petfun4u: The biggest of my dish is 1m=100cm

What I posted my 7degree West Nilesat I am using 1m, my 7degree East(Go Africa) I am using 90cm, while others, I am using 1m dish as 4 to 1 dish where I have 16degree East, 28.3degree East(Joy TV), W4/W7-36degree East and 4.8degree East(Sirius). And finally, I have 60 cm for MyTv 68.5degree East. Though I am presently working towards getting 1.8m offset dish now.

Where is my posting?

If it is deleted, then it is as good as suspending my subscription from this forum. Where are we going again? Mr. moderator, you have absolutely show that you are one of those who hate the truth in this forum. No freedom of expression. There are BB cabals in this forum who hate the truth. I spoke the truth and my posting was deleted because that was a complete truth. It will be a very big shame if my posting is not returned for people to read and judge me by their own opinion. Where is FOI here in the forum. I did not talk about descrambling any channels or post any key but, spoke on FTA issues. Because I gave a complete reply to the response of one of the posting, and you deleted my post.

We all like it or not, the truth shall prevail here and in Nigeria. Enough of the cheating.

I forgot earlier to say this. I was trying to blind scan my decoder yesterday on Nilesat, another TP pop up but the signal was not stable. The TP is 11555V but I did not really check the other one. Please, forgive me all. But if you have your decoder tuned to Nilesat, blind scan now and confirm what I am saying.

kinmen2004: sorry o miju u go wait tire, d same cabal that are responsible for bad aircraft plying our airways are also responsible for this. I am quite sure BB is the devil behind this too. Lots of money must have changed hands , trust me ,nigcomsat is not gonna come alive on your screen ,not now but maybe later.
A very big shame to our leaders and Nigeria. How can a foreign company be controlling our happiness and dictating to us what we should do and not to do. Corruption has blindfolded our leader to see the future for this and upcoming generation. With carelessness and HiTV went dead. Let them give us one and reliable company that belong to Nigeria. MyTv, DSTV, MTN, Zain, Etisalat, MultiLinks, Cana Sat, Multi TV, Nile sat, and lots of other all belong to another country. We are carried away by what belong to other and they succeeded in bribing their way in to stop our own from functioning. In almost everything in the satellite world, Nigeria is far at the back.

South Africa is very far in the fore front in satellite programs. When are we going to start breathing well and enjoy all we should be enjoying. The same BB I will say represent oppression in Nigeria. 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.

When are we going to be free, and start realising our role as the giant of Africa. But, talking about satellite technology and other IT tech, we are still the dwarf of Africa, we are very far behind. This is a very big challenge to our leaders and Nigcomsat1r. Nigcomsat1r can as well put up good strategy, give Nigerian good TV programs and make big revenue to boost our economy. Can anyone tell me which of the following: NTA, AIT, SilverBird and some other Nigerian local channels that is free on satellite transmitting to Nigeria, BB. But when you check other satellite where you can get our local channels, they are all free to Air. What have we done in Nigeria and West Africa as a whole?

Ameboperoo: u need 2 change an ic inside it. the one with heat sink on it.
You don't need to change any ic, it has happened to me before. Disconnect the cable from the decoder, turn it off and on to see if the same message appear. If it booth normally, then you need to work on your cable. Don't allow the copper wire to touch the tread wire, that is all.

Al Jazeera Expands Audience Over Africa with Eutelsat's 7° West satellite, EUTELSAT 7 West A

DUBAI, UAE and PARIS, March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Al Jazeera is further consolidating its longstanding relationship with Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) with a new contract for capacity on the EUTELSAT 7 West A satellite (ex. ATLANTIC BIRD 7) located at 7° West. The announcement was made today at Cabsat Dubai.
Al Jazeera has chosen the new service area on EUTELSAT 7 West A that enables the media corporation to extend coverage across North West Africa to Morocco and as far as Nigeria. Broadcasts have already begun, with nine channels operational, including the flagship Al Jazeera news channels in Arabic and English, as well as documentary, children's and sports channels.

