obnelly: Why do we have most of these eirp map always moving away from nigeria.are they really discouraging us from our hobbies?

Very very very simple answer here. Check all the satellites carrying similar programs like BB that extend over our continent and you'll see that they veer clear off our sub region for ONE and only ONE reason. BB!!!! You like it or not, that's how it is and will always be. Yes, AB7 is trying to test the waters, but I can bet my last CFA that tps carrying enjoyable english programs found on MENA will never find themselves on the west african beam. Why, you ask? Because of BB, again.

Pidzo: New channels being added to Eutelsat 16A (10727 v 38749). Currently no audio and video. Channels include Boomerang, Cartoon Network, etc. Lets see what will unfold

Brite02: @all Plz advice,
my neighbours just had an emergency meeting concerning my dishes, according to the meeting, it was said that an army man, asked & enquire about the dish & its owner then ended by saying that i am using it to tap into people's channels that what am doing is illegal (meanwhile i didn't meet this soldier) that people who distribute/beam this various channels spent millions to air it, while me am just watching it free. No be small tin oh the man self wanted to come and arrest me oh. Meanwhile, i was nt around, in the emergency meeting they were asking me to dismantle my dishes 60cm,80cm,90cm(on the roof) and 1.8m on the ground to avoid unforeseen and unexpected wahala.. But me i no agree, i tried explaining to them that am nt watching paid channels rather F.T.A channels and that it is legal but am thinking about dismantling my 1.8m dish because is drawing too much attention since am staying in a school compound where people, footballers come to play their game, hence the army man case, plz advice

@Brite02:
If you should be afraid of any body, it should be a thief or thieves. You have all the facts at your disposal to back up your fta projects. So, no shaking. Just sit tight and let the man (soldier ni, police ko) come to you with search warant or whatever. Then teach him. He needs it and don't be surprised that at the end of the day you'll become a strong agent! No forget your commission o whenever you install a setup, ha ha ha ha.

Talenty: Oxteen you would just have answered the question if you know it. I use a mobile browser so I can't see the pix clearly.

@Talenty:

No mind dem o, na Astra 1 and hotchicks, ah mean, hotbird o. and ee b like say d guy motorize im dish. well, na im go tell us.

bisi12004: what of 1music?

@bisi12004:
1Music on AB3 C-band is on the same tp like Optima or is being offered by the same source. Just like when the head is cut off the ears go with it, I guess that 1Music is also gone.

odilibe:

What's behind your post?

omokoaustine: is anyone receiving zuku package @57.0e here in nigeria? And furthermore, is anyone still receiving optima sport @ 5.0w?

@omokoaustine and others:
If you ask me, Optima has gone for GOOD. many African television houses depend on optima sports for their Champion League matches and do you think this can be for free? So, may be their test period has come to an end for even though they are off, other African channels still use their feeds during matches. Check it out and I hope this will put to bed questions about the greenness and redness of Optima Sports reception on AB3.

Here in Cameroon this thing goes on with the conivance of people in HIGH places in and outside the government. I can't count the number of times cable providers in our area have had their abodes run over by officials of canal+, art (agence de regulation de telecomunication), and the police. Still, it is business as usual. The guys are waxing stronger and stronger by the day, ordering goods custom made from China with their company names and logo branded on them. If they can succeed with such a corrupt system like ours, please tell me how it can play out in naija? May be the fact that it is DSTV that dictates the pace of the game there that'll make a difference for they are like the piranha which doesn't let go when it sinks its teeth into a prey. However, look before you leap o.

odilibe: protek ip receiver.

@odilibe:
Ol' boy, abi na magic box b this? else, what does it really do?
@Irapada:
wetin wey u tink say my dude don dey do since? He's got a thick skin for such and a long time a go grew above such petit asides.

If we read back we will realise that nearly every season has its moments of squabbles OR the odd man out. To blow hot should be with a reason. Previous squabbles have been based on issues. But, what I am seeing today is really out of turn and I don't even see any quarrel here because for there to be a quarrel, beef or squabble, there should be more than ONE involved. What are we seeing here? Just ONE! Mod, get into action!!!! We respect you for that.

George_D: @adewest,
Top of the weekend to you. Its so nice of you to stop by. We hope you'd do this more frequently?


@Ameboperoo
@Adex70,
@obnelly,
@all,

Thanks for holding brief for me. You guys are what this forum needs to move forward.

We must never allow ourselves to be distracted by individuals whose sole aim is to drag everybody down with them. No doubt, we can gain nothing from exchanging expletives with each other while the primary purpose of FTA remains unattended to. We must never lose track of the fact that while we waste time over trivial, petty issues, the wheels of technology turns on and on and if we're not careful we risk being left behind. As mature minded folks therefore, we must remain focused and true to our passion. Whatever will not promote the goals of FTA, whatever will not further the unraveling of technology for the common good, whatever will at the end of the day be a fruitless effort aimed at promoting individual ego, we must turn a blind eye to it.

Thanks once again for being there for me. I believe together we can continue to break the myth!

@George_D:
Right on the money, sir! Right on the money. Moderator, please let the terms upon which this forum was created be respected to the letter.

bamboutos:
Yes you hit the  correct key.
I've been following your post for quite some time.
Happy to meet you.
One day who knows,
Regards

I got you pal. I live in Mbandjock (think of sugar cane processing to sugar) but do spend time in Yaounde. So, any time you are around Yaounde, just gimme a ring on 77612644. Have a swell Sunday, man.

bamboutos:
Please download this tutorial: __http://www.vetrun.com/competition/tutorial.zip Thanks to the up-loader.
Read both files and practice. Don't rush. It takes me 6 months day in day out to master it and every day I was learning something new. and even today I am still learning.
Please practice before asking questions
I'll be there to answer pretty each questions, you just have leave some time since I'm not always connected. Of course someone else as usual can answer.
Regards

Hello Bamboutos:
Going by your avatar, I take it that you are from Cameroon even if not from the famous Division by that name in West Region of the country. If so, then it really feels great to come across a country man on this great forum. Have a great day, pal and keep up the search.

