@Olofofo,
Thanks. Ten to twenty meter range is too short for me. I will check the net to see if I can get a good one that can cover up to two kilos

@Olason
I had never said daarsat receiver has blindscan. I only narrated what happened when I inputed MBC frequency and when I ask the receiver to scan the freq, without inputing the other nilesat frequencies, the receiver bring out all nilesat channels. At the end of that sentence, I then ask a question whether it can blindscan. I did not say it categorically that it can blindscan.
Sometimes it is good to report observations, you wouldnt know when it will be of greater help to someone reading it. If I know you will want to mis-read and mis-interprete my observations, I would have keep it to myself.

Daarsat may not have Blind Scan Function but it can surely perform NIT (Network Information Table) Scan which is standard in all modern receivers. Network Information Table is a signal sent thru one or more TPs on a satellite which informs your receiver of the TPs available from that same network which may be new or not already be imputed on your receiver

@ pitodenz,
as for me what i will miss most on etv is WWE smackdown, no way out, e.t.c. can u help out with the multitv tp, and bst 90cm direction for now on MPEG-2 decodersnow

olofofo:

carry on Ojare. i dey help you count down to your nilesat ownership over here.

jujukemist:

season 2 was 40% jargon and irrelvant jibes.Moderator pls could we find a way of putting this delicate forum in its proper perspective. Apologies to Enitan before I fire-you conytributed 20% of the irrelivance to this forum-the truth is bitter.

@Enigma,
We need to find out why the USALS motor can power a 1.2m dish and
not 2.4m or 3m. Perhaps we can adapt it over here to suit our needs?
In this country, the word impossible does not exist

George_D:

All,
Here's a question on motorising dishes: Is there any particular reason why we are
still using diseqc 1.2 and external positioners with our jacks (actuators)  when we
can simply use the inbuilt positioner (USALS) in our recievers to move our dishes?
Looks like most of us don't realise that with USALS, you don't have to buy an
external positioner to store your channels one by one over a two week period.
Just a thought, though. Maybe someone needs to throw more light on this?

salamander:

It is a very good observation. But I wonder how many receivers have got the USALS facility.

@ olofofo,
Am I qualified for the G group?

@All, i tracked w6 in lagos yesterday morning freq 11653 has 56% signal strength and was stable thru out the day. But what surprised me was that RDV that just moved there has 94% signal strength. By lyngsatmap lagos and its environs are supposed to be fringe reception  areas. As it has been said on the forum before lyngsat maps may not be accurate afterall. I think one should freq of any beam that stray into Naija

@ maddox, there are different types of satellite location, the one u were refering to is owned by motorola named iridium, they are used solely for telephony purposes, and the location they are placed is closer to earth than the geo-stationary birds. their orbital period is faster than the geo ones. i will explain better when am on a PC.

@all

is egypt an african nation or is something wrong with the claim that nigeria is the first african nation to launch a satellite into orbit. what is nilesat?, a spacecraft?

@ karib, i think d mental institution u live in must be very progressive to allow u internet access. However i must admonish them to be more strict in ensuring you take your medication at all times. goofy head
