Buy and install a better antenna that has booster. You will get more channels. Otherwise you will have to be patient until when the signals are increased by the service provider.

Flodel:
so how much is this decoder? and can one receive its signal somewhere in kwara state

@Flodel,
The Star Tv decoder is sold for 9k. It uses normal Tv antenna (not dish) to receive stations(now 42) like BBC, Aljazeerah, MGM Movies, BET, Etv Mtv, NTAe, NTAk etc. It has not come to kwara state yet.

@Zenus,
I have read that page you referred me to since, the illustrations there do not answer my question of merits and demerits of series/parallell conection of baterries for energy storage in solar power/inverter system. Pls help.

@Geoge D,
Babajiroro of Nigeria FTA (courtesy Enitan2002) could you pls confirm the merits and demerits of parallel vs series connection of batteries to store energy. Does it have any effect on the inverter, the charge cotroller or the batterry themselves?

@George D,

A promise kept. This is an ambitious project man! It must have gulped a mil. Your setup is better than generator, the only problem is the initial capital outlay. Go ahead and coach us. We are all ears, abi na EYES? Congrats, 24hr FTA viewing without noise, smoke, fuel or NEPA bills.

From the Begining

austinooo:
House, we are easily deceived in Nigeria, can you imagine that the whole lots of promises by startimes television that they offer a dishless decoder is fake, most areas in Lagos are not getting good reception, the E star channel nener see the light of the day and to make the matter worse, I called their customer care and they told me to come and buy a special antenna from them for 3k. I must confess no interesting thing abt them. I feel sell my own if I get buyer

And NOW

austinooo:
Thanks for your contributions, I can now receive a clear signal from my startimes. I was made to buy a good external antenna(3k) before I started getting signals. (I was angry about my post because I was made to understand before I bought it even from this forum that it works without dish but only with indoor antenna) Also, their much promised entertainment channel has come on air Friday. I was made to understand that they transmit from Yaba and that effort are being made to boost the signal. If you want it, consider your location and the cost of the antenna in addition to the decoder, anyway, I can now get what I bargained for

@All
Hurray, Hurray Star Tv has one satified customer in Austinooo. Kudos to Nairaland who provided the platform for the interaction.

@Litaninja

You could get them from a Panel Beater or shop that sells FTA accessories.

@Rextab
The above was addressed to all but I could not understand your message because of the abbreviations. Or was it meant for a select few who could decipher it? The essence of any and every communication is to reach out and be understood by the intended receipient. Please clarify.

litaninja:
@ Hotwire: Still on the matter! Can you please put up detailed pics and procedures of your construction of the holder especially how to get the radius if it is curved. Details generally. And also the tracking procedure for the secondary lnbs. Tanx a bunch in advance!

@Litaninja

Thanks for the interest in the Multi-LNB setup. The pictures have already been published on pages 5 and 6 of this Thread. I bought the holders off the shelf and they are straight not curved. My procedure is crude but effective. No mathematics, no compass, no meter, just common sense.
You first of all set up the primary LNB and get a good green signal strength. Once you get the nilesat stations you are good to go for the second LNB which will give you Zimbo, madascar, MTA International etc. You hold the LNB down a straight line (imaginary) in the direction that the dish faces. By trial and error you will get a green signal that will enable you scan and get Zimbo and the others.
A litte bit further down with the third LNB you will get the MultiTV if you have an Mpeg-4 receiver. I hope I was not too sketchy.
Tracking Gurus in the house will further assist. eg Twinskenny, George D, Enigma, microgiant, olofofo ,

@Olofofo
@twinstaye

Please do something about some of our members who opened multiple threads on the same subject, it is unethical. If they do it for marketing purposes, they should be sanctioned and their content deleted. It is an eyesore and distracting.

@Illish
Yes ooh! Post the frequencies if they are free. I am more interested on the Mpeg4 frex. You have aroused so many members' interest.

You are a gentleman Ogags so don't blaspheme. This thread is for giving Honour to whom it is due- George De Best.

