Trybe tv is showing naija movies 24/7 but waptv is missing. For Philistine telenovela and Indian Series Telesvista is there. Tvc News, Ait, Nta Parliamentary, Nta Intl, NTA, galaxy tv, core tv, Baby Tv and many more on nigcomsat.

Ya dai, kwana biu. Pls what direction should the LNB face in other to get the Nigcomsat.? Za mu gwada shi yau ko gobe, by God's Grace. Tun locacin bamu sake gwada wancan TSTV kuma fa.

Also, I don't know if software for that my D-sat decoder has changed, if yes, kan dan tura mun any sabon software a email na wa.

Sannu.

Morning all, please can anyone assist in explaining the use of the "Antenna in" and "Tv out" ports at the back of my(or any) fta decoder.. Is it just there for fashion or its functionality is not attainable/applicable in our country/african countries.?

Thanks.

.. Hello bro, the satellite pointer app.informs you which satellites are trackable from your location and also gives you the direction to point your dish.. however the reception of any signal from the satellite will be determined by dish size..

Alright, thanks much... Will try put it to better use.

yawwilson:
Hello everyone!! I've got the pro.vesion of satellite pointer.apk which I wish to share...it helps locate the satellite you want to track...https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TMQ6v-LEUjjU9j7t1vgsu9PCSSPdIbgi/view?usp=drivesdk

Thank you so much for this, I've installed it, and it seems to be functional with no lag, my question is; when in pro-mode, where the red triangle points to when a satellite is selected, is that supposed to be the position of your dish, to get that satellite regardless of the size of the dish.?

[quote author=yawwilson post=66124217][/quote]

I see, I indeed expected the referral red tape, but thanks much all same, I will proceed accordingly.

Good day friends,Bros,and fellow primates, to have knowledge (good) is to have good and reliable information.. hence it beholds on us to constantly seek information from advance societies but we must remember that it's never free.for those saying free "you get free you give "... it's never true! Information about non- FTA was never intended to be free.We stumble upon such information, Not forgetting numerous phone calls and Data spent in getting the final results..so people give out of love.nobody is obligated but for the love of the forum. Just take a look at the European forum, they've been enjoying all the Goodies and are still enjoying many more,why is it that as soon as we discover any Goodies, our excitement is cut short?
This forum is not just a place for people to come looking for keys,it's like a big lecture room where we are all lecturers.. People need to constantly update their information before making presentations
There are a whole lot of presentations that makes the presenter looks unprepared...if you're in this forum for more than a year and you cannot get current news,then it implies that you are not ready for it.
Let's keep the spirit and fire burning with constant hunting for birds and experiments..

Yes, very nice, I like the part of it being like a classroom, and I want to add that it is a class where the lecturers are in same vein students/learners of each other, and the class can/should be able to maneuver between beginners and advanced lectures/modules.

If you don't mind, could you point me in the direction of the European forum, I'm a "readaholic". I would like to also sneak-peak into their class, even if I can't afford the high tuition fee, owing to prevalent exchange ratings.

Regards.

i believe tstv is in the opposite direction. i mean tstv and dstv are facing in the opposite direction from each other

Thanks my good ppl for helps, but we spent almost the whole afternoon yesterday, with nothing to show for it, not even 1% signal quality. Although both me and my cousins are not pros, I atleast expected a little flicker, but zilch. Maybe it is because I only have a 60cm dish here, I might have to source for a bigger sized dish, maybe 90" or 1m.

Brian109:

The only thing that makes Dstv interesting for me is EPL and the Johnsons. Other than that are just repeatition of movies .regards

Hello Brian, I'm made to understand that you are in the Southern Africa region, Zambia or Malawi.? Well I'm in South Africa, Eastern Cape. Me and 2 of my cousins spent the whole day yesterday trying to get any other FTA channel that is not Dst**, but to no avail. I came with one of my FTA HD decoders from Nigeria, but not Strong Model. Could I kindly get your phone contact, so we can talk better, you could send it to nkidav@gmail.com thanks is advance.

abohwun:
get a dstv dish or any 90cm and above) for easy hunting as for 60cm need a professioner. Place your lnb at 6 oclock track ses 5 using 12015v 30000 standing at the back input tstv freq. 11176H 30000 move your dish to the right 1_3cm and raise up the dish small, keep shifting the dish to the right and navigating up and down when you hit green blind scan.

Good morning all. Feedback from trying; we couldn't get ses5 oo, because here na only Dst*** every body sabi. Can you please help me with steps/strategy to get our TsTv from Dst*** position.? My dish is currently at Dst*** position.

Thanks in anticipation of favourable reply.

Are you there now let me guide u on how to do it. long time.

Yes oo, long time, I'm there now, arrived about 2weeks ago, and seeing that it is still the same old Dstieves everywhere, wanting subscription for channels I don't care about, very annoying.

