I think you need to talk to badaru and let him help you optimise that 4m dish of yours. There is an invacom lnb he is using with his 2.6m dish and cnn is dancing on his screen for most times of the day. It is a bit unbelievable that your not recieving cnn even with a 4m dish in Lagos![/quote]In addition, you need to check your dish alignment cos it happens in my area where cnn is generally btw 52% to 60% (if using fuji lnbf) on 1.8m pan dish & others cant get it no matter the lnbf skew.The solution most times is realignment or rearrangement (if its the fragmented type).

cantell:
@all,
Finally Nailed nilesat with my 2.4m strong dish with the help of a friend and i was surprised i got more than i expected.
The signal for the strongest tps were hanging around 63-64% and stable.
i got CNN but it was cracking at 46% and BBc was crackin a bit but viewable.
During the night, the strong the tps went up as high as 72% but cnn & bbc were down.
Anyway, i just wanted to share my experience.
My next target is a microbox cos my friend said it could open some channels there.
Pls how much is the price of microbox?

@cantell,
Tweak your Lnbf to either 10 o'clock or 5 o'clock position, i.e btw Horizontal & Vertical positions either way.
This is the best positon we track Nilesat in the North, for all H & V Frequencies to pop up without cracking.
Infact, as you move your Lnbf from other positions to 10 o'clock position which is my favorite,you'll appreciate the increase until you get to that position beyond which the signal drops.

@ George D,

Please,calm down & do what u know how to do best-read through & ignore.

obnelly:
are u getting digi tv?where is your location and what is your dish size?

YES, but not ALL the freqs. (Most stable is 12718V18410 53% ON SRT4653X,12607h27500 reaches 51% by 6pm,other spot 3 beam freqs. crack badly at 47%)
i stay in Ikara outskirt of zaria very close to kano.
I'm using an abandoned old solid dish (2.6M)

NB:TRIED BULSATCOM 39E & TURKSAT 42E TO NO AVAIL.

@ Badaru,

Thanks abt the info on  card sharing & internet stuff.
I think i'll go 4 it since the readily available keys for Digi tv {Nagra2} wch shows EPL has been hit today with the change of encryption to Nagra3.
So card sharing may well suffice .

@ALL,

I want to know if srt4910 HD receiver has more advantages over other HD receivers?
I went to buy from an accredited strong dealer in kaduna but i was referred to the Abj office,i called to make my order only to be told that it will cost me 42.4k.well i'm willing to buy bt i need to knw if its worth it. May be all the gurus may educate me more on other functions/advantages apart from its mpeg4 & HD capabilities i read from their website.
