That's because your decoder is not H.265. On many occasions I have mentioned that here, for people who don't have compatible decoders to know before tracking.

So you have to make do with the stations tthat is on 11090 v 30000. Or you can get yourself H.265 decoder, if you think it is worth it.

If your phone is android and compass works on it.. I will advice you to go to play store and download

Satellite director by zekitez.


It will always make it more easier for you to know the exact direction to point your dish. Before you even embark on tracking any satellite whatsoever.

All you need do in the app is just to locate the sat name / degree you want to track. Click on director and it pin points you to where your dish needs to face. That way you don't really have to bother coming here to ask us for directions anymore.

One love

Dish are designed differently, but taking the common type we have, on 60cm dish 28.2e to 42.5 is about 12 to 15cm, on 85cm or 90cm is about 14 to 17cm.
MBC is also on 26e. You can set 26e using 12284 v 27500 then lower the signal a bit to accommodate 28.2e, then attached 33e on top

First of all, using lyngsat to confirm the channels update given here, is not really a wise decision. Because that website is not always up to date or quick to update their channel list. Most info you see there are sometimes very old or outdated.

Secondly the info given here is not based on what any website is saying but rather based on real live/ personal experience. So when you hear us talking about latest development, it's based on the fact that we have, tracked, scanned, watched and confirmed. Before we come here to say anything of that sort.

Thirdly, many of us have dishes pointed at major sat positions or some are into daily installation. So most times do a periodic blind scanning.

Fourthly, when you hear more than one person repeating or hammering on new channels update / sat position. You don't need to rush to any website to go and check that info. Because there is a huge difference between office work and field work. The website is like an office work. But forums like this, is the real field work that contains people who carry out the physical practicals needed to give an authentic info and solutions in real time.

Finally on the issue of dish size.. The signal is strong enough to be tracked by a 60cm dish or above depending on which is at your disposal

Your matter simple.

First thing to check, is if TV outlet has already been wired.

Second is how many channels they need to be showing in the TV in the rooms.


Once you've got that info. Then you can proceed with the needed materials to do the job.

If it is just one channel they want showing in all the rooms, and the TV outlet has already been wired before by the electrician. Then all you have to do is buy an RF modulator ( this apply to new Dstv decoder that does not have an Rf output). Then you connect the av output to the Rf modulator... From the Rf modulator/ converter, you connect the TV wire that links to all the TVs in the room.

But if it is a multi channel setup.. Then you have to calculate one decoder to one channel. So for example it is four to eight channels they want showing in each TV.. Then it has to be four to eight decoders as well.

Then you have two options in such a setup depending on the financial strength of your client. The option of using a multiswitch to reduce the amount of dishes installed outside. Or using a four pin Lnb for a four decoder setup or two four pin lnb on two dishes on an, eight decoder setup. Then you need a channel combiner or you can still use an eight way Splitter in reverse. To combine all the wire coming from each 4/5/6/7/8 Rf modulator or Rf out of each decoder. Then you connect the single wire that links and loop to each rooms. Then you configure each decoder to a specific channel. Starting from channel 21 to 69. That way each time a TV connected to the TV outlet is scanned, all 4/5/6/7/8 channels will appear in that order.

Remember to add signal booster/ amplifier inbetween. For a more clearer picture.

This is just the basic.. Though it can still get more advanced than that.. Depending

Predator188:
Good lnb will give normal and high signal strength when connected to the decoder..
Trouble shooting for bad lnb: connect lnb to the decoder without installing on the dish The signal strength will drop if lnb is connected to the decoder.
what spoils lnb old age or electric shock from lightning and abnormal high power supply from decoder

jiday4:
You are just too much and many others trying to help here , God bless you and other gurus abundantly.
Good advice you dish out there but sir what about people with inbuilt satellite TV, what kind of advice can you give .

