obnelly: .

Odilibe and George D I salute your courage ,you are the light that keep this forum burning.I am with you. All sorry if this piss off some friends but I still remain obnelly cause I believe in pictures.Odilibe from UK to 9JA ,dont be suprise that the picture is real in 9ja with better signal strength,it is the power of satellite technology 'BELIEVE IN BETTER'.
obnelly if you are receiving the free channel on sky uk at 28.5east that will more interesting I mean cbs movies,hitv,sky news etc,any luck on those channels¤

Pidzo: "We are very much aware of these new decoders; we have actually been following it for some time now," Sekgororoane said. Dealers say for the decoders to intercept the signal they use two satellite dishes facing each other.
"this sounds like a receiver with built-in dongle". i mean with dongle inside grin grin..new trick. undecided

Thanks for all your efforts so far. The £118.68 overall price is not bad at all considering the circumstances.
We will work in house to make this happen.

@Ikiriye,
Please begin to compile the names of those interested in this project.[/quote]Anytime you guys are ready let me know....Anytime!!!

[quote author=George_D]@odilibe,
It's got to be the inverto quad red classic c120 for prime focus. Can we estimate the weight of all three
LNBs including the spitfire and avenger? That will help us calculate the expected DHL cost to Nigeria.[/quote]
Ikiriye: @ odilibe
Please remove the carton casing to reduce It's weight and also add the feedhorn for the inverto red quad.cheese
@George and ikiriye ...the inverto quad c120 red classics cost=£19.95 + 16.95 invacom feedhorn=£36.90
the inverto quad c120 weight =243g/0.243kg...invacom feedhorn weight=0.30kg..the weight of spitfire and anvenger ku lnb is not available but the weight of all the three lnbs including the feedhorn will fall (between 0.5kg-1kg=£51.95)there was an error on my previous post in respect of DHL shipping rate..you may refer to DHL website (www.dhl.co.uk/en/express/shipping/dhlitnow.html)
That means that inverto quad c120 lnb +feedhorn+avenger+spifire lnb +DHL Shipping rate(£51.95)=£118.68
If this is ok let me know. huh
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by odilibe(m): 10:10pm On Aug 13, 2012
@Georqe and Ikiriye....
DHL shipping from london uk to nigeria cost, depends on the weight of the parcel...
between 0.5kg and 1kg=£45.95.
between 1kg and 2kg=51.95.
avenger pll lnb cost £7.64 + 5.67 postage=£13.37each
spitfires lnb cost £8.28 +£8.18 postage=£16.46each
If you want the inverto lnb(s) let me know the exact one....if the inverto black pro c120 single ku lnb or the twin ,or inverto quad red classic c120 ku lnb prime focus or the inverto black ultra quad ku lnb for offset...cheers.

[quote author=George_D]@odilibe,
No matter. The transport costs are as anticipated. Give me us a final figure we can work with.
I guess they have to ship them to you before you can send them to us?[/quote]ok..George,then which exact lnb the spitfire,avenger or inverto flange, i can get the inverto easily. grin
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by odilibe(m):
Ikiriye: @George D
Are we looking at avenger,spit fire and inverto flange lnb all in UK,if so I have my contact in UK.when I get the total price we can pay it to his account here in Nigeria and either wait till November or courier service he can organise for us.I need others to also check any UK site for cheaper offer and send me link to site.
The spitfire and the avenger is not available in the UK but from the US...international postage from united states costs twice of each lnb...for inverto flange c120 lnb view this link (www.ebay.co.uk/sch/satellite-LNBs-/149971/i.html?Brand=Inverto) (www.redappledigital.co.uk/category-s/1814.htm)

Iron2011: @ george d
pls i will advise u do alot of reseach b4 u order the said lnb. I have forgotten the exact site but i have read most people chosen that american lnb( sky spitfire) posted by ihacked ahead of the Avenger.
...I won't say that you are wrong but from test carried out on fridge fta forum they claimed that avenger pll ku lnb outperformed spitfire ku lnbf by huge signal quality...to read review follow this link......(www.fridgefta.info/forums/showthread.php?tid=26131&page=2)

I think you just stumbled on a major game changer as far as FTA is concerned!
Reading all through that link just made me drool!
If the reports (and testimonials) on that page is anything to go by then I think we should all be
preparing to place our orders for that magic PLL KU LNB![/quote](ESX521FE KU LNB OUTPERFORMED AVENGER PLL KU LNB. grin grin grin grin) .... Before you order you might want to read a ku band comparison test report done by a member of satellite guys forum united states..(US) between, geosat pro SL2 bullet dual output standard lnbf noise figure;0.4db vs ESX521FE Single output ku band lnbf noise figure ;0.2db vs AVENGER PLL single output universal ku lnbf noise figure;0.1db...the test was carried out on a 120cm satellite antenna according to the member, on AMC 1 @103WEST,SES2@87WEST,AMC 9@83WEST,GALAXY19@97WEST SATELLITES....At the conclusion of that test report EX521FE KU LNB Outperformed AVENGER PLL 300KHZ HIGH STABILITY KU LNB....To read the test report follow this link......(www.satelliteguys.us/free-air-fta-discussion/289881-ku-band-lnbf-comparison-report.html)..Since the avenger pll lnb is an offset ku lnb it may perform poorly on a prime focus antenna as per fringe reception. huh

[quote author=George_D]@Ikiriye,
Sometimes, these decibel ratings are just stamps pasted on the LNB.

