@all  please be informed that emexi  has been banned for  posting information  that can benefit all on  nairaland   and as you can see that posting has been removed by the moderator,  so for  now  emexi can not reply any more , is it  a crime to post good information on the net?.  just a thought
There are somethings you don't post in forums even though it's good for members especially FTB secrets.  I don't know why Nigerians are so carried away with any knowledge they come across, what is meant to be shared discretely will be in the open freely and sold openly in the streets.  Don't You know that in places where there is law enforcement, the admin can be sued? In USA even users of FTA Stbs have been arrested and such stbs confiscated!  Be wise  undecided

Binsule:
Bross where is the location of w3a and with what size of dish is recommended i live in warri
if you no my TV direction turn your dish like 80 degrees to your right while standing behind, or left while standing in from then raise am up more than DSTV. You need 90cm dish to receive it.

If you have a compass, calculate 7degrees east, starting from the south position

Ameboperoo:
After going tru greater part of this thread, I decided 2 convert my hithieve 2 FTA. I sweat a lot b4 I discovered that the minimum elevation of the dish is still 2 high 4 pas 7/10. I had 2 apply no 6 to bend the mounting rod 2 achieve d desired elevation. Now I can watch ALL e FTA channels. D problem I have now is that d % is low except 2 channels which I suspect are not on pas10 but on telstar. What should I do?


I want 2 know d current prices of these items
1 c band lnb
2. jack
3. 1.8m pan dish.
4. 2.4m pan dish.
I have decide to set up a motorized dish and the advice of the gurus in the house is needed regarding my decision. Wishing all Nairalanders a merry xmas and happy new year in advance.
Contact Olofofo for the current prices, if you are in Lagos
Your location is required to advice you on the size of dish you need (e.g. nilesat is possible - up north with 1.8m, south west and south east [up to enugu] 2.4m, south-south including imo/abia state 3.0m)

1. 2.4m pan dish. (to enable you receive nilesat if you are in lagos)
2 KU-band & 2Nos C-band lnb (one with dielectric and the other without)
3. jack
4. Last but not the least HD Satellite Reciever

you can follow the above order if you don't have the cash to buy everything at once, jack and hd reciever can be added latter.

Wishing all a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year in advance.

It was like all those keys were down when we tried them.  Let's try with active keys next time.

On your strong receiver enter secret key menu by using XXXX,

edit the Cas tab to CCW
Ident to 00 00 00 00
than enter the other Key given of
STATION
KEY : XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
exit the box and save changes.

Key in pin XXXX and the Biss key dialogue table will appear,

enter STATION
KEY : XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
key on the first line and your STATION channel will activate.

Repeat this step for the other channels

THIS IS FOR EDUCATION PURPOSES ONLY.

ALL, The free2view decoder is not for free oooo but they are yet to decide on how much it will go for. guys lets start saving ooooo!
I think this is the same company as the Freesat in UK.  They broadcast mostly FTA Channels through one bird and make revenue from adverts.
check the decoders they are using in UK here

Channels is here

but no live sports (especially football) but plenty of news, movies, documentaries etc.  
Initially they wanted to roll out in South Africa, but Multichoice hit them with a court case that's why they couldn't start.  It is like the case is over.

This Technisat satellite receiver is similar to the Kaon they want to use for Africa.

Those who have been supporting HiThieves and DSThieves lets see how you can survive.  
If fully implemented their package is better then HiThieves, Daarsat without football/Nollywood movies and it is for FREE

give yourself a break. going by the headlines, we are supposed to believe that there is uninterrupted power in the whole of Akwa Ibom. the article says there is UPS in Ikot Abasi LG, Eket and their environs and you yourself diddnt refute that. if you were in the areas that are not enjoying the UPS wont you also cry foul? so why are you attacking someone for doing just that?
had the headline been; SELECTED TOWNS IN AKWA IBOM ENJOYS UNINTERRUPTED POWER SUPPLY. then its a different story entirely.
Exactly what i wanted to post, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Useless government journalist writing nonsense.

@micro,
No luck with etv either on 902/c or intelsat 7/10k using 4663x. Maybe you're talking of the new 4669x.
but why bother with etv when you have so many other replacements?
It was because of this I ordered for the Opticum 9500HD but it is like there some unresolved issues with the stb and it has been withdrawn or production stopped. So my money was returned.

@Microgiant,
My GTV decoder model is: COSHIP CDVB-5668
I'm avoiding the DAARSAT decoder because of issues like this. most PayTV STB's a custom made by the manufactures for the PayTVs and there are no software support, except for the PayTV owner's upgrades.

