alarm tone when u hit green, it is so amazing, so now i can track satellite signal both DV-S, DV-s2 and also track mpeg4 signal without television or NEPA light, if anyone in Abuja that needs it should contact me on this number 08069338224. Here is the picture of the sat meter.

Hello graphicicon,
Looks like I'll be needing that sat finder after all.
Expect my call soon.

christmas in august?

hmmm! viju addicts!
