trek4000:
Pidzo what type of decorder and size of dish do you use?And what satellites are you monitoring.

I am seriously suffering from ASAS bro. I have one 65cm dish permanently locked at Intelsat 7/10 ku, one 80cm currently on Sirius 4 ku (may be moved any time), one 90cm dish on Eutelsat w3a (permanently there), one 1.8m prime focus currently on w3c ku, one 1.8m prime focus which moments ago was on Arabsat 5a but now on Atlantic Bird 3 C. Satellites that I frequently monitor are Apstar 2r, Thaicom 5, Paksat 1r, Arabsat 5c, Intelsat 10-02, Eutelsat w4/7, Nss 12, among others. I am using Strong SRT 4930 HD and I am about to launch an attack on Atlantic Bird 7. And you bro?

etcwest:
@ GADATOR , i tried the posted it and after blind scan it gave me MGM and AFRO music, which are not showing ,am i on the the wrong bird or something?

Obviously I am not Gadotor but I was just wondering if you are hunting for w3c or something else coz with MGM and Afro MUsic thats W2a at 10 deg East. If you are then looking for W3c you should continue raising the dish to get to 16 degrees. Apologies if I am poking my nose in other peoples business!  
@Ilish
Ok bro. You will inform us the fruits of your labour when time is ripe!

gadotor:
Does in southern africa may get more channels then does at west,so better your tracking to get all southern beams too.thank you

I dont know how many channels you brothers in West Africa are getting on this sat. Here in Southern Africa I have managed to get about 25 FTA channels. I don't know if anybody in this part of Africa is getting more than these (may be Etcwest will furnish us with more info when he shoots down this bird!) Ilish, have you tried this w3c? 

etcwest:
thanx man realy appriciate. will 90cm dish do?

Yes 90cm will do if you use a good lnb (not the scarce ones used for fringe reception but the usual ones). The tps that give problem are the ones that we need, the one having Setanta, RDV, etc. it seems they have a weaker signal.

etcwest:
@pidzo, have you nailed w3c? what is the distance from w3a am in zambia. anything new at the moment?

Yes, I am locked to W3c bro. W3a is at 7deg east while W3c is at 16 deg E. From W3a you need to raise your dish a bit ( a few inches) to the right. So far there is nothing new from the original channels that have been there. I am anticipating some changes shortly!

ESTJOZI:
@PIDZO do you see this comming to Malawi?

Bro, I don't see this coming here. I even doubt if this will materialise in South Africa itself. Reports indicate that the service providers are challenging this in court.

curiousman66:
Happy new year to all the men and women in this house, Pls the holiday is over, fill us with updates, seems this room has been quiet for a very long time.

Looks like there is very little activity on this satellite of late.

Are the prophecies meant to make us fill in the dots?

The National Consumer Commission now wants to force South Africa's pay TV companies to sell their TV channels to you separately

DStv, TopTV ordered to change contracts


The National Consumer Commission has told DStv’s operator MultiChoice and TopTV’s operator On Digital Media to amend their current contracts with subscribers which the commission says do not apply with South Africa’s new Consumer Protection Act.

In a move that could have serious repercussions for South Africa’s pay TV industry, The National Consumer Commission also wants both South African pay TV operators to break down the channels in its bouquets and give subscribers the choice of a la carte channel subscriptions.

The Commission has issued compliance notices to MultiChoice and ODM.

The National Consumer Commission wants MultiChoice and ODM to allow subscribers to pay for the specific TV channels they want, and want the DStv and TopTV channel selection to be grouped into genres.

Hardunnii:
Man u vs blackburn now on supersport select

I thought the Subject for this thread reads: FTA Live Football Matches Announcement Thread. I don't think Supersport is FTA. Please lets concentrate on FTA live matches and not otherwise.

ESTJOZI:
@PIDOZO what u you should know is that WHITE MAN FROM WEST (British and Americans are evils)

@Estjozi
I totally agree with you. I was against this idea that Whiteman is evil but slowly I agree that Whiteman who is English speaking in more evil. French white have plenty of free French channels but not these Brits and company, not even 1. Why not give us their free to view channels?

miju:
I don't know why only the french and arab speaking nations enjoy the best of fta. why are our so called "colonial master" stingy to extend their fta on astra 2b and freeview coverage to english speaking countries in africa just like the arabs are doing. why must i install 5meter dish to enjoy what the arab speaking nations install 90cm to enjoy. hmmm,

@Miju
You are my idol, respect to you SIR! I have also been asking myself the very same question. Why is it that we have plenty of  good FREE French channels, Portuguese, or Arabic and not English? The silly Brits provide free to view channels ONLY to their peers and not the poor Africans they colonised and robbed years ago. I now see why people hate the west. Why can't they extend their FTA coverage to ENGLISH speaking African countries? They provide their FREE channels to D**V so that we should only access these channels on subscription, my poor Africa! Britain, I HATE YOU! You taught us your English but you don't want us to enjoy your free gifts. You Arabs, come and give us your Free Gifts and lets see what happens next. We have already started enjoying your programming on Arabsat 5a and 5c and we are surely waiting for more. We hate these stingy Brits!!! 

gadotor:
W3c will be going scramble soon,l hope it will be free for our franch speaking countries but, all to soon,it had tobe preparing for paytv.All the same we,re watching out for a new satellite soon and new channels on the once we had.watchout, ,thank you

Looks like it will be scrambled for all of us very soon when they reach their target of 27 African channels and 27 European channels, making a total of 54 channels. Surely this is not meant to be an FTA bouquet. Sad.

mjay:
Even if it is FTA? Tell me something I don't know.

