@odilibe.
Please what's the name of ur box. Very sharp gui. I happened to own dicom & digisat dual. I still believe the inverto black ultra is better [ not the fake type they're selling here o].
That is old box amiko alien 2 HD....about 7years old
I am not sure if inverto black ultra single will be better than dicom lnb overall in frequency range between 11700 to 12750..it will be more like tottenham vs man city in the previous UCL.
The black ultra quad is better than digisat is some frequencies also on other frequency digisat twin performs better than inverto ultra quad..
Digisat performs better than the lnb in the local market.. strong etc...

pls Mr odilibe how do I get this LNB it is not common in d market.
U can Use digisat twin good on 11938 and high ku band frequencies

Mr odilibe,I hail o.pls can 2.4m pan dish bring down all the cosmote channels on 9e in abuja.And the LNB type.
No ..you can only get this frequencies with 2.4m ..11842v27500 11938 H 27500 12053H27500 of cosmote..the other frequencies on Greece beam is hard...12169/27500.. 12284 /27500
Better to track with 11823H27500...Sisal tv
Signal better from 6pm

Which dish is the best for nailing cosmote, since mesh is not good for it and what size of dish should one use in southeast
From 3meter pan/fibre dish..
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by odilibe(m): 9:20am On Aug 17, 2019
hubbell:
Still no one to confirm cosmote tracking in Southeast either with 2.4 and above, having 3.4 dish in southeast Nigeria is not giving joy,please which satellites are good for this size of BUD dish
Only Cosmote 11843V27500. 11938H27500. 12054H27500 is or will be receivable.

The owners of AFN that chose PowerVu Verimatrix encryption in place of stronger encryption mode like Conax Videoguard, Viaccess, Cryptoguard, Betacrypt and others being used by DSTV, Canalsat, Startimes are not unaware that the protocol can be broken and being broken. But why they chose PowerVu Verimatrix which are cheaper is known to them. They regularly update the keys and their 2018 upgrade made it impossible for Strong decoders and other Sunplus decoders to even decode them, despite manually entering the keys. This called for improvement with newer decoders like Tiger, elephant, Range T20 with capabilities of Auto rolling frequent key changes.
Verimatrix is not broken ..The use of hashmode in powervu makes it difficult for some receivers to decode channel even with valid keys since hashmode changes time to time you will need updated software.. most boxes won't give support for this update..

davodyguy:
Advanced encryption took place immediately after Wimbledon 2019 on Sunday.

For Tiger, Range, Hellobox V5 and all other Auto Roll PowerVU to work, they need updated software.
For Auto roll to work the receiver emulator needs valid EMM key in softcam.key file..to update ECM key. it seems like the provider emm key / auto roll keys has expired; end of the road @ the moment!

@yawwilson mine case is different MY ADAPTOR STOPD WORKING AND MY SON CUTTED IT OFF AND PLUG THE WIRE DIRECT AND AS EXPECTED THE DICODER SMOKED FROM THE PANEL INSIDE. MY QUESTION IS. IS THERE A REMEDY 4 IT? OR IS THE DECODER DEAD? Talking about 4955b
You are talking about pluging directly a 240 volts AC Main current to a 12volts Dc electronic components ...that was a bomb!! Beyond repair unit!

WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS?

my 4955b suddenly stopped responding, so when I pulled out the DC adaptor of the sucket and put it back the decoder refused to turn ON.

Kindly help. Thanks.
You must have caused a spark that damaged your IC

Spy360:
WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS?

What do you think could be the problem? I thought DC adaptors protect decoders from AC voltage power surges.
Kindly help. Thanks.
No adaptors don't protect anything from surges!
The main content in these adaptors are the step down DC low voltage transformers, which are supposed to be inside the decoders ...they are made external in adaptors to reduce over heating in the case of smaller housing decoders or can easily be replaced when damage!However you cannot get automatic voltage supply from this adaptors made for the receiver mainly 100-240Volts in case of low voltage ..

Yes it is possible.
First get a Eurobox spliter, connect your lnb cable to the port mark in, then connect your decoder a to one of the port marked out , Finally the other decoder to the second port also marked out, In the event of Diseqc switch take the second cable to the port of your Diseqc switch of the other decoder if you are running a multiple lnbs You can chart me up if you encounter any issues.
This technique is only possible in this satellites example nigcomsat@42.5east, eutelsat@7east, eutelsat@16east where all used frequencies in sub-sahara use identical polarisation ....otherwise you can't mix H/V pol from different frequencies on both receivers on same cable run to lnb assuming you tuned to the opposite pol H vs V..this may cause or upset the receiver tuner to crash incoming signal ..receiver may require reboot in some cases!

abohwun:
I understood exactly what you have written, in this regard, either a patch software is from official manufacturer or from a third party it is illegal to international law. Again have it at the back of your mind that third party can not produced a software (patch or not) without the consent of the official manufacturer. If you can remember there was a time a particular company (a popular one) was not in agreement with their patch software producers and they pasted on the patch site, and from then that company has been backward interns software.
In open source receivers,the source code is made available to the public or to anyone/developer who wants to improve or modify or create software patch including create an update firmware of the box ,since the source code is available to the public..in this case you don't need the manufacturer consent to alter create new software of the box ..example dreambox/ enigma 2 Linux receivers ..while some other boxes also use 3rd party patch software! to open $,example gospel, receivers in CPU family arm cortex and Sh4 amino receivers etc!