Ojochogwusunny:
track with this Tp 12538H 5000,try to hit high signal quality then input 12518 H 29500. Note that ur lnb should b at 9 or 2oclock.happy haunting!!

waleayeni1:
Apologise that's what I meant to type. I used that tp with no resul

waleayeni1:
I have been beaten two nights in a row tracking nigcomsat sattelite. Got dstv satellite on 36e brought it down like I was advised but no signal quality used 12519 H 29500 & 125198 H 29500 with no success. What am I still missing please?

Digitman:
LNB skew = between 3.0 clock / 4.0 clock

Dish size =90cm for 3/7 degree west. For better signal ( though you can still get it with 60cm , depending on your tracking skills and the signal strength in your location)

Dish size = from 60cm to 90cm for 51.1 east (TSTV POSITION) you are too much boss thanks a whole lot

Digitman:
The mob you use for house cleaning. The handle is what I am referring to, that you should use as a stand. You tight the dish to it and look for an open space to try out the tp. Just to get an idea of where the signal pops up. Then after you have gotten the signal.. You can now mount your dish on the wall or roof in that exact position. The whole idea is for you to just experiment with it to find out where is best to nail or hang your dish. Instead of having to pull the dish hanger from anywhere you have nailed it before initially, because you could not get a signal. It doesn't really have to be a mob stick.. It could be a short pole or even a normal wood that is not less than four feet tall. I hope you get the picture?

waleayeni1:
Thanks for the info. Exhaustion has almost killed me moving dish left and right after a full day's work. I go try am tomorrow

waleayeni1:
Bro good evening, I Don use all the skills wey you teach me but nigcomsat1r still dey elude me. I have used the tp you provided still cannot nail that satellite I am going out again for another try. Abeg help me o. Because I don't intend to sleep tonight before nailing that bird. Please save me from my unwise pledge not to sleep tonight

Digitman:
The building stand a good chance in deflecting the signal from hitting your dish.

You can try and take that particular dish away from the tall building. Look for an open space with no obstacle,

( you can use a mob stick or anything of sort to experiment the exact location where you got a better signal before permanently installing the dish)

install the dish there and extend the wire to your Diseqc switch .

Digitman:
7.0 west = 11560 v 27500

3.0 west = 10972 v. 30000

51.1 east = 11130 h 30000

Digitman:
No... However is still active in other satellite position

7.0 west
3.0 west
51.1 east

Digitman:
Hope you're enjoying those TSTV channels that are currently transmitting for free. It's all about enjoying it while it last.

Digitman:
Good suggestion depending on his budget.

Digitman:
Almost all FTA decoder supports multiple LNB once it has a diseqc switch support.



Then when is comes to prices of decoder, I don't normally contribute because I am not a marketer. However you can get H.265 enabled decoder ranging from 10 - 22k or even more depending on the brand.

Digitman:
I believe I already stated that fact in my earlier post.

Tracking 68.5 degree east when there is no obstruction in front of your dish, is like, (tree near tree make monkey dey behave like say him nor dey like waka for ground)
But once there is an obstruction in front of your dish ( then the trees are very far apart. Then you go see the way monkey go use idea dey stroll for ground to avoid story for the gods)

Don't mind me with that joke oh.. It reminded me of how an installer spend a whole day trying to nail that sat and finally gave up in the night telling the people he came to work for that the signal is not available in that particular location. Simply because he did not observe the line of sight before and while tracking.

So my brother, just observe the line of sight and you will notice what is obstructing the signal from hitting your dish.

Also, sometimes your mounting Pole alignment can still contribute to it, when it is not well plumped .

Further more if you like two to three dish already installed.

Take for example

Dish one is joy TV

Dish two is nigcomsat

And you are trying to install your church station in dish three.

You can try testing if the signal will pop up in the joy TV or nigcomsat dish position. Sometimes it works.

Digitman:
Between 3.0 clock to 4.0 clock depending on dish alignment ..

Try using these frequencies instead

12522 v 27500
12602 v 30000
