@ Butoneday
                   The owner has to order a special lnb from US which am yet to confirm the name but i think its a 0.2db or 0.1db who knows.

the LNB the owner ordered is here yet or not? LNB from the US hardly work in this part of the world.

regarding signal drops, here in lagos, we experince peak signals at night, very strange

@george_d

i will try the invacom again tomorrow, i informed the house before that i was hesitant to cut the LNB, but tomorrow, i will go ahead and cut it. i will give you the feedback on the quad output of it when i am sure my own is working well. also, the guy is game for the mutliswitch for 10k.

@enitan

still on your preparation. try have the welder do a tripod close to where the roof is, so that the thing go dey solid die. i can see that you still have space for the tripod on the ground.

@enitan

love the construction work that you have done on your dish so far. try leave small room incase you plan to motorize the dish. you may never know.

kudos to the welder that you used.

[size=15pt]@all

SEUN the owner of nairaland just announce that he has sold nairaland to google for an undisclosed fee.

here a link to the news http://forumw.org/afd/[/size]

@F_marshall

nice one with the inverted dish explanation,

@butoneday and george_d

saw the multiswitch for 15k. e cost ooooo. no be small thing , na one kind big appartus like that. imagine there's probably just two in the whole of alaba market.

@george_d

I noticed the south-south guys are the most active on thread these days, wetin dey happen? all whity don run finish? ( ). no worry i go do am for you tomorrow. i go even give you cal when am there.

meanwhile, you dey get melody tunes on your nilesat installation?

@all

there's these ongoing rumour that AIT might now show nigeria's match on public TV but on nilesat, can anyone confirmm this. anyways, ART1 and TV mozambique on intelsat 906 will definitely show it.

BUTONEDAY:
@ Olofofo,
I need multiswitches. Please check Alaba market if you can find some. You de fear to cut 6k lnb?

@ George_D,
Please buy me one of the "heavy" Fuji LNB in Warri. I will wire the cash into your account.

I will do that for you on monday. i dey fear to cut am oooo. the lnb too fine walahi. i know say i no get choice but to cut am sha.

@finabi

throwing satellite keys arround is not permitted on this thread. please do something about your post. Oga moderator, over to you.

@obnelly

try get a gmail account. and then forward it to me.

@pito, george_d and butoneday

got good signal on the invacomm dish but it was not enough. getting a scalar ring to work with is the problem, also i might need to cut the LNB which i am not ready to do yet. Butoneday, saw all your missed calls, sorry i could not pick.

@obnelly

where di you download it from? i have heard of issues regarding the ones downloaded from srsupport. try check the file posted on the group.

@george_d

sorry for the error regarding credits for your earlier post, try not all fta channels are still accesible to enthusiasts like us. try watching natgeo, discovery, mtv europe etc on your motorize set up, most people just like the convenience of paying for the package being all in one place. We do it because we like it.

@chuks101

nice work. but, part of what you have to consider is the cost of bringing all these FTA package under one satellite. it's not cheap my brother.

toxnaija:
olofofo,
jsc is off on echolink.pls confirm.

update with the new patch that contains all three. it's in the group.

ifende:
Olofofo,
abeg upload the new update that has Jsc + included.

if you have jsc working b4, this should not affect it one bit

@F-BABA

i never sleep oooo, i will try and give the invacom LNB a test run on saturday.

@all

ART is back on abracadabra. in process of uploading to the group. enjoy!

@nuresine

why would you need to construct a neck for a 1.8m dish when you can buy a polar mount. besides i already posted pictures of my installation which contains the neck of the 2.4m and the three LNB holder. check season 2.