In service since October 2011, the EUTELSAT 7 West A satellite has strengthened Eutelsat's commercial response to broadcasters operating across the Middle East and North Africa. The satellite's widebeam delivers unmatched performance and coverage into over 30 million homes, while the new North-West Africa footprint opens the opportunity for channels to further consolidate their reach.

7° West, the fastest-growing video neighbourhood: TV channels up by 35% in 2011
The 7° West neighbourhood assembles the largest community of satellite TV channels in the Middle East and North Africa. Channels grew by 35% in 2011, reflecting the dynamic of free-to-air and pay-TV, which represent 80% and 20% of the 822 Arab and international channels broadcast by the five satellites operated at 7° West by Eutelsat and Nilesat.


Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL, ISIN code: FR0010221234) is the holding company of Eutelsat S.A.. With capacity commercialised on 28 satellites that provide coverage over the entire European continent, as well as the Middle East, Africa, India and significant parts of Asia and the Americas, Eutelsat is one of the world's three leading satellite operators in terms of revenues. As of 31 December 2011, Eutelsat's satellites were broadcasting more than 4,000 television channels. They also serve a wide range of fixed and mobile telecommunications services, TV contribution markets, corporate networks, and broadband markets for Internet Service Providers and for transport, maritime and in-flight markets. Eutelsat's broadband subsidiary, Skylogic, markets and operates access to high speed internet services through teleports in France and Italy that serve enterprises, local communities, government agencies and aid organisations in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas. Headquartered in Paris, Eutelsat and its subsidiaries employ just over 700 commercial, technical and operational professionals from 30 countries.

Sorry to say this, those who always use abusive word in the forum are destroying the purpose of this forum. I am of the opinion that they are very far from been mature. A polite answer drives away anger and true brotherly love will never pick offence against anyone. But it is becoming more embarrassing reading from any of the honourable member of this forum raking insult and abuse on others.

No man is an island, we learn from one another everyday. And when you considered yourself better than the others, then you are getting it wrong. What ever you know today is a privilege, it does not make you better that anyone. You can only get better when you learn how to appreciate one another.

Please, let everyone be careful on what you say today. I have been reading other International Satellite forum, I have never come across any form of negative reading, then, why is NAIRALAND FORUM be turned into a battle ground.If you have any good information but feel you don't want to share, you own your opinion, keep the information to yourself, but do not abuse anyone. What you think you know, there are some who knows it even better.

I want to finally say, I see every member of this forum as intelligent, mature, competent, loving, caring serious and focus people who could help one another achieve results in our attempts to find solutions to the lingering Free to Air satellite issues. LET EVERY FORM OF INSULTS AND ABUSE CEASE FROM TODAY. God bless you all as we return back to the original aims and objectives of this forum.

My good people, this morning when on my way to work, I was listening to COOL FM news of 6:45am. I heard that our Nigerian Satellite Nigcommsat1r passed all the tests and will commence service immediately. The satellite will therefore be officially handed over to the president of Nigeria, President GoodLuck Jonathan today before the service commences.

Let us wait and see.

My suggestion to them was;
1. This satellite is able to earn the FG revenue of over a trillion naira if fully utilised if the government is sincere.
2. They should introduce programs that will attract the people of Nigeria
3. Allow all the local stations in Nigeria be given affordable subscription access to the satellite as applicable in other Developed countries in the World.
4. Welcome contract from MBC group to transmit on Nigcommsat to provide stiff competition for DSTV so as to force the monthly charges down
5. Introduce sport channel like Nigsport 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 that will accommodate different types of sports as seen in AL Jazera, Supersport and Sky Sport etc. Let them bid for La Liga, Serial A, Premiership as gradual process and make them available to Nigerian at an affordable price far lower to that of DSTV.

Nile sat was lunched to chase DSTV out of the Middle East and Northern Africa because of DSTV's Monopolistic way of doing business (exclusive right so called).
Nigcommsat should be given power and well equipped to give DSTV run for their money. This will go a very long way in creating jobs opportunity for Nigerians and enable everyone in both the Rural and Urban Area to have complete access to information in Nigeria, hence reduce Rural-Urban migration drastically.

There are other benefit I believe this satellite will bring. But, let us wait and see if the FG will use this as an avenue to develop Nigeria or will succumb to DSTV game and exploitation.

