verwegsateliet: thx
what i wanted to know to be precise is how long does it normally take to arive at is staitonary orbit.
"There is no precise time"..it only depends on how long the satellite owners wants to move the launched sat around in-orbit for testing..some satellite like eutelsat7 westA @7west took less than 14days to arrive at 7west..but it seems like ses-5 will take longer than 3weeks to arrive at 5east..cos it is now at 129.55east....still moving!!!

petfun4u: My people, does anyone know which satellite is positioned just exactly like my TV (68.5degree east|) but this very one is in the west. I have seen it almost everywhere in Abuja here, but I don't know the sat.

Remain blessed.
check lyngsat ...it seems like telstar 11N_37.6 West....(www.lyngsat.com/Telstar-11N.html)_sub-sahara africa ku beam. grin grin grin

etcwest: HELLO gurus in the house. i have locked on to both amos 5 17e and w3c 16e. am able to get all the channels expept 1KZN and bay tv. please help
You may have tracked both amos 5 @ 17 east and w3c @ 16east with one lnb at same position...since both satellites are not on same position you are likely and must loose signal quality on one or both satellites...re-track amos 5 separately and increase your signal level to optimum, may be 1kzn and bay tv may show up...as the footprint of 1bay tv and 1kzn,is only for southern-africa...

verwegsateliet: intelsat 20 will it be stronger than the intelsat 68E
or the same.
intelsat 20 @ 68.5east will replace intelsat 7 and intelsat 10 which is in-fact of two different satellite currently located 68.5 east.TRANSPONDER DETAILS;the old intelsat 10 @ 68.5east has 24 c-band and 24 ku band transponders and intelsat 7 has 14 c-band and 30 ku-band transponder while the new intelsat 20 which is a single satellite has 28 c-band and 46 ku band transponder providing direct to home video channels to asia ,africa,europe and the middle-east same as old intelsat 7 and 10,it seems the new intelsat 20 has more payload than the intelsat 7 and 10.To know Which satellite is more stronger can only be based on reception details ;that is EIRP LEVEL and recommended dish sizes as per coverage areas in that, the recommended dish size required, is about 230-250cm dish estimated to get good signal on intelsat _10 C-BAND in Namibia ,South africa and Zimbabwe required about 230cm dish estimate,Congo 210cm. Nigeria ,ghana,mali recommended dish size is about 250cm dish=35dBW estimated on intelsat_10 C-BAND global beam while on the new intelsat 20 namibia rcommended dish size on the C-BAND coverage is 230cm/36dBW,south-africa and zimbabwe =230cm.Nigeria,Ghana,Mali,Cameroon and other parts of west-africa=230cm/36dBW based on EIRP LEVEL and recommended dish sizes, it seems that intelsat 20 C-BAND signal will be stronger than intelsat 10 @68.5east in west africa and slight increase is some part of southern africa..while south africa etc remained unchanged, same EIRP LEVEL..

favour112: @Odilibe
Thanks for your response,but i think i need you to explain that part were you said i should motorize my system. And for the 2.4m dish,do you know the cost of getting it?
what i mean is to motorize your 2.4metre pan dish,that will give you access to more than 18 satellites , beaming to africa/middle east/north africa etc and some nilesat channels movies,news etc....i don't know the current cost of 2.4m pan dish at the moment ,but i am sure it is not more than 26000 naira grin grin

favour112: Hello All,
i learnt some ppl uses more than two to three dishes, can you enlighten me why they do that.please i am desperate to get into this fta stuff cos i am tired of paying for dstv.my location is benin city
thank you all.
buy bigger dish as from 2.4metre pan or above motorize your system once and for all cool cool,i don't think you wanna have more than two to three 90cm dish etc, scattered all over the place without motor ,just to watch african french fta channels...lol

miju: @all does it mean in less than 170 hours, nigcomsat will commence full commercial broadcast?
Who ever said this may have gotten confused information from this website, (www.satellite-calculations.com) the website is for satellite calculations,it only states, 170 hour predicted position and pointing data for NIGCOMSAT 1R... undecided undecided,That does not mean that nigcomsat 1r will commence full broadcast in less than 170 HOURS..

