Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by odilibe(m):
notindome: hi satellite gurus,
i want to ask if this cBand&Ku band set up is possible on a 1m dish:

16/17' east---------Kuband(amos/w3c)

20' east---------------Cband (primary LNBf) irib package

28.2' east---------------Kuband(multi tv)

36' east---------------Kuband(less important) dstv

Just thinking if its possible,cos of the mix of cband and kuband. It will solve my free to air needs. thank you.
...seems like west africa/sub-sahara are lacking satellite tracking tools and accessories..sorry to say this but it is true!..imagine pics below cry

Saipro: I disagree. South of the Benue & Niger, literally any good LNBF will work. I have a shelf loaded with Invacoms, Invertos, Avengers & all sorts - of various types. Most of them aren't worth the cash paid on them. Asides a particular Invacom (for reception of circular waves) & another amazing quad Avenger
What part do you disagree with.. if you have done a test, you can give us the experimental results of these lnbs you have listed ..the point was that inverto red classics c120 lnb, beats other lnb on experimental results done previously!!

I Hacked: but because may bee he is hobbies he may not use 1000 of euro for sat finder that will only be use for only one day but that does not mean that he don't know that it is the best
The above statement settles it then...sat finder good..but it does not worth it for one time installation...good when climbing ladder or moving dish all the time. grin

pedronaran62: modification to my 1.8m prime focus sat dish
The formular for calculating the focal length of a parabolic dish is given below...

Focal length=f
Depth=c
Diameter=D

f=(D * D)/(16 * c)

what i mean, if the depth of your dish has increased or changed and the diameter also increased...from your pics..why is your focal point still constant?..just wondering grin grin

williams85: thank u bro, I've done that still same, i noticed this after a thunder strik.
looks like lightning has damaged your receiver cry....i had the same experience with my anologue receiver then, in which one of the polarity was damaged by lightning...but the only way to correct the fault without repair was to loop through from another digital receiver...anytime i want to watch a channel on the Anologue receiver with Horizontal pol ..i had to go to the digital receiver switch to any channel with Horizontal Pol vice versa...try loop through from another receiver ...see if it may work....

How to stream live satellite channel to pc on alien2&alien2+ via local network

To set it up all you need is to download VLC Media player on your PC, install it and ensure you install the plugin for your browser (firefox internet explorer etc) when prompted at the start of the installation.

On the alien2 go to the menu >Net settings > Ip config > 3rd line down is your Alien2 IP address.Enter this IP in your web browser on your PC and you will get this screen.....

Zeetry: i didn't say anything about stbs having a particular range of symbol rates they work with,don't attribute that to me it is Odilibe who report so, guy get your fact right
@Zeetry....some receivers have a particular range of symbol rate they work with..can your strong srt receiver take in symbol rate below 2000?..example 1172, try this an report back ,while some receivers like eurostar stb etc can use this symbol rate....

I got one parameter from flysat/amos 5 @ 17east..you can try it also...lagos tv, frequency 4140 R symbol rate 1000...i am sure some stb can't use the above symbol rate...

kd10: @Odilibe"Nde ewo onye ukwu biko what is the way out bcus i have checked Strong link Non of their STB is Linux based & Infinity package refuse to show pic on my 4669x with 65% unlike before.Biko throw more light on it Sir.Secoundly 4922A/4930L which one of them is best for me to buy?.Cheers.
@kd10...I don't think this is a linux operating system issue...i have examined the Tuner specification of strong boxes at their website, the srt 4922A and others etc...this is what i found out...

This is the frequency of infinity bouquet at Amos 5_17east below...

Frequency :11156 vertical.
Symbol rate:45000
FEC rate: 3/5
Mode;DVBS2..MPEG-4..QPSK
Encryption;CONAX

Tuner specifications of strong srt 4922A and others srt related to this are below

Input symbol rate:DVBS: 2-45MS/S
DVBS2:10-30MSPS(QPSK & 8PSK )

FEC decode DVB-S : 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8
DVB-S2: 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5,5/6,8/9,9/10(QPSK)
3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, 8/9, 9/10(8PSK)

Here is the break down analysis

The strong srt boxes related to the above specification did not comply with the symbol rate of infinity bouquet at amos 5 @ 17east....since the input symbol rate of strong srt boxes ,DVB-S2 input symbol rate =10-30msps ..Excluding conax encryption system.

conclusion you will be having tuner issue using most strong stb,4922A ETC on dvb-s2 signal on symbol rate over 30000 ,while it can't decode DVB-S2 signal at FEC =1/4, 7/8, 1/3, 2/5 on both mode (QPSK & 8PSK) and may reject symbol rate below 2000 etc... My advice is this when you want to buy a box, read features and specification sheets before you buy,cheers grin

Zeetry: strong dey try bross, all those receivers u mentioned are linux based, they've realised that DTH owners these days are encrypting there signals only to work on there box which are mainly linux based, hence their( strong) decision to produce linux receivers like 4329, 4300,4922,4922A etc
This strong boxes you stated, are not linux based operating system/open source receivers like dreambox..direct me to the link or to the website, where it is stated..cheers grin

Talenty: I called the guy in Lagos and he told me that Redline is 28,000 naira. It's really on a high side but considering the functions, it's worth it.
"but the price of redline boxes are going down each month in the uk, worth less than 19k in a uk online shop"...while ordering 10pieces of redline T3000HD box on a spot worth less than 15000naira each "this box is supposed to be cheaper in lagos"... grin

[quote author=George_D]@odilibe, With clean FTA you don't have to worry about your favorite stations been scrambled. You don't have to waste precious time hunting for keys all over the internet. You don't have to face the embarrassment of explaining to that eagle-eyed neighbor of yours why the champions league match he came to watch in your house suddenly went off and with the decoder showing $$$ signs.[/quote]@George you are right fta channel won't go scrambled....but they can switch off anytime on/off,unable to maintain service...change frequency ..leave satellite completely ,same thing goes, you will face same embarrassment..when your TV channel goes blank.. grin grin no signal, but that is what makes it a hobby...However whether haunting for fta channel or key for $channel etc..there will always be a price to pay....

Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by odilibe(m):
ayolacz: two of u are confused. c band or ku band signal does not determine the dish size u need to hit green on any satellite. what determines the dish size u need is the footprint of the satellite.
"but still footprint does not determine the dish size you need to lock a particular transponder on any given satellite @ coverage area or @ fringe area" grin ...What determines the dish size is the EIRP level=(dBW)...dBW means the power radiated from the satellite in direction towards the contour line, where EIRP ...(Effective isotropic radiated power):it is a measure of transmission power of a given satellite beam...it is also the amount of power that would have to be radiated by an isotropic antenna to produce the equivalent power density observed from the actual antenna in a specified direction...For example the highest number, towards the middle of the coverage map shows where the down-link beam is strongest and most easy to receive, in the center of the beam a smaller dish size is required...as you move further away from the beam peak ,the beam becomes less porwerful and larger dish will be required...where EIRP level of 55dBW will be equal to a dish size of 40cm in the ku band within coverage area or EIRP LEVEL=49dBW and dish size of 65CM within same beam/same footprint @ different direction etc....
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by odilibe(m):
auchs: it means you can watch two different channels at same time with the decoder. Get two televisions for the decoder.
@auch you may have explained a dual view receiver..not a twin tuner receiver, dual view normally have two remote controls, to what two different tv channels from one receiver on two tv without interruptions grin