I came with one of the decoders, so how do I go about it.?

Good day all..

My 1st post of the year....yaaaayyy.!

Abeg/please is there anyone on this our forum who resides or has contacts in South Africa, who can help with installation of TSTV or 26/28E..?

Blessings.

......

Hahaha, sorry I laugh oo, not at Tstv sha, but at the cheap attempt at sabotage some competitors would go through just to discredit others in a bid to stay in business.
That message that flashed on the screen surely reeks of sabotage, and in-house childish back-bitting.
It only took me 3mins to realize and admit that bien sports owners wouldn't have in any way sent that message while the airing was still on, if bien were the ones who detected the "foul play" of "Tstv in Nigeria", they wouldn't bother writing love letters on the screen, they would just shut off the viewing immediately.

Na wa oo, these monopolists want to keep Nigeria and Nigerians in bandage forever.?

My setup and advise on improvement or do good maintenance?

PV array: 2 piece of 130w mono
30ah CC
250ah 12v battery - Lifepo4 battery
1kva Inverter


So far everything works great!

Congrats Ade, and happy for you. Please whats the name of your 30ah CC.? I have made up my mind on type of Panel to go for, just still needing advice on type/brand of CC to go for, but I also know that I want a 30ah controller too.

@All members, I'm indeed sorry, no serious offence intended, just wanted to stand up for an innocent brother. And I've reported the post myself. Thank you all.

Eerekake, I will tell you what an insult is; " You are a bush man, a complete nonentity who doesn't know or understand the simple Use of English, and has anger management issues and suffer from low self esteem, immature in the totality of the word, and definitely not a social person. I wonder what you are doing here, if you cannot take simple correction and apologize for your misconduct.
Take some time out and go through ur posts on this forum, you would discover (if you have common sense that is), that honourable members of this honourable thread are only tolerating you and under normal circumstances would not and should not respond to any of your requests or inquiries, if not for the love of God and humanity.
Are you a boy or a man.? Are you a man or a woman.? Oh no, you must be a sissy, that must be why you constantly feel the need to become hostile to anyone that counters your opinion of anything. Grow up kid, and learn that this is not a market square where unruly humans come to display their senseless-ness."

I know this my post might be deleted, but I needed you to realize that you do not have the monopoly of vulgar words, the rest of us actually attended school and hence know the meanings of the words you spew unlike your illiterate self.!
Now that is an insult, and I intended to insult you, not mincing words; bite yourself.!

eerekake:
His statement is not mild,why should he use such a word 'talking anyhow on social media' is he praising or
insulting me?

Uncle Dunka,
Nothing pains me more than generating energy, only to have a single appliance guzzle it down in a matter of minutes, that was my experience with my "90w" hunch back, which had great picture quality, but also what seemed like a transformer inside it, which was too wicked for my small AE setup. Hence had to start researching for alternative visual displays also, that's when a friend in the Uk pointed me to these;

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Newest-AODIN-M9-Mini-DLP-Smart-Projector-with-Touch-Keys-16G-32G-Memory-HD-Proyector-Beamer/32807438473

You could also look them up on Amazon to compare prices.

I must say that I cannot quantify the joy and fulfilment I've had with myself since last month when my one arrived. Is it the portability of it, or the sound when paired with a Boss Bluetooth sound bar, or the sheer ingenuity, or the fact that it's got inbuilt battery that can last another 2hrs off power watching anything on it.

I know you could ask about having to have your living room turned dark just to watch tv, well, I didn't do sciences, so I can't really do justice to the latest technological components employed to make these, but I'm going to refer you to YouTube; search for "Using projectors as Tv" and you can download as many reviews on there as possible, there are a handful of reviews by MindSeed Tv and other Youtubers on projectors.. And no, you dont need a projector screen, just project straight to your clean wall.

Regards.

P.s; also take note of the info in below attached image.

Good day house,

I currently have a 60 inch LG Plasma TV which is a wattage guzzling monster.

In the market for a more energy efficient model of any brand sized 50 inches and above.

Any advise /pointer would be really appreciated.

You can still track 9e and 5e and 7e, including MBC east.
9,5, 16 and 28/26e can be on one Dish.

Good day Uncle George, happy weekend.

