Lov4sat:
I followed your instructions and I was able to track 5°E and 7.0°E respectively but could not get green on 7.0°W. However, I strongly believe that the position of my dish is close to my house and as such blocking the line of sight to 7.0°w. I would move my dish a bit further from the house and try again.

I will sure keep you updated with progress made so far.

ok, keep remember to try different LNB skews as you are searching. I mentioned earlier that you should be very observant of the signal bar any slight increase while you are searching keep the dish at that point and tweak you LNB skew, including pushing it in and pulling out.

Lov4sat:
Please kindly give me more guide to tracking this bird cos I tried all night yesterday to no avail. I beg I really need help here.

Track 5°E or 7.0°E if you can get any of them easily then input the first TP and swing your dish around but not directly opposite.

while you are standing behind the dish gradually turn your dish towards your left hand. When you are almost opposite raise the dish up and down while watching the screen for any slight movement of your signal bar.

Also the make of dish matters as not all makes are exactly 90cm.

Lov4sat:
Thaks man can you help with a tracking tp?

11476 V 27500

11559 V 27500

note it is opposite side of MyTV i.e. turn your dish to face the opposite direction.

Thanks for the pix and explanation. I am familiar with the setup.
I was asking if two satellites can be COMBINED on a SINGLE LNB. i hope my question is clear now.

It is possible to combine satellites that are close, e.g. 5°E and 7.0°E, 26.0°E and 28.2°E, etc.

the trick get the satellite with the stronger signal first, then input the tp of the other satellite then move your dish slightly to get the signal. While you are still in that position, change to the TP of the other satellite to ensure the other signal is still there.

Example: track SES 5 at 5.0°E with TP 12015 V 29950, after you receive the signal then input TP 12728 H 30000 for Eutelsat 7A at 7.0°E then move the dish slightly to your left while standing at the back of your dish. You will hit green, now remain at that position then change to the first TP 12015 V 29950 you should receive signal, if there is no signal move slightly back not as much as you moved left, you hit green then go back to check that you can still receive the TP 12728 H.

Pros: You can enjoy two satellites with one LNB.
Cons: 1. You loose some TPs with weak signals
2. You can loose signal or cracking with any slight bad weather condition, due to the reduced signal, which wouldn't have occurred if the LNB is dedicated to a single satellite.

On a final note, you can set it easily once you know the signal strength at which the other satellite can be received. example TP 12728 H 30000 maximum signal is 70% reducing it to 65% while moving right gives you the TP 12015 V 29950 for SES 5 at 5.0°E.

hope this helps.

Lov4sat:
I also use 90cm dish I have tried all the method posted here (tilt your dish up by 1inch yet no way, skew your LNB to 2 oclock I did this all through yester-night when I get home still no way) which magic others that are receiving it used to track this bard 26 E I don't know I am getting 28.E quite well but 26.E is still a no no thing for me PLEASE MAKE SOMEONE US OOO (Especially those of us in Rivers State that have tracked this birds.

It has been mentioned and confirmed that it is not possible to receive MBC 26E in the south-south on small dishes due to reduced signal. A member from Benin posted about this was also confirmed by members from Rivers and Bayelsa states.

The alternative get a 90cm dish and search at 7W.

Abohun, Chinedu
Pls, I need response to this issue.Thanks

Which satellite decoder are you using? locate the audio button on your remote and change between stereo, left and right.

boss!Catching 4 birds with 1 net!

He is actually catching 5 birds with a single 60cm dish with 3 LNBs, (LNB1 16E, LNB2 26E/28.5E, and LNB3 5E/7E) You can also do it by following his instructions.

bokadious:
Good day Guys
Pls Is it possible to track multi TV and 16•e Eutelsat using the same dish? And which of them will be my primary LNB standing on the Dish LNB holder.
Thanks for your Assistance.

hope this answers your question.

davodyguy:
This is a bloody lie. I saw this pix few days ago and it was another story that accompanied the image. Bloggers are so sick sometimes
Let's analyze how illogical this is.

A random person can't just advertise on Facebook.

Also, the caveat is no longer hidden that don't pay for anything, until same is delivered to you.

Even Jumia, konga, yudala etc do pay on delivery.

So how will someone be so stupid to pay for item such as TV ahead of delivery?

This is stupid story, made up by stupid people, for stupid people

demusking, hope the latitude is between 0 - 90° because Kumasi latitude is 6.6666° N, if the latitude begins from 10° and above, it is difficult to install.

Unfortunately when I pasted the captured the screen to paint program, and saved the picture was blanked out.

I used the encrypted E! Channel on 68.5E for the demonstration.

graphicicon:
@Microgiant, we are getting closer to solve this problem, let me ask u, did u tweak the configuration of the codec pack or did u installed it and thats all?, which window operating system are u using?, cos am using window 8.1, pls throw more light on how u did it?

I also had difficulty in playing back recorded files on pc. So I just downloaded the codec and installed without any tweaking.