After much extensive search online, following users comments in various forums. it seems currenlty only three HD STBs have blindscan

Vantage HD Stbs (Vantage 1100 HD)
Clarke Tech HD Stbs (C-Tech 5000 HD Combo Plus)
Strong HD Stbs (SRT 4900)

note: I've not listed all series, just the products.

CareerRe: Salary Jobs Are Modern Slavery! by microgiant: 7:32am On Dec 09, 2009
GL:
not all paid employments are bad, there are companies that pay well. plus you get discipline and experience. it's not just about having an idea or capital. there are lots of risks that go with entrepreneurship, and it's best to have something to fall back on if things don't work out. there are many people in paid employments (who earn a lot) who still invest in some private business. of course, if your salary is not enough to feed you then it's probably akin to slavery. but to call all salaried jobs slavery is false.

self-employment isn't paradise for everyone, some entrepreneurs can't even afford to send their kids to decent schools. so it's not something one should go into because you want to be like your boss. if you feel you're being exploited it might be best to change jobs, and not just jump into the self-employment wagon. it's wrong for CEOs to earn so much and pay meagre salaries, but then remember they bear the risks. odd thing is, many people who are crying 'entrepreneurship' now would also pay little or nothing to their future employees.
Thank you for this.

@ All,
Has anyone being able to access sat-mac recently?
I tried but no success.  I think the site is under attack, its called DDoS (Direct Denial of Service) most satellite tv forum sites experience this from time to time.  These type of attacks most time in FTA world is masterminded by the Pay TV operators or from another competing site.  When you register and tick option of "RECEIVE EMAIL FROM ADMINISTRATOR" most sites will send email to you about a temporary site address you can use. I just got one such mail from one site (not sat-mac)


Hi xxxxxxxx

Due to a DDoS attack on the Xxxxxxxx server I've changed the httpd port to 00.

So for the time being use the following URL to access Xxxxxxxx.

http://www.xxxxxxxx.Bleep:00/forum

Xxxx

I posted something similar when the Ani site was under virus attack

but this kind of attack is different actually what happens is that the server is overwhelmed with request such as 1million computers login in at the same time with wrong passwords etc. so the server cannot respond to real users.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Official Thread Of Free To Air Satellite Tv (part 4) by microgiant: 8:57am On Dec 07, 2009
@Pito

I will send the list to your mail most of them are just file servers and not forums actually. although you may be required to register with some of the servers but on others you can download without registering.

It is official now. Aljazeera Sport bought ART sport channels with all the rights it has. Cost of the deal was not disclosed.

so, Fifa Worldcup 2010 and 2014 will be on JSC

JSC already has the rights of : Spanish Liga, Italian Calcio, UEFA Champions League, Europa Cup, EURO Championship , etc

The only Championship outside JSC now is the English Premiership smiley

JSC is becoming another SKY in the middle east ( but for far cheaper price)

effective December-1 the official transmission process will begin.

The public relations officer, Nawaf -Tamimi, said that they will lower the price of their pay channels.

They plan to offer it as an independent platform but with the added channel of Al- Jazeera.

Currently, subscribers pay about 16 dollars for 24 channels, and the platform proposes a price below 14 dollars for those same channels from next year.

Pls can I nail sirius and w3a with a single 90cm dish? If yes, can you pls tell me the tp to use to nail the 2 bird 2gether.
This is how I nail both birds with single dish. For your information there is no single frequency common to both birds. So you can try my style
go to manual scan while on w3a, input the Globecast freq 12.605 V 29.950

then move the dish a little to your left and upward if standing in front of your dish
or move the dish a little to your right and upward if standing behind your dish while watching your tv screen for green signal.
When you are successful, now go back to a known working TP on W3A to confirm it's still showing green i suggest you use Free2View TP 12728 V 30,000. Once you can still get it others will be ok. you can tweak your lnb skew and adjust your dish for best signal

Please specify your decoder model. It will help in determining the how to setup, but if your are using the common Strong decoders.

1. Go to menu
2. satellite setup
3. dish setup
4. choose the satellite then move to diseqc
5. if it's displays "off" us your left key and change to 1.0
6. If 5 above is done correctly, another menu will appear below
7. choose the number for the dish eg, on the diseqc swith if w4 is connected to 1 make sure the setting for w4 is on 1
8. go to step 4 and choose another satellite, it will display a message that your settings have change "do you want to save, cancel, take save
9. choose W3 and assign number it is connected to as in step 7 then exit and save

hope this helps