Going by ur advice, I went to see my seller, and he told me he has 200w Belgium Mono panels for me at #33,000 each, and a PMW 12v/24v charge controller for #27,000.
Now my issue is that the panels are 24v, while my setup is a 12v setup, I'm worried the panels won't fit/work well with my 12v setup, but my seller insists that panel voltage does not have direct linkage/impact to battery or inverter voltage as long as the charge controller is 12v/24v.
How true is the above statement and please do you think Belgium panels can match up to current day china brand new.? And are those prices reasonable for the panels and the charge controller.? .... And I stay in Kaduna.
Regards.

nkdave,
welcome on board. even though its not really advisable using trailer batteries
for inverters, since you say its a temporary solution, no problem.
to incorporate solar power for your setup, here is what you need:

170ah multiplied by 1.2 (to account for system losses) will give you: 204ah
this gives a total power output of 2448w (assuming you are draining down to
a dod of 80 to 100 percent - which may not be practical.
for a 5 hour average daily insolation, you can get by with a solar panel array
of between 400w to 600w depending on cloud cover.

as for your brother, you need to get back to us with actual nameplate power
ratings for all the equipment mentioned in your list if you want proper system
sizing advice and cost.

Turns out the Brig-Gen Ikegwuoha (rtd) mentioned here is actually our uncle, i.e, parent's immediate elder brother, but whenever ever any of us dares to apply for any uniform job, uncle would claim he knows nobody, as he has since retired and no longer relevant in the circle, simply because we don't stay in the East... Little would he have known that one of us would somehow read up his name on an anonymous forum.. *Smh*. #DaddyMustSeeThis. #GodIsInControl. #LookUpToGodAlone. #WhatWouldBeWouldBe. #ShockedAndDisappointed.

Thanks loads Sir George, for ur articulate response.

Regarding my brother's quote, it might be a bit difficult, as I'm here in KD, whilst he is in Lagos, and rarely stays home, but all the same, thanks alot, we would see how to work around it.

Chriswazo:


thank u very much for replying, pls how can i get that image sample you sent to me and how much does it sell? pls help me and i hope it will work on gotv decoders?

Sorry for delayed response Chris, dunno if you messaged me or not due to my email setup being picky and all, anyways, if I understood you correctly, you want to be able to watch the contents of your GoTv, (which is already a pay tv), through ur laptop and not necessarily through a tv set.? If yes, then just say light wave tv stick to ur google and the relevant vendors would pop-up, either Amazon, e-bay or AliExpress.

The name of my particular one is Light Wave Usb Tv Stick, there are also other brands rendering such functions, Or you could visit your local computer retailers, as that falls under computer accessories.
Sorry can't help you with the exact price now, as I didn't purchase mine here. But when I convert, it should be in the neighborhood of #10k to #15k, way cheaper than a 14" tv right, lol, also more portable. It aslo has Time shift functionality and recording on to local drive, and YES, it works with GoTv, have used it with a cousin's GoTv set top box in the past.

Gurus in the house, I just discovered this thread and I had already purchased an inverter for my small apartment, I purchased FAMICARE 1000 WATTS INTELLIGENT POWER INVERTER and 2 no.RITAR Battery 150ahr, I have about 14 hours of light where I live and it charges properly but unfortunately I only just realized that on putting on only just my fan, laptop and bulb in my room for about 2 hours the inverter battery voltage indicator goes below 12volts and starts beeping and goes off, I'm utterly confused and disappointed with the whole product, is it a battery problem or the inverter supplies low charging current! Pls help me resolve this issue I jst feel I made a mistake

Congratulations on venturing into AE, and please do not be discouraged by this current situation. I am not a pro, and I also encountered similar situation as you in my first attempt at AE, with same Famicare product.

Luckily I met up with a more sincere family that deals in the AE components, and they adviced me to return the Famicare, as its charging capacity seems to be below 10A, hence any battery above 100ah, can't be comfortably charged by it no matter how long it stays on charge, except if I want to purchase an external charger for it, which I didn't want to do, so I went for the 1.2kva Mercury, modified wave, though about #12,000 higher than the famicare (sorry, I'm not promoting any brand here oo, just stating my own ni) but since then, I think the amount of back up time I get is relatively okay in relation to my miniature set up. I have a 170ah trailer battery, not even inverter battery(dry cell). Best wishes.

durodee:
How is your battery doing ? Its 3 months or so old now.

Good morning all my good people, two questions please, any one who can be of assistance;

1. I have just a 1.2kva Mercury modified sine wave Inverter, + one 170Ah trailer battery (due to monetary constraints at the time, and being experiential too), this gives me back up for between 4 to 7hrs depending on hours of charge it gets from Nepa, and ofcos my usage.
Now I want advice on wattage of solar panel I should add to the existing setup, that would provide better additional back up as recently we only see NEPA for a total of 6hrs in a day, sometimes even less.

And how much would the additions cost me.?

Regards.

2ndly, my big brother is setting up his personal home, and wants to start of with AE, if possible no NEPA at all.
I told him about this site and thread, so he said to ask what it would require and cost if he wants to power the following;
1. Two Refrigerators,
2. Two Air conditioners,
3. A 200L solar geyser (like the one Oga George has got) :-)
4. Three ceiling fans,
5. Three Led Tvs,
6. Two Home Theatre Systems.
7. Bulbs and lighting points as expected for a 4bedroom house
8. Pumping Machine for borehole water.
9. One 13kg front loader Washing Machine.