Bolaraji:
@Malix I have taken the decoder to their headquaters at Mushin, it works fine but when I got home again no signal, no channels. I think may be what I need is antenna or what do u think?

@Bolaraji
Your problem is weak signals experienced in your location. Pls use a good external antenna eg Binatone or buy from them. And when it rains or cloudy expect poor reception or cracking pictures.

iykemann:
@all,
can someone pls give a link to the childboard.

@Microgiant,
That was sweet of you on answering that question. No criticism, no reprimand of the person. Just the link and everyone is happy.

@All
We should imbibe that culture.

selade:
Pls does anybody know the current price of Strong 4669X. I understand it's a good receiver to buy!

@Selade,
The price ranges from 16k to 18k depending on the supplier. But ensure that you get a one year guarrantee in case of unavoidable system failure. Then you can always return the receiver for a free fix. There are Gurus in the house that can assist. eg Olofofo

@Litininja
Thanks for the commendation. Knowledge has no boundaries, it is only limited to the individual's understanding.

@microgiant
Thanks for the link to the Solar Energy Thread. Good content although no much postings since May.

@George D,
That will be Great. Can't wait for the Child Board posts! Psss, I heard about a new power source (Generator?) that does not use fuel or  solar energy. If you have details include in your presentation as promised.

@George D,
Congrats on your solar project. When it is up and runing do let us in on the secret. We would love to have uninterruptible FTA viewing in our homes.

twinstaiye:
You go ahead, master of practical, with your unsolicited observations, it now suddenly guide me to know I am not good in FTA again.

@ Enitan2002
You seem to be a bad influence on our Moderator, or else, where did he learn to kill his subjects with acidic words? You are known for your vast knowledge of FTA and sharp skills of tongue lashing. I was your victim, and so were others. Imagine the Moderator calling me Master which means my days (on earth?) are numbered! Pls intercede for me, I am a novice still learning the ropes. Let his Imperial Majesty understand that I am one of his law abiding subjects. I Dou Balee with utmost respect.

twinstaiye:
Looking at the picture more closely, one would have thought, the lnb (b) is more closer to the nilesat LNB which to me seems that it is not w3a, w3a seems a little further from nilesat, unless of course I am looking at it from the point of view that my own dish is 2.4m

@Twinstaye,
Oga Moderator, you are talking theory while Enigma and I are talking practical. There are practicals done that defy theoritical logic. Pls take no offence at my unsolicited observation.

magaddai:
@Howire
Pls kindly don't forget about the stuff as promised (3LNBs on 1 dish). My email is magaddai@yahoo.com.
Thanx.

@Magaddai

Kindly check your box and also check postings above for the pictures

@ Blexxonmak
@George D
Your kind words have really motivated me. I will cover the gaps as Blexxomak suggested. Will report findings tomorrow. Thanks for the TIP.Georgie would make for a Diplomat anyday unlike some people who use grammar to hurt members.

@Solo Ing1
Thanks for the tutorial on reducing jpeg file sizes. Better to teach a person how to fish than provide the fish to him. May God increase you in resourcefull knowledge

twinstaiye:
Noone is shutting than this thread. If you read this thread like you claimed, you would have read it at the beginning of part 5 where i explain why I said this is the final part. In any case, it is because of people like you that we want this part to be the final part, your type hardly search the child boards, that is if you even know it exists. There are threads opened now on the child boards that deals with nearly everything we discussed on this thread, the reasons why it should be the final part.

@Twinstaye
You are completely wrong about your assumptions of " MY TYPE". I search the child boards like anyone else. I read this thread always and not just a claim. Come off your high horse!

@Microgiant,
I have posted the pix to your gmail. Thanks.

Hotwire,

Can you do the posting of the 1.8m pic for us to see how the magic been done.

