@ olofofo,
thats is where am driving at, because to me its somehow confusing, i know every parts of a motorised setup, but i don't know their names, because am not familiar with them yet.
Tell me with your previous pictures of your 1.8m dish and badaru's own, where the jack is, though i know the actuator, but what about the eurostar box in the house, just tell me linearly how the connections are made. Whats the name of the box where the positions are being stored

the one inside is the positioner. the jack is what actually moves the dish from east to west and back. the positoner controls the jack,

enitan2002:
@ olofofo,
i will like to ask if you personally install your 1.8m motorised, if so, i will like you to share some tips on the forum maybe i will get somethings from them.
Where does the wire running out of the actuator goes to?

The main reason am asking all these questions is that i want to make this 1.8m motorised dish my final year project by next year, so i don't want to leave any stones unturned

enitan. everything comes with a manual of how to install. Piece of cake. the real trick is tracking your satellite in the east and in the west.

the cables from the positioner is connected to the jack outside.

enitan2002:
@ olofofo,
as you know me very well, i don't have a car of my own, boarding a public transport with the package set of the 1.8m, can damage be done on the pan?

no they are well packaged.

enitan2002:
@ olofofo,
is this the set of guys that sell 1.8m dish PAN N7500?

kindly reply

What about that your buddie that just arrived from dubai, any goodies for we satellite addicts?

yes they are one and the same, not much of satellite stuffs from what arrived.

ceejay80s:

@ toxnaija,
bassed on the map on lyngsat concerning paksat1 at 38E, it seems it can be received on a 1.8m and above dish size, can someone like badaru/olofofo try to confirm this theory from lyngsat please, check out the link also

http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/pak1_north.html

Thank you.

tried here, no show.

@all

am getting rid of my old 2.4m eurostar dish. it has some dents and will need some repairs. if you think you can fix it and you have space to put it, then it's yours for 5k. only serious people olofofo@gmail.com.

arsenal1:
@ olofofo
I need a 2.4m dish (pan). any idea about the cost, a reliabe place to get it and how. I am in owerri. 08032786188 is my number. reply ASAP

2.4m is between 19500 to 20k for strong here in lagos. try shop B270 at alaba.

@obnelly

You can try but i do not think that you will successful, i noticed from lyngsat that the footprint just barely touches nigeria. you never know with these things tough.

obnelly:
People in Accra Ghana,i think their is no crime in trying,this longitude and latitude of a thing i don't think is the issue ,if people in lagos can receive Nilesat with 2.4m dish ,why can't you try as well.I still believe its possible in Ghana.If you study your nilesat beam very well it enters Nigeria via North from the left and not from the chad ,i THINK Ghana is inclusive .kindly try it and if it doesnt possible i think you must have gain some experience based on that nilesat of a thing.
Ola i never get that stuff ooooooo,i will keep trying till i get it ,then i should be able to post it.In anyway am still trying.
Hunting for used dish is possible but if those people realise they too can make good use of those dishes i bet it with you they will never let go.
olofofo,what about 1.8m can i get  sportmax and 2m with it .I want to motorise it .How possible is that because i havent handled a motorised assignment before.Need help here.

i am certain about 2m, and not so certain about sportmax.

enitan2002:
@ OLOFOFO,BADARU,              what do u thnk of me installing 2 sets of motorised 1.8m dish one 4 east and d other 4 west this is due to d fact that am avn problem wit my southern view,i hope i make d right decision guys? can a single decoder work for this kind of connection?

won't that be a waste of resources. why don;t you get some elevation and see if it might help. although i must say what you suggest is very possible.

@enitan

it's the noral neck that comes with 1.8m motorized. i did not change anything.

@maddox

great write up as usual, see you are on the etisalat network already. nice touch

@all

anything one with tip on how to refurbish an old 3m fibre dish. the paint is all worn out. any idea of the kind of paint to buy. my neighbour has one he does not use again and am willing to but it off him.

@enitan.

@captainus
I have been spending sometime on the net to convince myself on certain facts, I will communicate any findings to you soon. But, thanks to all the big guys of sat in the house, for their contribution is helping a lot. Thanks to Maddoxoj, Enigma, Gangsta and all. By the way do you receive SABC 1,2,3,4 on your setup?

SABC 4?

obnelly:
olofofo,how far about your nilesat.i just want to know if u have fixed it.kindly reply me.i want to know if you get all the mbcs.

I abandoned the old dish, i am getting a new one soon, but we did one new installation for my friend with badaru last week and all the MBC channels are showing, all of them!

adewest:
salamanda what HEAT r u talking about? Please keep that idea of urs within yourself if u don't know whom to advice. Coming to this forum with some kind of people with emorality is like a mistake to me.Am here initialy to offer a helping hand and this is just more or less a 1+1 sat forum to me.People lacks esperience and they still ready die in silence. Good luck

Oga adewest, if you really have nothing to offer why don't you just quit with all the attacks, it's obvious from all the delays in your post that you can't afford to sign up to the internet regularly. no one here is going to beg you for anything, we have seen your type before.

@enitan

when i hear from him, i will let you know.