Thanking you all in advance.

Good day Sir George, and all the trustworthy pioneers of this futuristic thread. I've been following for a while now, and I must say I'm impressed, although I had started using AE some while before I found this thread, I intend to go and grow forward with help from here.

thank u very much for replying, pls how can i get that image sample you sent to me and how much does it sell? pls help me and i hope it will work on gotv decoders?

Wow, thank God what I'm using is a Canon inkjet and not hp inkjet. But I've also got an old hp inkjet, maybe I should resuscitate it, and see what stories it tells me when I attempt using it with the Mercury modified. #DoubleDare.! Lol.

adanny01:


1 and 2 okay but 3. Modified sine wave won't damage anything, it wont work with somethings such as Hp inkjet printers.

I have been using it for almost 2yrs.

Hmm, dear brother,
Battery has been trying it's best oo, "I cannot lie for battery" lol. Over the months, I've learnt how to conserve and utilize energy to my benefit.
What I noticed is this;
1. Battery can last to its maximum which I am discovering to be 7hours or so, if battery gets good charge, i.e, between 4 to 5 hours charge.
2. Fourth bar of battery at good charge, depletes after 1hr, 30mins on initial stated load of 189w, but on the 221w load, it depletes after 1hr.
While 3rd bar depletes after 3hrs, 30mins on 189w, and anything between 2hrs, 30mins & 2hrs on 221w, as I have come to realize that the 21” hunchback tv comprised in the 221w load, has actually got a transformer inside it instead of a transistor, hence that 90w imprint on its back na wash.

Then 2nd to last bar of battery last for up to another 1hr, 30mins on 189w, before entering into the final bar, and then start crying. After which, I switch inverter off and all electronics, and fans, leaving only light bulbs and phone to charge, then switch inverter back on, and 2bars appear again immediately, which now stays for upto another 2hrs, coming up to a total of 8hrs +/-.

Thanks very much for asking, as it shows me that we are all looking out for each other on this thread/forum..and forces me to evaluate the battery and inverter performance put together.

Now I'm thinking of including one mono solar panel to the set up for better back-up, as PHCN is getting "better" by thè day. In fact, at this very moment I write you this reply, PHCN has been off duty since around 7pm to be precise, and Mercury has been on duty, with cool breeze from fan and light to see my works, while the whole neighborhood is in total darkness, safe for small moonlight.

How is your battery doing ? Its 3 months or so old now.

Chriswazo:
friends pls is it possible to watch gotv decoder on laptop pls i really need answer to this

Hi Chris, you can watch any decoder/receiver at all on any laptop at all. (Using a Tv Stick). That is what I use sometimes when my inverter is running low, so I switch tv off, and only have my 20w Dsat decoder on, then get sound from my Bluetooth speaker also getting power from my decoder. :-)

You also get terrestrial channels with it when you go to other countries, like U.k, U.S, Canada and South Africa, (those are the only places I know of), but it doesn't work for Nigeria's terrestrial channels, only channels from a composite device, (decoder).

God bless.

P.s; so far, (to the best of my knowledge), it does not support Hdmi, hence ur visuals would come from the "old school" RCA cables.
Attached is the exact type I use, and been using it now for going on 5years.

LaClicKLaBenDin:


I don't know if it's just me or has anyone noticed that all those who came to this thread before going for the interview or training are all being silent...No one wants to talk about their experience or something...

Hehehehehehe, how can they come back to answer you or anybody else for that matter, when they are all typical Nigerians who have "gotten what they think they need".

It is either that they have signed a Nondisclosure clause or just their typical Nigerian syndrome playing itself out. As we all know, it is mostly in Nigeria that people would knock on ur doors even at unholy hours when they are looking for something, but the moment they get it, even to pass ur street sef becomes a mission.

That's why when ever I want to buy something (Usually gadgets), I don't bother making market surveys, I just go to YouTube, type in the name of the product, and surely, some "white" person must have taken their time out to make a comprehensive review on the product, and if possible, even advice you on whether to buy or not to buy. But never a Nigerian.

With one other person coming on here to say that it is 1st class and 2nd class upper division applicants, that are being invited/selected for interviews, having my kid sister, a 1st class in Accounting graduate, all worked up as she is still yet to receive an SMS, talk more of an invitation for interview. Mtschew, we know the people running the country, and those who hardly get even the leftovers, albeit being qualified. Anyways, I keep telling her to hold out strong, as something way better than 30k is on its way for her. That would be my same message to you all out here feeling confused and let down by the country's inadequate and less transparent system of recruitment.

God's blessings.