@Jesu De
@Freshp
@Magaddai

I have taken four shots of the dish with a high res digital camera but each file is more than 1.2MB. I just realised that this forum has a restriction of 200KB as file size to be attached. Pls give me your Emails otherwise I will have to re-snap using a camera phone which is 1 Mega Pixel. See Baba Egun's contribution and pix above. He has bailed me.

@Baba Egun
Thanks for coming to my aid. My own arrangement is slightly different but achieves the same.

George_D:
don't stress yourself, my guy. i'm sure very soon there will be enough codes for the whole package and not just the bad girl channel alone. 

@ George D,
Oga teacher, don't be caught trying. Breaking and distributing codes is not our pastime. Push it to the Backyard. Everything here is legal. Abi Gurus of the house (Olofofo, Sammu, Enitan, twinstaye etc)?

@All,
Formal Launch of the Star TV with NTA is taking place soon. Infact by the time full digital transmission starts in Naija, the normal analogue TV will not be able to receive stations without some form of Adapter/Decorder.
Enjoy the view.

freshp:
@ hot wire
i will really love to see how you did it since to the best of my knowledge multi tv is on the east while nilesat is on the west. . . for malagasy i can understand its close to nilesat. but multi tv. . .well
i need to know

@Freshp
Thanks for probing further without condemning. You really have an open mind. I will post the pix shortly.

@Hotwire
Pls i'm interested in knowing how you were able to mount 3LNB on a dish and getting MultiTV, Nilesat & Madagascar. Pls what is the dish size? PLs kindly post detalis. Thanx for your reply yesterday on Strong Receiver thread.

The dish is 1.8M and is focussed to Nilesat position. I have one Diseq Switch that collects signals from the 3 LNBs and sync them to the 9x receiver. The nilesat LNB is focussed to centre of the dish while the Madagascar LNB is located at the down (west) of the centre LNB. The MultiTv LNB is riding on the Madagascar LNB further down. Everything FTA and nothing Illegal.

@Zenus,
Don't be surprised. In FTA many things are possible. The only limitation is your applicable knowledge and experience. Ask Enitan, he is Custodian of FTA knowledge.

enitan2002:
dont mind that scammer, i've met several of them fom this forum, dem no know who i once be.

@ Project

You have shot yourself in the FOOT. The gurus in this house acquired their knowledge thro honesty and diligence. You want to make profits but not ready to come out clean. You are lucky that your kinsman, DVB, has assisted you despite your modus operandi.

@Enitan2002,
Dont be easy on this guy. Take him to the cleaners pls. Enitan, were you once a scammer too? I noticed that you read his act quicker!

magaddai:
Thanx Hotwire for the response. I live in Ilorin (Naija) and i wonder if I can get additional channels on Astra 2B apart from MultiTV & Infinity. I said this because 3days ago I did a blind scan @ NIGHT on my 69x on Astra 2B & I got "AIT KADUNA" on 12511V SR 3978 and this showed on the screen - 'EVERTZ 5600MSC' with signal strength of 58, but since then the signal drop down to 27-30 and now showing 'bad signal'. Pls someone can help me out
Thanx.

@ Magaddai,

That was a "stray signal" you got to catch AIT Kaduna. I cant explain that but you MIGHT not get it again. What is the size of your dish and LNB make?

@ George D, Olofofo, Enitan2002,
Pls your opinion is important on this.

enitan2002:
and to add that, it's not everyone that did all those things you mentioned still know about DVB. I am FTA personified, i belong to the deities and forces controlling FTA, thats just the simple reason.

@ Enitan2002

Sir softly, softly oga mi! Empty Barrels, they say, Make the Most Noise. Kudos to George D, Olofofo, Sammy, Twinstaiye, blexxonmak and several silent others who make contributions without injury.

@ Twinstaye
If you shut this Season 5 FTA Thread where else will we get relevant information on FTA? Ever since I started reading this Thread I have stopped calling Technicians to adjust my dish. I got wind of MultiTV here and I promptly got a 9x. I have one dish and 3 LNBs cleverly mounted (trial & error) to receive MultiTV, Nilesat and Madagascar.
