fatjo7:The C-band lnb can only give you an idea of 30.5e position but for out of footprint signal, using C-band lnb and then replacing with Ku lnb won't hit d target. Its easier to locate joy TV(28.2e) first and shift slightly to the right while swinging d dish up and down gradually(starting from the location of joy tv). NB: it is just slightly below and to d right of joy TV(when facing thedish). |
Cheny:The Nigerian MUX is stable here and doing well after d latest keys were available about 3wks ago @59-60 Azerspace is not available. Very soon I will be posting signal strengths and pictures of all sat I have for the first time here... thus following footsteps of George D. |
Cheny:Yes |
fatjo7:I stay in Jos. To be more helpful, I will ask you a few questions 1) Have you tracked badr4/6 ? 2) what's your signal strength on 11919? If your answer is yes, it means your dish is good enough for out of footprint reception. Next your signal level on mbc will give an idea if you can or not get it in Gboko. My recent experience with eri tv2 in Jos is as follows: 1)Three installations of locally made 3M pan in various locations in jos, only one got eri TV 2!, the other two didn't but these two dishes dat couldn't track eri tv2 shared one similar trait...they couldn't nail badr4/6 which is available on 2.4M strong dish. Your guess is as good as mine on those dishes. 2)Up to 12months ago or thereabouts, eri TV 2 was available on 2.6M dish but after changing their frequency from 12606 to 12730, signal is now available on a well centered 3M dish 3) Locally fabricated dish can made you feel like you don't know how to track sat signal sometimes irrespective of your experience esp if the dish reception isn't good and its tiring n frustrating.Thus a lot of patience, tweeqing n changing between sats to obtain d perfect focus for each dish is required. Let me know your answer about badr4/6(11919H) |

@ Umassor & Badaru1, Good job! Please when updating the house, kindly look at eutelsat 3.1e. I will give info after completing my ongoing project in Jos Cheers |
Back then in 2009, thereabout... Google group was set up... There was outcry like we have now.. We all knew its(Google group) fate.. Everyone calm down, sheath your swords, its a free world people! |
Talibanis:Thanks. My guy in Alaba said he got one but its not original and i should look elsewhere. I am now waiting for Obi electronics Kano to order from his supplier abroad. I was asked to call back next week. I am hoping they will bring it in soon coz by next week i will be in d 4th week of waiting. Thanks all the same. |
docbindl:Getting heavy duty jack these days is a big task too. Currently looking for a 36" heavyduty jack personally for more than 2weeks. Have contacted all sources I can but still waiting |

