yawwilson:
All folks into lnb experimentation, if you have a weak cband Lnb, you may try improving signal by ... first look for a KU Lnb,cut off the feedhorn.then remove the top of the C-band lnb(it's a circular plate) then fit in the cut KU feedhorn on top of the C-band lnb and then seal the top to prevent water/, rain from entering...
Please note;I can't say it's 100 percent solution to weak C-band lnb until you also try and comment... Guys/Girls into wave propagation (physics) should also observe and contribute

Kindly share picture.

Euroadams:
Please am trying to track a motorized 2.4m mesh dish using c+Ku combined lnb but I couldn't hit green on either c or Ku band from any satellite which obviously means am doing something wrong. Please it's my first time of tracking with c+Ku lnb. Is there any special setting I need to do on the decoder. Please help o

Any working lnb will give you signal if pointed at the correct sat I.e. c lnb to c sat or Ku lnb to Ku sat. Of course under dish settings of your stb you put Ku settings for Ku lnb and c band settings for cband lnb.

For a combined c+Ku lnb you can use a diseqc switch and connect the c to one port and the Ku to another port. You then have to tell the stb in dish settings which satellite is Ku and which one is cband so that it switches to the correct lnb when you tell it which sat you want.

Positioners (motor controllers) use diseqc commands just like diseqc switches. Here is the catch, some controllers don't allow the commands to pass through to reach the diseqc switch which can be s problem. Remove the switch and test directly first with Ku then with cband if you don't get a signal then four possible issues:

I. You are not on the arc. Use a normal lnb to check that you are able to lock on sats all along the arc.
2. The skew is wrong. C+ ku lnbs have a small arrow at the top for skew alignment. Use that to set the correct skew.
3. The lnb is not aligned to the middle of the dish. These lnbs are heavier than normal and can shift when dish is moving. Check that it is pointing straight and the screws are tight.
4. Maybe the lnb is faulty.

Good luck.

It will seem like TStv is not in any hurry for the roll out of their decoders in the near future....
I hereby attach our conversation of this morning.

Whereas, I expressed my feelings of enjoying the free transmission since November 2017, the response was that they are yet to go commercial!

Its very annoying indeed for TSTV to be allowing us genuine FTA supporters to watch their wonderful channels for free. I am endorsing you Amaolowo as our Oga to mobilise all ASAS members to demand that TSTV encrypt their channels quickly because we are anxious and in a hurry to pay.

remove any device that is connected to the receiver e.g wireless stick, etc

This solution seems to work. I removed a wireless WiFi adapter. Strange though because the adapter doesn't work because the stb doesn't recognize it. Maybe it was trying to configure it in the back ground and was failing.

Thanks bro.

Thanks for your answer, but do you get it because I know the one on 68.5e is for southern Africa regime and you can't get it on 90cm or less dish here in west Africa unless you have 2.4m or bigger dish, can you confirm if you get it on usual 60 or 90cm dish, that was normally use to get on 5e.

Apologies, I am in southern Africa. Didn't know your beam is different. How ever OVHD is meant only for Republic of South Africa, though the rest of southern Africa can get it.

Follow dis process and give back report:
1. Switch d decoder off
2. Remove d F-connector from the LNP port of ur decoder
3. Switch it back on
4. If it doesn't work normally, report back for next stage bt if it does. Check ur LNB cable ensure it is properly connected to d F-connector at d decoder and at d dish point cos d coxial cable mit be touching each oda

I checked 4 f connectors; two on the cable from the stb to the positioned (motor controller) and two on the cable from the positioner to the lnb. All seem OK. I upgraded software from 2.58 to 2.53. The reboot has reduced but is still there.

harizonal123:
Someone ones said I need to adjust the reading on the Meter to 5 b4 tracking. How true?

True. Point the dish where there is no sat then set the meter pointer to 5 as your no sat point. Then start sat hunting. When a sat is found the meter will move towards 10.

Good day every one,!! Hello bro, there is another way.. That is, go to menu dish Settings and then Auto scan (yellow button) "when you get to Auto Scan, you will see another yellow button(delete) then you can go ahead and delete the satellites you" dislike '...
I hope that helps... am on whataspp too +233269572446..so long!!!

Thanks, method worked well. I was able to delete junk satellites and add new ones and rearrange by degree.

Satellite TV Technology › Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Lunsat(m): 2:11pm On Dec 22, 2017

How do you extract channel list from 4955, edit it to remove useless SATs and put it back? I couldn't get the stb to save it on flash. I edited one from 4930 using ndf efitor and tried to upload but the stb got stuck in the process and had to reboot.

I am trying to remove irrelevant SATs from my 4955 channel list using ndf editor but the stb refuses to accept the edited file. Any one ever done this successfully with 4955?

kibukila:
What does this mean?

l have not tried this but it should work: if you are south of equator and you have a motorised set up you will notice this: when dish is moving East decoder is saying moving West and vice versa. This is because the software developers have a. Middle east perspective. With hex editor on a pc you can open the decoder software and search for the word East and change it to west and find the word West and change it to east and save. Load software in decoder and and now East will be East and west will be West. If you find the word STRONG you can even change it to Lunsat and Lunsat will splash on your screen when your decoder starts. Try and report back.

Fellow ASAS patients, anyone with name and address or street for a shop with satellite equipment in DUBAI? I will be stopping there for a day and I hope to grab some stuff for myself. I mean decoders, digital sat finders, good LNBs, cornical scalar rings etc. I want to avoid searching all over town. Thanks.

seyizma: Where to input the values you gave me,i got invalid frequency when i put them in installation>>blind scan and also at lnb frequency

Sometimes Invalid frequency error occurs if you try to enter KU TP into a sat you have defined as Cband and Cband TP into a sat defined as KU. check under dish settings that values are as folows: Cband: LNB type = single, LNB frequency= 5150. KU band:LNB type= universal, LNB frequency=9750, LNB frequency H = 10600.

freddy95: whats the position of dish for multi tv against dstv position is it upwards o downwards av tryed for the past 2 hours cant get it ryt can somebody help me location southern africa[color=#550000]whats the position of dish for multi tv against dstv position is it upwards o downwards av tryed for the past 2 hours cant get it ryt can somebody help me location southern africa

I hope by DSTV position you mean 36E not 68.5E. Because you will never find Astra 2F by searching around 68.5E.

If you are in Southern Africa, MultiTv on astra 2F (28.2E) is to the LEFT of Eutelsat 36 (36E). From 36E you raise the dish abit as you turn it left, about 10cm up 10 cm left and search around there. From where I am in Zambia Astra 2F is exactly north on my compass, so I can find it by pointing the dish north then I search by just raising and lowering the dish and I hit green.

Unless I am mistaken, what I remember is that the gurus had advised that posting keys on this forum should be avoided because it can cause serious problems for the forum owner. The satellite sub-forum can even be closed and we lose all our information. Sharing of keys can be done by email, PM or by posting a link to the site where such key is found.

Others can advise.

Hello house,this has been asked several times but I need more clarification.What is the rationale of using a splitter instead of a dual Lnb in sharing one dish with 2 receivers

Splitter needs only one decoder, Dual LNB needs two decoders.