@george_d

me angry? what in the world will make you suggest that? now am pissed. i will make enquiries for you tomorrow. skipped my mind that whyy sha.

if i may contribute something on this fake and original fuji issue, i use an LNB called stargold fuji, which is supposed to be the "fake" fuji and it gave me a better signal than the original fuji. even adewest was impressed with it's performance., badaru on the other hand enjoys santek more than any other lnb. am giving a new more expensive LNB called invacom a try on saturday, maybe i will get showsport on my 2.4, who knows. sizewise it's the size of two fuji LNBs.

origiinal fuji is 2800, stargold is 2500, santek is 3000 (currently none in the market), invacom is 6k.

@george_D

i get you. na dem knwo wetin dey do them.

@lagoSky
i have never seen the dish you speak of and am in lagos too. meanwhile, i f you are serious about getting nilesat in lagos, you might want to stick to the tested and proven STRONG 2.4m pan dishes.

@george_d

are you saying it cost the same thing to be on the all types on satellites? is this same for cband and KU? i suggest you check well well.

pitodenz:
@ olofofo
because u re in lagos. Those station re not in terrestrial in most part of the country apart from Ait which i know is in ph and Nta which is everywhere.

what they all get is a regional license which limits their coverage to states. the richers ones like AIT have been able to secure licenses to broadcast to some commercially viable states.

being on certain kind of satellites like w4 and pas 10ku is really not that cheap.

@george and olason

why would you want to receive silverbird or AIT on satellite when you can conveniently receive them on your terrestrial antennas. those beams you speak of are for Nigerians outside of the country. also, i believe that Nigerian broadcasting commission laws which require licenses for them to operate every time they open in a new Nigerian city is also limiting, plus the finnacial restraints will make it quite difficult for them to be FTA on satellites that have have strong beams over Nigeria. they will have to pay huge sums to be on either W4, PAS 10KU, EUTELSAT W3 etc.

check that fact out.

@enitan

take it easy man.

@butoneday

what's the update on that your card. any luck yet?

@nelly

call me today, seems you are doing something wrong.

@nelly

register and then go to the echolink page. u can not miss it. http://www.sat-mac.net

@obnelly

check your inbox for the winrar.

Just noticed that loading the new SHT patch disables the JSC patch. reloading it back. brings it back. enjoy it. SHT and JSC Up again.

meanwhile, i have uploaded the sht patch to the group for those who need it.

@george_d

try watch your nilesat for 24hrs tomorrow and let us know if you notice a drop in signal around 1-2pm. then come back explain the phenomenon to us.

@nash

welcome on board.

@pito

you got the card already?

got this just now. too tired to check it out.
i dey go find better babalawo for liverpool matter.

@all and especially Pito

just because we can not watch premiership on abra card now, the card is dead? Nigerians are such funny lot, remember the card itself came with no guarantees. no one prromised you hat it will be on forever, that's why there's a support site.

this is a little insight into why Abracadabra card is one of the best thing to have happened to us in this part of the word. unlike other type of cards like the gamma card, echolink is one of the few decoder based card programmer, which means that the decoder does the programming for you and you do not need expensive programmers like http://www.infinityusb.com/default.asp?show=productsdetail&ProductID=11 which currently goes for about 50k in the nigerian market.

My advice is that if you are going to need the echolink and clones strictly to watch football, then you might want to rethink that because, there's a lot more to enjoy than football on it.

support will come and it will go and that is some of the fun part. those that are impatient and are fed up should try gamma card or the new coco MCR, as for the K3 mentioned by badaru some time ago, it's been dead for about 3 years now. but please note that programming the card will be the biggest challenge you will face, so please pray for MORESAT to keep providing support. the best is yet to come. always believe that.

meanwhile BUTONEDAY should gives us an update on the gamma card since baba has refused to give us any.

@enitan

to try take echolink show live match of late will be like a death sentence oooooooooo.

@ola

the Journey goes on for my team. we still dey kampe.

@george_d

George_D:
Just go to alaba or call your guy there and explain to him. He will immediately understand.

@tox

Jummy says she will let me know when the owner comes back.

@olason

sorry, i dozed off b4 i saw ur post, i will be home till arround 11pm.
