i once track mbc on badr with the dish with 56%
sir, can i track it using the c band channel Dounia Tv which is on global beam then replace the lnbf with the ku, will i be able to hit the target/
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).

Have u ever tried d Nigeria mux @ 60e,the signals are unstable at my end. And whatabout d Nat Geo @ azerspace/africasat 46e?
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.

hello sir, where is your destination in Nigeria, that you track Eri Tv2, are you still watching it till date, i try all i could but couldt get through. pls if you wouldt mind, educate me on how best to track eri Tv2. i have 3m dish and my destination is Benu state-Gboko Nigeira
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)

If u live in Lagos or have someone in Lagos then just go straight to Alaba. That's where I usually get mine. However there are so many fake in the market now these days coupled with fake coils inside. So be very cautious and insist on a replacement policy if discovered during installation. Cheers.
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.

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!

Boss13:
One of the picture of my dish during installation. Abeg mek una no mind the picture. They are working on the road and gutter. I was also willingly to offer 20K if the installer can track down sky uk. The deal is still on though
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:
thank you sir. appreciate. it is Strong 4922.
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 !

a summary of my failed hunt today. location: Maiduguri north east Nigeria. dish size 2.4m. had set out to track paksat. I used the frequency 4007v15555. after over 2hours of sweat in the hot Maiduguri sun, my efforts were greeted with red bars. I gave up on it and decided to hunt down idman. I used the tp 3730v30000. I got green in less than 10min. I was optimistic that after changing to my Ku band lb, I'd hit green but to my utter dismay, the bars were redder than ripe miango pepper. all efforts proved abortive. I then moved over to hunt for Eri TV. it was another difficult task but as I was about giving up, I hit green on 12523 v 6000. I was about rejoicing when I imputed the frequency for eritv on 10832 V 2780 but once more I hit red. after over 7 hours, I got nothing to show for it. am so sad but I've not given up. I still believe these channels are receivable and I'll continue d hunt. anyone with useful suggestions should please assist.
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:
I am only receiving one freq there 12588 v 22500
Thinking of bringing down the dish and reinstalling all over with a new lnb like digisat.
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

@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:
This is not a correct wire chart for use with DC.
Look out for DC Cable sizing charts on UK sites.
For your information also
A 16mm2 flexible cable of one meter is capable of handling up to 94 amp of 24v DC at 1% acceptable loss.
Therefore the cable attached to the 1.4kva Sukam inverter is for more sufficient to do its job at 100% load which will only draw about 46amp.
Moreso, no body expects you to load inverter up to 100% for a prolonged period.
This is the last time I'll talk about this.
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.

But I didn't know that its even on 22west ku.
I will find time to scan that sat

seems like you picked astra2e/2f..both sats was launched between 2012 and 2013 probably migration of transponders reduced the signal quality besides this is UK regional beam I think you are fortunate enough to lock Astra uk beam though..
Cheers cool
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!

last transponder of nilesat 102 12034H27500 has joined nilesat 201..nilesat102 now ready for graveyard orbit...
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:
Can I get nilesat 201 with a 2.4M dish in kaduna ?
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.
