@olofofo,
I hope this Omnia card will not end up like the coco card oooo!  We no enjoy that card at all despite all the noise about it when it first came out. In fact mine is more or less becoming like an ice scrapper now-as Enigma will say! 

we can only wait and see, I personally mentioned back then that the coco card had no future. other cards have stood the test of time though.

Nigeria an unlikely stop on film-festival circuit (Reuters) CULLED FROM movies.yahoo.com

PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria (Hollywood Reporter) - They call it "last-minute dot com."

That's how Chioma Ude describes the unique -- which is a nice way of saying maddening -- way in which Nigerians go about, well, pretty much everything.

As managing director of Jata Logistics, Ude should know since she assisted the organizers of the recent ION International Film Festival with getting the traveling event up and running in Port Harcourt, the capital city of Rivers State situated on the coast of Guinea Bay in Western Africa.

The decision to bring the event to Port Harcourt was the brainchild of Caterina Bortolussi and Soledad Grognett, two enterprising young women from Italy and Argentina -- "oyeebo," or "white girls," as the locals call them -- who fell in love with the country two years ago while visiting on business. As the creative director of the communications outfit Omcomm, Bortolussi is passionate about changing misperceptions about Nigeria, and she found a willing accomplice in Port Harcourt's progressive governor, Chibuike Rotimi Ameachi.

"The governor is a very enlightened man," Bortolussi says. "We wanted to show people that Nigeria is not what they've been reading about, it's not just a place of conflict. So when we were discussing this with Gov. Ameachi, he said, 'Why don't we use the film festival to celebrate peace through art?' At that point, the ION film festival was looking for a new location, so it all just came together."

The timing couldn't be better given the explosion in local production in recent years.

According to the results of a survey conducted by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization, Nigeria is the second-most prolific film culture in the world after India, producing more than 850 films in 2006. While many of these productions are low-budget efforts that would never find international distribution, the ION Fest put a spotlight on polished, well-acted local fare like Jeta Amata's ambitious period drama "Mary Slessor" and Izu Ojukwu's "Nnenda," which was awarded a "special recognition" honor at the closing-night awards gala for its portrait of a young doctor attempting to provide care to poor and abandoned children.

In addition to screening more than 80 films from around the world, 30 of which were Nigerian, the fest featured music events and workshops, including an acting session with American actor-director Giancarlo Esposito, who was here to promote his festival entry "Gospel Hill."

Given the fest's success at providing such a different perspective on this troubled region, ION festival founder Hossein Farmani believes the time is right to establish other film events in Port Harcourt to provide local filmmakers with ongoing support and training.

"The people here are so thirsty for knowledge," he says. "I made an offer to the governor: I told him if he could give us a building with a long, free lease, we will supply all the equipment and training and it would be free to anyone who wants to attend. He was very open to the idea."

For Westerners visiting Port Harcourt, a city of 1.6 million, the fact that the fest ran as smoothly as it did amid the myriad challenges the troubled region offers was nothing short of astonishing. Spend even a short time in Nigeria and the country's glaring lack of infrastructure and organization become abundantly, some might say agonizingly, clear. From securing a visa to booking a flight at the local airport, Westerners are best advised to expect delays since Nigerians are what you might call the anti-Germans when it comes to speed and efficiency.

That said, there is no denying an undiminished spirit of optimism among the residents of Port Harcourt, who will often end even the slightest interaction with a smiling plea to "be blessed" or "enjoy your Sunday." It's a spirit that Bortolussi and company are gamely trying to support and foster.

Such efforts have made Gov. Ameachi something of a local celebrity. Indeed, during the fest's surprisingly well-executed closing-night gala, the governor, wearing a tailored purple suit and black fedora, swept in dramatically and was immediately mobbed by photographers and well-wishers as though he were a movie star. It was a vaguely surreal sight until one remembers that the governor of California, itself a troubled region wrestling with its own formidable infrastructure problems, is an actual movie star.

"At least our guy is getting things done," quipped one proud local.

the only thing that will limit card sharing in this part of the world right now is the non availability of true broadband internet. they are just not available right now,let hope that glo can come to our rescue.

@all,
pls has any one successfully installed a working hh diseqc motor? mine would not track the clark belt after many trial, the pole is dead vertical but the latitude scale on the motor range from 15-65 degrees which is lower than 7 degree latitude where i am installing it. does it mean that it can not work in west Africa? come to my aid pls if u have the practical know-how. thanks

w3a, sirius and nss7 working fine on mine. no luck yet with the rest of the satellites.

@obnelly

try echosat or eurovision or better yet, the longer version of the regular fuji.

@all
euro news FTA on nilesat 12015v

@obnelly

no luck with badr in lag, continue to tweek your jsc or change the lnb.

@jayron

Aljazeera offical card is 25k for 1 year subscription.

@pito/george_d

seems the interference only occurs when there's full NEPA current. there was a drop in the voltage when i tought the amplifier was working well. am still stock with the problem. the search for a solution continues.

olason:
Olofofo, how body Baqka de Salah.

i dey fine sir. abeg, feed me the feed too oooo.

Ngwakwe:
@George
I want to track Intelsat 10C without diaelectric

What freq should I use preferablely the one with highest signal strength?

use 3661 V 14074, it's one of the strongest TP there.

@george_d/Pito

the 10db line amplifier seems to be doing the trick ooooo. Make i still dey look ooooo!!!

George_D:
@olofofo,
How far about your c-band problem? Any headway?

with the polarity reversed like pito adviced, it improved a bit, but still unwatchable most of the time as it breaks seriously. Have not been able to locate the source of the interference, wondering if a line amplifier might help.

@butoneday

if fully downloaded and properly extracted there should be no error messages.

@butoneday

find the file you requested here:

@Olofofo,

Enjoy the birdsssssss

call me for pointers.

@pito

i will give it a try and give you a feedback.

@george

what do you think the device will be, plus what is the TP of your magic world on your pass 10 c band? i think am missing some channels.

fasone:
@olofofo,
thank you very much 4 your gestures when i came to your abode all the way from ibadan to pick up the HH diseqc motor. your accommodating nature and practical lecture/instruction are quite appreciated. though, i am yet to put 2 work, i envisaged that i wont have problem installing it having read a lot about it. i noticed that the marked latitude range is between 15 and 65 but there is a margin down there where about 5 can be obtained making it useful 4 naija. i actually need between 7 to 8 for use in ibadan. once again, thanks, one luv nairaland fta forum.

@fasone
touche. please let me know how it goes so that i can finetune my personal installation since you sound like you have a true grasp on it already. like i mentioned when you came, time has not allowed me to finetune beyond receiving nss 7, w3a and sirius, but am certain that it will work well once i gave it the needed attention. tanks again.

@pito/george_d

from your experience, what kind of interference will make a single transpoder 3684 on PAS 10 c band to turn red anytime there's power supply from NEPA, once there is power outage and the genereator is on everyting starts working well. I have used both supermax and strong LNB but the result is still the same.

@butoneday

badaru says to get in touch with him. holla me for the number.

twinskenny:
gud day house,
how can i distribution my signal connection to all rooms in the house so that each TV point can watch different channels?? please this is urgent, i will appreciate any help. thanks

the best way is to use a 4 way LNB, any other option is very expensive.