I am using Windows XP and before installation of the codec most hd files had no audio sound. I noticed that files display as notepad documents in windows explorer, just right clicked, choose open with, then selected windows media player, It displayed can play but asked if i want WMP to play it which I chose. yes and it played.

graphicicon:
@Etern, the file that u play with vlc media player, did u record it from which decoder, let me know, cos am using Vinsat xv9800.

I used the Klite codec pack Emmaachile mentioned and was able to play TSV file recorded on QSAT using Windows Media Player version 9 and saved the file under windows media player with .AVI extension.

2Banty:
tps

pls i need FTA tps for this decoder type or similar. pls helllp

Hello Banty, it seems you are using only one dish. If true then it is not possible for you to receive the frequencies being posted here.

1. You need different dishes to receive multiple satellites, unlike normal Local TV channels where you use a single antenna to receive all within your reach.

2. Even on the same satellite you have C-band and KU-band signals, which cannot be received with the normal small LNB, except you are using the C/KU-band combined LNB.

3. You need a big dish for C-band signals.

4. Satellite that are close to each other can be received on a single dish by multiple LNBs attached to a single dish. Also a single LNB can be used to receive two satellites that are close.

5. You can motorise your dish to receive multiple satellites with one dish and a single LNB.

pwetie:
west. face d dish straight to the sky at 90 degrees...then turn it to west a little....depending on your lnb, set it to h/v

boss stop confusing the guy. He posted about not receiving Badr 26e using 12284H/V 27500 on his MultiTV (JoyTV) LNB as there are reports of it being received.

And you posted of a friend who received it 11559V/H 27500 which is on another satellite different from what he posted about.

luvablesam:
Please Disney is free to air on what kind of Satellite size and which frequency?

It is on C-band in Apstar 7 at 76.5°E and the channel is encrypted (coded) with PowerVu encryption. If you have a decoder capable of decoding the PowerVu encryption then you are good to go.

Note to get Apstar 7 at 76.5°E you must lower your dish further from old MyTv position Intelsat 20 at 68.5°E the dish size should not be less than 1.8mtr.

.Pls I have a similar big Dish,which Decoder and LNB works well with this.I mean is going to work with Strong Decoder,Qsat Decoder.Give me the exact Decoder to use.My no is 08068573202.

Hello xtainfemi, all the decoders you mentioned and other free to air decoders work well with this dish. You can use both C-band and KU-band LNB for this dish. However you can only use the KU-band LNB to receive channels being received by small dishes 45cm to 120cm.

You can motorise it if you have the finances to do so. This will enable you watch more channels; sports, movies, news, documentary, music, etc.

The type of decoder you use depends on what you want. Some decoders allow you to enter known keys for some encrypted channels, some don't support all the encryption methods, while some can even do autoroll-that is getting the new keys as the providers change the keys.

All in all you can enjoy free news, movies, sports and music channels. these are channels broadcasted free on various satellites.

gudmorning guys, pls I need guides too, MBC is is too stubborn, I got only cordoba on 12303 wit 98%Q n 84%S

While on 12265 h 27500 tweak your LNB a bit and make sure it is H and not V. You can also adjust the dish up/down, left/right a little.

wealthdavid:
pls can I add another lnb on mytv to get more fta channels

no, because the possible satellites you can receive are empty

Dlee you should understand that is how some people respond to questions. The guy's Amos5/W3C was scanned using the Astra 19 satellite in his decoder. Most installers don't bother about the satellite name, but just scan using any KU Satellite in the decoders. You will see Intelsat 20,Eutelsat 36A/36B, etc being scanned on different satellite names. Obnelly did not respond because he understood the guy perfectly.

@Obnelly, I have not received it but, someone in Lagos told me some transponders are receivable with 2.4m solid dish.

ayolacz:
Tv3 on multi tv has been scrambled recently. Is the biss keys changed?

If you are using QSAT decoder, verify that polarity of channel is the same as polarity in Biss key menu. The channel may display intermttently when the polarities are different. If you are receiving the channel on V use V in the biss key menu to enjoy stability.

pls how can i get eurostar c band lnb?i ve been having problem tracking mfm signal on 1.8m dish due to interference of communication mast in the area.and if their is any help i will appreciate it cos i ve tried all d c band lnb i ve.

esystem01, use an OCS(One Cable Solution) LNB.

@GeorgeD, kindly help a brother locate the shop where you got that underated wonderful Ku LNB.

@odilibe, there is only one LNB arm, what you are seeing is the batten. The LNB is actually attached to the ceiling batten. Nigerians are ingenious.

@ Olenyi, true talk.

I have always nursed this idea to try the inverted principle for Intelsat20 on dish with primary LNB focused on Eutelsat4/7, but never had the time to experiment it.

My present abode, I need a long ladder (approximately 18 feet) to get to my dish.

@xnnalvin, go to my profile an follow me, I will follow back.
