for Opticum purchased from this site;  http://www.hm-sat-shop.de/en/hdd-receiver-hdtv-opticum/ Shipping 30Euros

The Opticum HD TS 9600 has no blindscan
402P no RJ45 port for internet connection

Note: Price displayed on website is inclusive of 19% vat, purchase is done outside the EU, no VAT.  Example if purchase price is 119Euros order from outside EU Zone pays 100Euros only.

for the Strong HDs I don't know the actual price but should be around N40K+
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: High Definition Receivers(hd) by microgint: 5:04pm On Aug 21, 2010
Go for Strong 4900/4910 it is readily available and very good for FTA.

4900 - satellite tuner only
4910 - satellite and terrestrial tuner (i.e. If you have this STB and startimes allow their cards to be used with another STB apart from their own then you make use of only one box instead of one for satellite and another for terrestrial)
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Fta Channels On W4/7 by microgint: 5:00pm On Aug 21, 2010
TV Zimbo was temporary FTA on W4/7

If your need TV Zimbo then you have to turn your dish to W3A Freq 12728 V 30000

@CANDYMAN, That bird aint Arabsat but Intel 802.I presume you are using a 1.8m dish and thus the misunderstanding.
There shouldn't be much argument, actually those channels are feeds, remember etv said they wanted to be content providers.  I suspect the feeds are actually on Galaxy 11, which is not listed on any of the satellite websites like lyngsat, flysat, etc.  It is used as a backup satellite for Intel 802 and  Galaxy 11 orbits at 32.8°E http://www.lyngsat.com/galaxy11.html  http://www.lyngsat.com/tracker/galaxy11.html  no channels are listed because officially it's not transmitting.

Rextab:
@all
badr 6 26 deg tp's
10990 h 10050, etv/eAfrica
10960 h 15000, learn/health
11036 v 22500, tpa.
They are mpeg4 compliant.
Check the down transponders 25, 27, & 30 on this link http://www.adec.edu/satdb/gal11ku.html

It corresponds to what Rextab posted with a little deviation of 4 on the two H pols.

Most of the operational sat feed frequencies are well know. and it's closer to W4/7 @ 36°E.

Although candyman
Candymann:
Me thinks this etv/eAfrica thing (freq 10985 v 10049) is on Arabsat 30.5 degrees East, because:
although Candymann posted a different frequency, which adds to the puzzle

Little write-up about galaxy 11

Galaxy 11 is an American geostationary communications satellite which is operated by Intelsat.  It is located in geostationary orbit at a longitude of 32.8 degrees east, where is serves as a backup to the Intelsat 802 spacecraft.  It was originally operated at 99° West and later spent most of its operational life at 91° West, from where it was used to provide communications services to Brazil and North America

Source:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_11

actually it was launched before a design flaw was discovered.  please follow link to read full text.

Intelsat 901 at 18.0w: 3818 v 2480
DAARSAT FEVER-AIT- is back
AIT has been on that bird for ages, but if all their DTH channels are available on the bird, i believe they want to go the startimes mode. It will even be better and faster for them to deploy since they have mast in almost all states of the federation.

In this modern times you hardly see a DTH operator on C-Band. What happens is most of the cable operators, and now DTT operators have their feeds on C-Band as it's cheaper. for example, startimes is using W2A global beam which covers the whole of africa, so the channels can be received by their base station anywhere in africa/asia/south america
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: All About Multi Tv Free To Air On Astra 2b by microgint: 12:49pm On Aug 21, 2010
Some of the Infinity Channels are broadcast on DVB-S2, MPEG4, so i believe their decoder should be MPEG4 and possibly HD
My opinion is the few presently being broadcast in DVB-S is for promotional purposes, soon all will be in DVB-S2

alancruise:
@all,pls is tv zimbo part of w4/7 FTA package?
Yes, btut it is still FTA. It's only Nigerian channels that are not FTA on Ku.

Examples of stations on DSTV and still FTA on KU to originating countries
GTV - Ghana

TPA 2 - Angola
TV Zimbo - Angola
NTV Uganda - Uganda
STV1 - Cameron
Kenyan Mux on W7 11731V8751
NTV Kenya -Kenya

Record Internacional - Can't remember the country but African also on W3A

SABC is not on DSTV platform but it's on other PayTVs still FTA to South Africa

@ malix startimes only have one sport station SETANTA AFRICA and don’t show live matches they claim they are going to add more stations but I have not seen any here in Abuja.
Is there any hope now that the world cup is here?
This is a pipe dream for matches which HiTV have rights to, for world cup, don't know may be.

HiTV asked cable tv operators to pay N3,500/sub, that is per/month not yearly. I don't think Star TV with their subscription charge of N1K/Month can where cable operators who were charging N3,500 and above could not.

microgi@nt,
i never intended selling it originally. i bought it for personal use but now it's almost a year and its still lying here idle. the decision to sell was a split moment one. i'm sorry about this but i thought you always wanted to get a 3m fibre? no?
Yes boss, but I still have plans for a motorized 2.4m, the fibre will be fixed. would have made the purchase if i new this earlier for badr4/6 reception.

ameboperoo,
its difficult finding a polar mount 2.4 pan in the market these days. what members normally do is to buy a fixed mount and construct a polar neck for it.

i will sell you the 2.4m with a foreign made polar neck for 20k.
George u never told me you had this for sale.