Lovala whats the name of the tv capture app that you use for the dongle

@auchs:
I am using Mercury TV card 7130 and Ulead Video Studio v10 as the capture apps. But any normal TV card you find around whether internal or external can do. And, I ain't talking about dongles. These works well with any DVB set up box helps record your favorite programs through your pc or lappie unto CDs or DVDs. Hop you catch my drive.

Hey Guys:

I know many out there must have been wondering about alternatives to recording their favorite programs from their DVB boxes. If you don't have an external storage device (hard disks, multimedia cards, usb flash memories, etc.) or a DVB card for PC just:

1. Get an install a normal TV card on your PC or lap top;
2. Get yourself an AV/RF converter. Any tv shack can have it.
3. Connect the AV out of the decoder to the AV in of the AV/RF converter.
4. Connect the RF out of the AV/RF converter to the RF in of the TV card on the PC or lappie.
5. use any TV capture application to do the rest for you.

Happy recording of your favorite programs for posterity. Hope this helps those who'd been in need of this info.

The Digital Sole Thieves (DST*) or BB, whatever you call them cannot do anything if those channels should migrate to NWA beam. North west africa is an open market for anybody to do business. If those nice channels beams on our region, hmm!, the digital sole thieves are going to loose a lot. I remember in those days when they were no copetitor to them, they were selling their customised reciever that cannot be used on another satellite at the rate of 50 000 naira ($323) but when Mytv came, everything changed. When their sister (MTN) came to Naija, they milked us dry. They sold their simcard at the rate of 40 000 naira ($259) but now, it is being sold at about 67 cent not even up to a dollar and this is because they have a lot of competitors. So in nutshell, if the Arabs really meant business, the digital sole thieves cannot stop them.

@D.Lee and Auchs:
If I catch your drift BB packages went down when they got a competitor in the market. That's right and if the MBC and sports packages that may make their way into the NWA beam of AB7 remain encrypted, then no shaking for BB because they know that they can hold their own with any tom, dick and harry on this turf of theirs. But, make ee come b say those juicy stuffs troop in fta, lai lai to lai lai, sparks will start flying. Just watch and see!

Hell o house!!!!

I been missing in action for quite a while now. From what I can see, the new kid on the block is AB7. We are all wishing that the MBC packages should be included in their NWA beam.
However, I hate sounding like a prophet of doom. Our ALMIGHTY BB is ubiquitously looking out for any intruder into her turf. Whatever it takes, thay'll make sure that our arab would be benefactors don't steal an inch of a slice of their pudding just like they've succeeded with the chinkos.
I hope I get to be proven other wise.
Swell day to one and all.

Has any one noticed that in the MultiTV adverts "No Monthly Bills" have been left out and only: "Just thrills" remains? What can we read into this? Are they about to go the usual way the others have gone?

I Hacked:
am getting rtm laayoune with 11732h 2219 with cband lnb on 90cm
do any one know the orbit where this channel is cos my meter ring and i blind scan and got it

all cband tp i know fail me

Helo I Hacked:

You've really scaled the ladder with your marvelous results from your various experiments. Now, I'd like to know if there is a special circuit that accompanies your set up to aid reception of birds that are normally hit with dishes above 90cm. That is, is it possible for any one to also replicate your results with the normal strong decoders, lnbs and 90cm dishes. Thankx man and keep up the good work. I've been MIA for a while now and just got hoked up to the 'net thankx to a friends system.

life707:
Also on 1.8M depending on your location

@life707:
What satellite hits fx using 1.8m and where are u located?

@All: I have really been outta cyber circulation for so long it seems like ages. Reason: my local ISP was down. It is still to get up and run. Wanna wish us all a really phat fta bountiful year 2012. Happy New year to all my fellow brother fta hobbiests!

@Gadotor:
My G, congratulation for taking over the relay batton from George_D the king. Man, don't fret your head about any bad belle comment for we all know that you merit. U are a good guy and that is for sure. Un seul mot, CONTINUE!

@All: I have done everything under the SUN and used all the tips given here in the forum but still can't hit W3C. With my signal strength creeps as high as 54 but never converts to green. I hit EW4/7 and Astra2b at 92 percent quality. I pick Intelsat 7/10 up to 72 persent. But, EW3C remains red. I have used all the tps and symbol rates given here, placed my lnb (digisat 0.2db) at 8 o'clock; changed lnbs to strong; changed coaxial cables without any improvements. What really may be my impediment? My friend in Yaounde captures it with quality up to 92 percent which means that I may be doing something stupid somewhere! Man, I've picked up more tricky sats before. i don't know why one so close and easy is excaping my grasp.

sammu:
@ all, the srt 4930 without rj45 cable is the version for middleeast/africa while the srt4930 with rj45 is the australian version. So both are genuine strong products. Strong decided to bring the australian version to africa cos they now realise we are begining to embrace cardsharing receivers with the rj45 (ethernet) ports. No cause for alarm, if u want to buy 4930 go for the one with rj45 as there will be no need for rj45-to- r232converter cable. CHEERS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE.

@sammu:
Thankx for clearing the air, lest I could have thought I put my foot in my mouth.

Ah begiiiiiii!!!!
Business na business. d guy no hold gun fo anybody head. person wey need dem channels and wey get 10k and no sabi how fo go about am, make im call am o. Else, just let d guy b. Ah begiiiiii!!!!