brainy02: At the back of a strong decoder and other decoders alike, u will find this input port for tv antenna, what function does it serve pls, it puzzles me alot
Pidzo: This thing has been puzzling me too. No body has ever mentioned the use of this TV input port. Or is it that this is a terrestial tuner but the software is not enabled for this? huh huh
The port is mainly used for terrestrial antenna input, to view local channels in your area although the satellite receiver doesn't necessarily act as a terrestrial tv tuner,it is same as connecting your tv terrestrial antenna directly to your tv RF input, some other equipment may also be connected to the port dvd,vcr etc,the port allows you to send audio and video frequency/channels from antenna input i.e RF INPUT to RF OUTPUT to TV INPUT. cool cool

[quote author=D.lee]@ Odilibe, you claimmed that DSTV have never been on Middle East/North Africa. I can see that you have forgotten that they once operated on C band and was beaming up to Asia. Even at that time, their biss keys was seen everywhere on the net and as at that time, they were operating with seventeen video channels (around 1992) and later increased the numbers channels on their bouquet. On 28th April 1998, Egyptian Nilesat 101 was lunched and became operational on 31st may 1998. Then in 2008 Nilesat 101 was having 415 channels and 300 of them were free to air and by that time, DSTV started loosing ground at North Africa. On 31st may 2010, they (DSTV) stop operating on C band at 68.5 degrees East. Today, they are only beamming on Sub-sahara milking our people dry. You also claimmed that DSTV have a better bouquet than Skytv, well, that might be for you. grin[/quote]@d.lee, thanks for reminding me that DSTV frequency was once on 68.5east,i can recall as of years back subscribers of DSTV On the C-BAND was having satellite Antennas of 2.2m and above just to get good signal On 68.5east C-BAND, to watch DSTV package,imagine if 6flats on a 2 storey building some where in lagos or onitsha etc subscribes to DSTV Package on the C-BAND, that will look very horrible on their roof top. grin grin,coupled with the expensive C-BAND DISH,you stated that DSTV was on the C-BAND footprint to also target the middle-east/north africa And asia and the DSTV biss key was on the net of-course you are right, but how do you expect the chinese which is also on the asian footprint to watch DSTV ,when they are professionals in hacking paytv, grin grin,but who released the DSTV biss key ask the chinese or pakistan. huhor you think the U.A.E allows foreign investors DTH/paytv to sell their market,look at nilesat 7west DTH PAYTV,they are all made in united arab emirates.

auchs: Mr odilibe how did bb channels beat sky etc when most bb channels are almost all imported. Sky etc have news, documently etc of there own. Lol
There is no paytv providers on satellite , that do not import foreign channels, it seems sky uk have FOX NEWS channel and MGM Movie which is an american channels on their channel list lol. grin

auchs: Mr odilibe, on the issue of bb blocking channels from transmitting free on west africa. That is true somehow. Cnn cannt broadcast free here since it is bbs market driven channel and bb makes sure they service cnn. Upon say multi tv have cnn on half subscription. Today its gone on multitv. Abi multitv no like cnn? Mind you i have cnn on free to air via nile. The arabians no even send if cnn comes free on there region but they are there for market on free transmission. Thanks. When jsc came on west africa I was like this people didnt they know that bb is here. I remembered I told you people that bb will go to board meeting immediately but i thought that jsc force is strong. Maybe they will come back stronger if they would.
@auch, you should be aware by now that CNN is a free to air News channel,it's broadcast is free to view on astra 2a @28.2east southern europe beam, why referring to Nilesat to receive CNN NEWS, While it is free to air on NSS-5 @ 20west east hemi beam, which covers the entire africa ,but why have A.K.A BB haven't blocked CNN from broadcasting on NSS-5 east hemi beam, which covers the entire africa.referring to JSC sp0rts, do BB have jsc sports on their package,they do not have rights over JSC to stop broadcast on 7.3west.