I believe that the guy is already in nigeria, he might have brought some, i have not heard from him yet.

alkass is on 30E, ARABSAT i get it with 1.8m

@enitan

i have tried the 26e without success many times. you will probably need a bigger dish for that.

ftalover:
Olofofo,
Thanks for your reply. I have a strong decoder and I think I pick etv, religious tvs, a football tv, please is nss7 better. With 1.8m dish would I have more.

I am about renew my DSTV. I must tell you I want deliverance from DSTV.

Thank you

with 1.8m you will be able to get some level of deliverance, provided that it is motorized. go for 1.8m if you have a little space and you can afford it.

ftalover:
Olofofo,
wish I have the space to keep such a big dish. I would just dump DSTV. Does it means that with 90cm dish one is doom from FTA? If not please whats the option? Am ready to learn from you gurus.

Thank you.

with a 90cm dish, you are actually limited in the no of good free to air stations that you can enjoy. the best for your size of dish it pas 10 ku, where etv is, nss 7 ku as well as eutelsat w3 which is actually the best of the lot in term of programming.

osef:
How do I get a 2.4m dish, I live in kogi state and please what is the cost as at present,including the Fiji lnbf stuff,I will really appreciate info. on the availability as I,m so tired of the pay TV stuff.

2.4m dish is about 20k in the market, strong LNB is 2500 canle is 1000, f connector is about 50 for all you will need, strong 4663x is about 7500. cost of installatio varies.

since you are in Kogi, getting it to Kogi via ABC transport will be betwwen 2500-3500. do the math.

salamander:
Nice suggestion. Do you get Hotbird in Nigeria? I doubt if we can get in Ghana

Am of the opinion that with 6m dishes all satellites are game anywhere in africa.

for guys in ghana, if tracking nilesat will require such Big dishes, then you might as well go for any of the others birds over europe: ASTRA, HOTBIRD, EUROBIRD, HISPASAT. they are way better.

ftalover:
Hi all, what on FTA at Trend TV position now. please help!!!!

NADA!

Mysterlawk:
I live here in Lagos Thanx

Mysterlawk:

oluwolexy:

@maddox

welcome on board, your write up was interesting. am sure we can use another intellect in the house.

@Enigma, F-MArshal,Microgiant and all
Thanks for the contributions, comments and advice regarding the RADIX DT 100 patch issue. though, I have not found any results (it's been difficult), I am here to express my profound gratitude for the response to my call.

@Captainus,
I am just returning from the Strong Office. My mission - I was there to check on 2.4m solid pan dish, but to my dismay, they don't have it. The guys asked for the purpose for my request and i told them I want to track Nilesat. Then  they told me it's not possible in Ghana with 2.4m, b'because with the 3.7m dish they are using, they are not able to receive all the signals. He explained further that Ghana falls in the tertiary part of the footprint so the signal is very week. They also said Nigeria and Benin falls under the secondary part of the footprint (u know the colored rings or circle on the map reflecting coverage area for reception). This, I am yet to find out.
Nevertheless, My hunt for that bird is still hot.

@Enigma, F_Marshal, Enitan, Jujukemist, Pitodenz, Badaru1 and all
What is the direction from which Nilesat signal is emanating or spreading. If Nilesat is in the West to Ghana and Nigeria, then, in my personal opinion the signal should be coming from the west. Infact, I want an answer to this in connection with what I have addressed to Captainus. I can't get that from lyngsat.
I count on you.

definitely coming from the east. ouch! meant west

jujukemist:
Adewest is a thieve, am suprised that respected gurus on this forum are contacting him, for what? what does he has to offer that we can not get in house? Enigma and General Marshal are abroad,so what do we need that they cannot import for us/
If people like adewest were to control knowledge traffic, then the world would still be at the 18th century.
Am sure he would be smiling to himself on how he is taking some of us on a good ride.
i thot this forum has rules we created ourselves? I thot we had a proactive moderator? What a terrible distraction is adewest
To hell with you adewest, I have over 350 FTA channels, 3 satellite dish,1 paytv card, softcams hardcams etc. What the hell can you give me.bumcum I de vex

@jujukemist

bros u dey vex oooo. i advise anyone in the house to do what i do with guys like adewest , just totally ingore them.

@all

a friend of mine ask what he should bring from duabi on holiday that might sell, i suggested some FTA equipmets

humax decoders with card sharing facilty and PVR
c and KU LNBF
motorization kits for 60-90cm dishes.

anyone with interest should let me know.

toxnaija:
Adewest,
you must be a joker! How dare you put keys that had been off for almost two months on the thread.Besides,don't you realise that it is illegal to put keys on the thread?Please quickly remove them.I can't stop laughing over your various pranks here.Moderator,please take prompt action.

olofofo.
body don fine now ooo.the zain thing did not work me.

Nilesat gurus/badaru1/mide2008/enigma,
the 0.2db shop lnb was installed at the weekend but it did not give me improved signal.So,I had to return the fuji lnb which gives me maximum signal of up to 80% on channels like Showtoday.What could be wrong with the shop and gsat.I sawed off the edge and did all the same things I did for fuji,yet they bring low signals while fuji shoots up as soon as it is installed.

great to hear you are finally in good health, in my opinion, Fuji still remains one of the best LNB in the market.

@enitan.

the thing no gree work oooo, same issue with registering on the network.