@Mjay
Wow this guy is indeed funny. I didn't see the funny side of it, he says watching TV without subscription is illegal. So it means we should pay for any channel we watch, no free channel.

DARELESTIN:
Merry Xmass to everyone in d house. My madagasy (tvm) refuse to hit green. Any solution

It looks like TV Malagasy on w3a is gone bro.

We Christians respect you Moslems when ever you celebrate Eid el (whatever you call it) and why can't you give us respect when celebrating Christmas? You cheat us that Islam means Peace! Really? We are watching you.

CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHICH BANK CURRENT ACCOUNT IS GOOD WITH LESS CHARGES


caryourdayakins@gmail.com

What has this got to do with "Satellite TV Technology'?

@All
Those with SRT 4930 HD, new software update SRT4930_ALL_122p_20111209.zip dated 09-12-2011 is out. Get it at http://crosat.us/upload/index.php?order=rating&direction=1&directory=Strong%20Receivers/Strong%20WIZKID%20Files/Strong%204%20Middle%20East&offset=45

Wellydra:
what is the dish size for tracking the k24.and ntv channels on intelsat 7/10c in southern africa and what is the frequency for tracking

@Wellydra
The best dish size to give you C band reception on Intel7/10 in SADC (not political) is 1.8m (the usual size we get from tech shops in town) and the best tracking frequency is 4064 H 19850 or 3739 H 26590 or 3802 H 10000 or 4185 H 20000. After you lock on this sat you will need to tweak the LNB to optimize reception and get weaker transponders.

Hollabck86:
Only Mbc 1 and 2,

Isn't MBC 1 and 2 on Eutelsat W3A and not Sirius 4?

@All
Is this the Invacom Universal Quad LNB 0.3dB C120 Flange you brothers are recommending?

George_D:
@Pidzo,
Go with odilibe's advice. I couldn't have explained it better myself.

The invacom quad 0.3dB lnbf is a better alternative.

Thanks for the info. I will come back if at all I need advice from you dear brothers regarding this fringe reception.

Hollabck86:
No i only get Tv zimbo, i dont even get mbc there anymore, i get mbc on sirius 4 instead,
i need more fta channels that matches ,
thx

What other channels do you get on Sirius 4?

odilibe:
I have never read much review from invacom single flange c120 lnb, from other uk forums,they say the invacom quad C12O Lnb performs better than the single c120, while the inverto white tech sflange c120 is a cheap alternative to invacom quad, while the inverto black ultra quad 0.2dB lnb outperforms the invacom quad 0.3dB lnbf . the conclusion is that if you are looking for single flange C120 LNB go for inverto white tech c120 lnb or the invacom quad c120,i got the inverto red quad c120 lnb since i needed 4 outputs i never read much review from inverto c120 quad anyways it is yet to be tested,. see review from other uk forums.                    www.astra2d.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=lnb&action=display&thread=1545

@ Odilibe
Performance wise, what's the difference between this Inverto White tech C120 LNB and Inverto White Tech Twin C120 LNB?

Hollabck86:
Pls house is Tv malagasy still on 7E, I lost it ,,,hw do I get it back

Are you getting Record Mozambique and other channels on Eutelsat W3a? TV Malagasy is still on this satellite.

Those on C band on this satellite there is TBC 1, NTV (Kenya), KTN, K24 and KBC Channel 1 which were added a week ago.   
Those on KU band (South Africa beam) there is MBC (Mbuyekezo Boxing Channel) on 11170 v 26651

It has been said to get fringe satellites we should use 'good' 0.2 or 0.1db LNBs. I need advice on Invacom C120 Single LNB which has a noise figure of 0.3db but in other websites it is claimed to be good for weak signals. I want to track AB 7, will it do the job?

Ilish:
Bro,the original 4930 HD has no RJ45 connector.Its probably a fake copy

That's what I also know, only if they have re-designed the 4930 to have a built in RJ45 connector.

Olutozn54:
Pls boss.wat grts tv nd eritaria tv frequnc nd position

GRTS is on Atlantic Bird 3 at 5 degrees West, frequency 4124 L 3572 and for Eritrea TV its on Arabsat 5a on 30.5 degrees east (check Lyngsat for more details)

Lintino:
plz house which FTA channels can I get on strong 4930 decoder

Check previous posts. Your 4930 is mpeg 4 and HD so depending on your location and dish size you will enjoy it, there are plenty of FTA channels. Check Flysat and Lyngsat to verify what you want (yes, a bit of research on your part )