For example that is why you see a 0.3db premium LNB of a particular brand performing better
than a supposed 0.1db LNB from a fake brand.

That said I think the real proof on an LNB's performance is in the field sfter they're installed.[/quote]you have a point......You can never trust u.a.e lnbs ...all exported With wrong specifications !!! grin grin

Olucheye: Good Day everyone,

I have been tasked on making findings on the creations of a digital Tv service provider in Nigeria just like the .likes of DSTV, MyTV, HiTv but a big with more quality in terms of content and service. I'm not a technical expert on it and that is why i need the help of everyone in the house on this. Please i need links on how it can be done.

Cheers

mbapelvis: Just wondering whether with a 2.4 m net dish one could possibly track Nilesat or Badr 4 in Calabar. A quick response will be highly solicited.
I have attempted tracking nilesat_102 with motorised 2.5mtr mesh dish in enugu_nigeria i only ended up getting weak signal 31% quality on MBC PACKAGE,31% quality is below threshold it can't hit green on strong x/s receiver that is, i required at least 40% quality to get mbc channel, but that didn't happen...your location is calabar you can't receive weak signal of MBC PACKAGE/TRANSPONDER which is more easier to track on nilesat 101/102 using 2.4mtr net/mesh dish, in calabar........i doubt if 2.4mtr pan dish can do well on nilesat in your location..calabar is southern nigeria at the edge of nigerian map.. grin grin grin grin grin

Ikiriye: @ satmaniac
Yahsat don't go for anything less than 3m.in satellite world the bigger the better.
[color=#990000]The problem with yahsat1A.... is that most frequency/transponder on that satellite are transmitting on LOW FEC_RATE 8/9 ,LOW FEC RATES increases the reception threshold point as a result a bigger dish is required to exceede the threshold level as per fringe reception ..this includes DUBAI ONE 11823/27500 FEC =8/9 (MIDDLE-EAST BEAM)...ABU DHABI MUX 118262/27500 FEC-8/9 (MIDDLE-EAST BEAM)..HIGH TV 11977/27500 FEC=8/9..AL-RIYADIAH MUX 11881/27500 (EUROPE BEAM)... NATIONAL GEO FARSI(EUROPE BEAM) 11958/27500 FEC=8/9...MBC CHANNELS AND FOX CHANNELS may be received easily at least they transmitte on a FEC RATE 5/6 higher than fec: 8/9....LOW FEC RATES is yahsat 1a tracking difficulty. grin grin....MODIFIED

Jummy mine: Thanks for the picture its mesh type that i bought maybe that is why he couldnt locate
it
He should have known well that he could not track nilesat with the mesh dish....the mesh dish does not work well with the ku band signal...even at coverage area the performance is poor with respect to the size....

Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by odilibe(m):
verwegsateliet: thx for answering thois.
can u answer this or any anyone.

The lynsat have footprint and dish size ,satbeams have exectrea,which site it the most precise on estimated dish sizes and also do they work on a dish mesh size for cband what is standard as some mesh dishes have 3.5m+- mesh and some 2.5mm whas wondering if they say for example 2.3m will be needed for x sattelite an d 1.8 for y will improving the mesh size make a huge difference on footprint size with the lowest noise figure lnb.
for exmple i know the bigger the better but lets say i have a 3m dish and 15k lnb will i get some signal with an eirp thats needed 30 or up that need an bigger dish also reducing the orignal size at least by half the mesh size.
Iwould appreciate if everyone can join in as on what is the eirp based as different dishes for c band have differnet sizes what would be the standard mesh size for this footprints and increasing this i know would make a huge difference for ku band if it is halfed but what is a 10% increase or so plus an very low noise 15k lnb on a 3m dish.
Satmeams is better than lyngsat on EIRP VALUES & RECOMMENDED DISH SIZES as per coverage areas but their is no specification on type of dish whether pan or mesh as satellite antennas of same sizes have different antenna gain(dBi) on a given frequency(GHz)this can be found on the satellite dish manufacturer's specification sheet ...the higher the dish gain(dBi)the better the signal it receives from a transmitting satellite.....below is a chart of eirp which is transmitted by the satellite in the KU & C-BAND,the chart is useful when looking at footprint charts for a satellite..note that if you have an lnb of a better noise figure than those stated you will get better result using the dish sizes given....
ANTENNA SIZES FOR EIRP OUTPUT.
C band STANDARD lnb of noise figure 20K
(EIRP dBW) (DISH SIZES DIAMETER)
38.5dBW............ 180CM
38.0dBW............ 190CM
36.5dBW ........... 220CM
35.5dBW........... 240CM
31.5dBW........... 320CM
30.5dBW .......... 340CM


KU BAND UNIVERSAL LNB of noise figure 0.7db
(EIRP dBw ) (DISH SIZES DIAMETER)
46dBW..... 80CM
45dBW .... 90CM
42dBW .... 100CM
41dBW..... 120CM
36dBW..... 240CM
35dBW..... 300CM
NOTE:You can use a dish smaller than the minimum recommended dish sizes at a particular satellite but you might encounter problems tracking weaker transponders, on the other hand a good low noise figure(db) lnb can also improve the signal quality..in respect of weak signal.