In close source receivers the source code is not available for the public to view, in this case only the manufacturer or someone with access of the source code from the manufacturer can create parch software of the box, example strong receivers etc..close source receivers don't use 3rd party patch software..you will need to wait for the manufacturer to create patch software if they needs to!

That is a minus for me, for me any machine without auto Biss and powerful and 4k functionality is no no 4 me.
Your choice is OK..
I prefer enigma 2 for the support only
I have a 6year old enigma Linux receiver still works on pvu till date.. 3rd party support still available for the box..

TSHIRT2:
In my quest to have a decoder that is all encompassing, mine search brought up this decoder and 4k tiger decoder ,even I have both on my cart on aliexpress, but we all know what those 4k tiger decoder can do, auto Biss and powerful and 4k functionality which are mine drive for any decoder right now. But my question is can this enigma autoroll Biss and powerful, I know of every other functions because I have used T-link decoder before the Linux things.if it can autoroll Biss and powerful then I will pick it over 4k tiger decoders.Thanks
The auto biss function not available in enigma 2,pow auto works with the correct configuration...and not plug and play

graphicicon:
how much is the decoder in your area?, does it autorol biss and Powervu, and does it support HEVC h.265 video codec and also cccam, these are some of the things we need to consider before buying a decoder
If you don't want to purchase a box in the near future,Current fta boxes should be able to handle multi stream frequencies like few startimes frequency @10east C band and dvb-s2x satellite transmission like frequency 12597V10058 on eutelsat @33.1east..but not excluding hevc or pvu,online movie streaming,Youtube,Kodi,IPTV.

If you can handle any enigma 2 Linux receivers they are the best, this boxes receives software outside the manufacturers support that is 3rd party firmware or software

With an fta receiver that supports hevc/uhd/4k multi stream and with dvbs-s2x tuner and above,you are good to go.

What's its specialty?
It is full combo reception receiver according to the spec..terrestrial/cable+satellite+android tv all in one box Hevc support ...it is arm_cortex based...that means it can use oscam/..it can run the latest oscam which support b**s2 ecm and emm detection!..softcam keys update or key input is through USB to receiver edited on pc with key editor not remote control!!!!....otherwise importing key won't be by novice!!Generally from specification and features ...a good box and for FTA!!

Hello techies in the house, I have a Pace Sky digibox bskyb 2400 decoder, can it be used for fta.
Yes it can be used for free to view only if you are in the UK or close to astra 2e@28.2east UK beam or sky pay tv /free to view uk astra 2e transponders!
Otherwise you can't .. the box is useless for free to view without the programmed astra 2e transponders only!!cos it is programmed to use the transponders!

I don't have the box or used it before...from info @the web..seems like the box only edits keys by pen drive on PC...not by remote control .. the box can use OSCAM to read biss key found in softcam keys for biss etc to work..update done using pen drive and biss key edits done on Pc.. You may need the to google this info.. Nice box!!! the kind of box I will like to play with..

Glad to hear from one of the greats. You mean one of these prime focus lnbs could perform better than the black ultra on the offset dish. Pls confirm sir
No!!!Black ultra will perform poorly on prime focus antennas only.....on offset dish,including long cable run ...inverto black ultra outweighs..the single black ultra performs better than the quad based on reviews!

Is the lnb @ the main focal point/centre...of the dish! or @ offset angle??

Good day bro, for how long were they on 62 global?
I can recall around 2006! you can't receive the transponder with a dish less than 2.4mtr ..2007 2008 2009 it can be more than that ....on the global beam on_weak transponder @62!SD dvbs channel not possible with a dish less than 2.4metre for the channel..though with sky news/sentech mux in the same sat with 2.4m! ..few or no blind scan receivers around 2006 for that type of haunts a good installer managed to give me it's TP ..no point using encryption method then....

Lunsat:
I don't know what logic goes into choosing 5/6 or 3/4
..Fec codes are used to control interference with signals ..choosing fec codes depends on the bandwidth and transmitting power of a transponder...
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by odilibe(m): 12:03pm On Feb 28, 2018
Truly1:
Correct!. FEC value of 5/6 is weaker than 3/4, it also need bigger dish for the decoder to nail.
not always true..the difference of fec 3/4 or 5/6 is the signal threshold...otherwise a transponder of fec 5/6 can have excess transmitting power (dB) than transponder of fec 3/4 of same satellite...that can make transponder of fec 5/6 easy to nail than 3/4

Correct if you are comparing fec 3/4 and 5/6 on different transponders with equal power then 3/4 will require smaller dish size than 5/6...but the signal quality will be same level when received but transponders..even though this won't make any difference with a required dish size..