petfun4u: Does it mean Nigcomsat1r was given birth to and to die despite all the millions expended on it. Nigcomsat 1r can drive BB out of Nigeria and West Africa just like Nilesat, Eutelsat 7, Arabsat, Badr-4/5/6, and Abu Dabi drove them out of North Africa. Since then, they have been enjoying the best of satellite programs. What then is our offence in West Africa. Eutelsat 7 @ 7degree West decided to show us mercy and gave us foot print in Nigera for us to enjoy Al Jazera programs and other planned channel, but it is a pity that the same BB has gone fast ahead to block that. They want dry our blood, they refused competition and went to ahead using exclusive right technique to cage other. Selling to us what is free to Air in other countries of the world

Remain blessed all.
I don't think the statement above is correct,how did nilesat,eutelsat7 or arabsat drove DSTV out of North africa or has DSTV ever been on middle-east/north-africa beam ,there is no paytv channel that has ever transmitted on a global footprint and how did dstv block channels from broadcasting on the NWA BEAM,this is not correct. grin ;Dit seems that dstv has better programme to offer than other paytv providers even the showtime/orbit or ADD On nilesat,i have watched sky uk channels comparing it with dstv programme ,the DSTV Channels the beats sky uk channels hands down, no wonder other paytv providers in sub-sahara couldn't beat DSTV,Dont get me wrong i am not into any paytv provider. undecided undecided

I Hacked: The dark side can never win but our problem is now we are lazy and busy too
there is a new way which some peoples use to watch BB without dongle or CCcam account
and it pay a lot of time . it make peoples lazy and al time busy.the time they will use for here on FTA they will use to calculate on how break and put it in .so this things too need a lot of time and i think this is what taking away the gurus
because they would not use internet .is like lotto so they do calculate all the times so they will never have time at all until this thing is off

Pidzo: My TV launches in Zimbabwe

The My TV entertainment and lifestyle pay-TV platform has been awarded a content distribution license by the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe.

Through a decoder, smart card and monthly subscription, Lebanon-based My TV provides channels such as BBC World News, Al Jazeera, kids.co, Trace, Fine Living Network, True Movies, Fox Entertainment, My TV Movies, Setanta and Movie Africa.

In addition, My TV holds rights to show German Bundesliga, Spanish La Liga and UEFA European football matches, according to The Herald.
lol,some pay-tv providers are just ready to rip consumers off,most of this channels are free to air ,of-course bbc news is free on nilesat and aljazeera news is free to air on intelsat 10 and eutelsat 28a and arabsat 5c while true movies is free to air on eutelsat 28a @ 28.2degrees east europe beam,and can be opened using biss key on atlanticbird @12.5west and that includes trace on 12.5 west europe beam ,they even have fox-fx,ait ,nta on their channel list ,i am quite sure fox-fx is free on nilesat 102, while ait and nta is free to on intesat.Having rights to show bundesliga or uefa doesn't make any differents ,for example Dubai sports a channel from U.A.E show bundesliga and this is fta channel,this provider won't make any profit in europe or the middle-east. lipsrsealed

Pidzo: Let's hope NigComSat-1R doesn't go the way of other satellites that gave false hopes to satellite entertainment starved Africans. I am talking of satellites like Newdawn and friends. Poor Africa!
it is obvious that newdawn and Nigcomsat-1R has failed africa in terms of Digital video broadcast, upon all that more satellites are being launched in orbit with sub-sahara and africa beam ,the bottom line is that majority of sub-saharan african countries do not invest on satellite DVB transmission, take a look at( ASTRA 4B A.K.A ,SES 5,SIRIUS 5) Satellite to be launched on 5 june 2012 ,which will be located @5degree east,from source the satellite has two C-BAND BEAMS one with global beam and one with hemispherical coverage which can be operated with upto 24 active C-BAND transponders and a total of 36 active KU-BAND transponders available, below is ses 5/astra 4B coverage map