Remain blessed.

D.lee:
I have been watching how the drama and controversy unfolding in the house recently. I remembered on page 12 when I Hacked was asking Gadator that he hit green on 7'W with his 90cm dish and that the trasponder is empty which I asked him if he is sure of what he was saying. That we in Nigeria cannot hit green on that tp doesn't mean that that tp doesn't exist on 7'W but since it is recievable in his area,well,thats good for him.That tp could be data tp from Ghana or its environ on nilesat but it is recievable in his area. He tried to convince the house but a lot of people disbelieved and mocked him and now they want him to post a diagram of his renovated inline amplifier,how do you think it is possible.At the beginning,there was no word of encouragement to him but when people saw the performance of his inline amplifier,the word of praise started rainning on him and this had been the problem of Africa from growing because they refuse to explore. We always want a shortcut at another person's expense.                                          @ I Hacked, don't let that finding remain only with you but try and pass it to other people just the way the white men do.
My brother you are right. Sometimes ago, I tracked Nilesat with 1m dish till today I am still watching 42 stabled channels from 11938V27500, 12130V27500, 12207V27500 and 12284V27500. Everyday of my life I kept experimenting from one LNB to another because I promised to furnise the entire forum with my final finding. But someone said I was no where to be found when they asked me for the proof.

I remembered vividly, I posted the pictures of the TPs and the LNB I used to achieved that (Premium Super HD). What proff is more than that. If it is possible to load video clip I will be very happy to do that. I did not run away.

I want to announce to all that, I tracked Nilesat with 1m dish in Bwari, Abuja. If you ave any friend in Abuja who wish to see it, I will be very please to show them. And the good news now is that, I succeeded yesterday in adding additional 4 TPs by the grace of the Almighty God in one of my experiment with Premiun HD Gold LNB I just bought. I promise to post new pictures that will convince everybody that I am not lying. Details of the channels I got so far are;

1. 11765H27500 (14 channels and all free including FOX MOVIES, BBC World News)
2. 11881H27500 (17 channelss but all scrambled except 2)
3. 11938V27500 (14 channels including all MBC channels, all free)
4. 12034H27500 (15 channels but only 4 are free)
5. 12053V27500 (16 channels and all, free)
6. 12130V27500 (13 channels and all free)
7. 12207V27500 (12 channels and all are free)
8. 12284V27500 (7 JSC channels, 3 are free while JSC +1, +2, +3 and +4 are scrambled)

I will continue with my research until I reach the satisfied conclusion before given my recommendation.

Once again, I did not hide myself nor run away. As a matter of fact I watch 24hrs film yesterday on MBC Action in the afternoon, proof me wrong.

Remain blessed.

W3C will replace the EUROBIRD™ 16, W2M and SESAT 1 satellites at 16° East. Through its configuration of 56 transponders, (53 Ku and three Ka), it will address markets for broadcasting and telecom/data services via four footprints:

A high-power footprint optimised for Direct-to-Home broadcasting in Central Europe will anchor the 16° East neighbourhood as a point of reference for satellite TV in the region, serving over 11 million households.

High-power coverage over Indian Ocean islands will support the expansion of pay-TV and accelerate digital switchover in Mauritius and Reunion Island.

A wide footprint serving Europe, North Africa and the Middle East will serve markets for data networks and newsgathering.

A new footprint for 16° East, with Ku coverage stretching from Senegal to Madagascar and enabling connectivity with Europe in Ka-band, will respond to high-growth applications that include GSM backhaul and Internet access for enterprises and public agencies.

@all

@petfun4u
How are you and your research on Nilesat with 1 metre dish?
Hope u are keeping the fire burning.
Thanks friend, I am 100% still on it, my effort is geared toward increasing the signal and the type of LNB that can effective boost the signal before I post my recommendation. I actually found one new LNB yesterday, I want to purchase it, just like PREMIUM HD LNB but not PREMIUM. That LNB is HDas well but totally new in our market here in Abuja. Update very soon. I also want to let everyone know that I have commenced the trial on 90cm dish, detail of outcome coming soon. Remain blessed.