Boss13:Its tricky to comment realistically on this dish issue without a 3D view. Kindly give us pictures showing space between the dish and each of the buildings and one focusing on the neck cos after enlarging the picture u posted i cant see a jack on the neck. Also post picture of the current position of the dish at 13e. Frankly speaking , with that height it would b impossible to motorize that dish considering the fence and the two adjacent buildings . @emma, i made a post on disappearance of sky uk on 4m dish abt 2months ago, so lets give the man (jostunde) the benefits of doubt. @ Jostunde, i have strong reservations on the overall job , from choice of location to height of the pole to making ur client believe you can motorize that dish in that space. After all that is said, Boss13, No conclusive verdict can be passedon this case. Kindly post more pictures for fruitful discussion and ultimate solution . Cheers |
eddyline:U are welcome bro. I forgot to ask if you tried 2M tv channel frequency , cant remember now coz i aint home. Kindly google it. Also manipulate the lnb to 2 or 7 O' Clock position and adjust till signal level is good My ERI tv2 on 3M is 61% on srt4930L, 2M is 79% Also dont assume ur signal level to be higher because u are closer to the footprint......it doesnt always work dt way with that bird. They seem to transmit the signal in such a way that if the signal is not upto 56-57%, it wont work while other sat with 48-49%, its stable. I have seen a C-band channel that, if its not up 73% on 4669xii, it wont be stable. Just a caution my dear....be patient ! |
Also hope your receiver is mpeg4/HD |
eddyline:Weldone i will say....but 1) i was in maiduguri for a year( 2008/2009) in polo- Its always better to start tracking by 4;30-5pm 2) With Eri tv, u will be covered....kindly input 12722 v 2220 or 12730 v 2590 and give us the testimony 3) I will encourage you to motorise ur 2.4M dish and be happy from inside ur house ,swinging the dish across your horizon.....u will be surprised! 1.8M back then was fun tracking hotbird with gangstar101. 4) There are people who can motorise it for u, especially if you go to the street beside monday market. Cant remember alhaji's name now but he's shop is d biggest there and i bought my echolink receiver back then from him |
EMMAACHILE:My suggestions: 1) I agree with you to bring down the dish and reconfigure the petals(usually 5 in number for local dishes). That is, leave petal 1 in its position, take petal 2 to position 5, then petal 5 to position 3 and then petal 3 to position 2...this just an example. I hope you understand what I mean. 2) The diameter of the neck of your dish is abit small (its like that of a 1.8M dish from the picture). I don't know how to help you on that but I know that when I order those local dishes from Kaduna to Jos, I don't use the neck that comes with it because its usually too small for the size..so I have a guy that's is very good with fabrication that matches the dish size esp if I am going to motorize it. I think you should look into that. Also , I am fine with your choice of opting for digisat dual or quad. Cheers |
faithchild:I use 3M here in Jos to nail NTV spor and Asenjeff in makurdi gets that too with 3.2M. I cldnt hit green on Rustavi2 wch is an addition to the sport channel array to have and that's why I asked Asenjeff if he got that channel. Duhok and sulaimani TV are available on 2.6M here in Jos and Abuja. ogunjobiali:You will require 3M and above |
Asenjeff:Thanks. Anyway get the keys for NTV spor and u will be good this season. Have u tried duhok and Suleimani TVs @57e...laliga |
Asenjeff:Do you get Rustavi2? |
For all those looking for a satellite shop to buy big dishes, here is the address. On looking at this 2yr old receipt, just realized, they have a branch office in abuja.

sunene1:@ALL, kindly note that when tracking satellites on the west, maximum LNB skew is 5 or 10' 0 Clock position. On the East, its 2 or 8 '0 clock |
richmon74:Its amazing how people apply theory with out practical. We all know that a 16mm cable can take up to a 100A if its pure copper. Please I don't think you should say more as you promised. |
odilibe:Yes TM2 is same as ORTM2. But I didn't know that its even on 22west ku. I will find time to scan that sat |
odilibe:Yes quite fortunate but sometimes this signal stuff don't follow footprints because I expect us to get the European beams here since it has a wider coverage but No we don't while those in Kaduna can't get the UK spot beam but have all other European beams. Funny though! |
Ibaku:These are the two highest tps here 11307V 27500.....used to be the highest here@71% but cracks badly on 3M but pops up on 4M during the day n goes off in the evenings 10890H22000. ...cracks badly on 4M |
Sky UK , no longer receivable on 4M in jos in the last 2weeks and cuts across all guys having 4M. Signal is so weak that it cracks badly during the day and goes off in the evening. So Sad! |
highbury314:Am presently staying in Jos , so can give the jos fone number as I no longer have the Kaduna n kano numbers anymore Abdul Jos- 08180544799. safex:Current price is #65,000 for the foreign made 3M. It has jumped from 55k in November, 2014 to 65k now due to dollar as they will say. |

highbury314:Old bukuru park,Jos, Kano road, kaduna France road, Kano HAH:No! You need a 3M pan dish. Surprisingly some people in Lagos get it on 2.6M dish with a good Lnbf. |
odilibe:As far as we in the north are concern, nilesat 102 is dead since May2015 as 1.8M can't nail it any more. HAH:The answer is partly Yes and partly No. Yes - some channels No - you won't get all the JSC 1-16. This is the reason the dish sellers started bringing 3M foreign made pan dishes to the market. As of November 2014, most viewing centers were skeptical and the sellers had mainly the Lebanese guys buying the 3M for their use at home. |
Bonuwa:Grow up. We all know that he's not trying but be sensitive about the dead |
