So the 2.4meter dish was finally fixed. It's a long video so I had to divide it to 3 parts. This is the part 1. Know how to set up a bigger dish step by step .

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Dlee1(m):
The Federal Government has announced plans to launch two new communication satellites, NigComSat-2A and NigComSat-2B, as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s digital transformation, national security, and economic growth.

The move, spearheaded by the Nigerian Communications Satellite Limited (NigComSat Ltd), will replace NigComSat-1R, which has been operational since 2011 and is now expected to remain active until January 2028 following a lifespan extension.

Speaking at a one-day media training in Abuja, Engr. Tope Yosoof said the two High-Throughput Satellites (HTS) will deliver expanded coverage across West, Central, South, and parts of East Africa.

With 77 transponders on multiple bands, the satellites will support broadband connectivity, national security, education, media, agriculture, offshore operations, and smart city applications.

Yosoof explained that the project will run on a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, with a Request for Proposal (RFP) already issued to attract global manufacturers and service providers.

Managing Director/CEO of NigComSat Ltd, Mrs. Jane Nkechi Egerton-Idehen, emphasized the role of the media in shaping public understanding of space technology and Nigeria’s digital ambitions.

“Our digital transformation depends not just on engineers and policymakers, but also on how the media tells our national tech stories,” she said.

President of the Nigeria Information Technology Reporters’ Association (NITRA), Blessing Olaifa, described the training as a “game-changer” and urged for greater budgetary support to enhance NigComSat’s media engagement.

With NigComSat-2A and 2B, Nigeria aims to reposition itself as a leading space-faring nation in Africa, while boosting ICT access, creating jobs, and driving inclusive growth.

Well said. However, you failed to mention the fact that Seun has refused to change with the times. NL has fallen far behind in terms of innovation and most peeps simply moved on after waiting for ages to see the changes reflected on the site which hasn't been forthcoming.
As we all know, the only constant thing in life is change and if you refuse to move with the times, you risk being left behind.
For instance, in this age of social media and smart phones, what is Seun waiting for before launching an app to make for better access to the site?
Is it rocket science? Even if he can't write codes, he's rich enough to commission others to do it for him. But I guess he's very much comfortable with how things are presently, so why bother?

Dlee1:
Yeah. Whatsapp group chat and Telegram have really affected this thread. In the past, we use to rub mind here on a lot of issues but not anymore. Update on hunting of fringe satellite is no longer discussed.

By the way, I hunted badr and Es' hail 1&2 on 26 degrees east this past weekend but I could get bein sport and other channels on Es' hail 1&2. It was flashing but other fta channels on badr 7 and 8 was tracked down with 2.4m offset fiber dish (Vsat dish). Location is Anambra. Couldn't lay my hands on a better LNBFs. Maybe I would have gotten that Es' hail satellites.

In the past, signal strength on 26 degrees east is stronger and better than signal strength on 7 degrees west. Probably because of a lot of bein sports channels on 26 degrees east maybe they decided to reduced the signal strength on 26 degrees east.

Salute to all our fellow comrades. Those were the days.

The search for FTA on these streets galvanised a whole lot of us then. Even from other African countries like South Africa, Ghana, etc. Some of whom i still communicate with on WhatsApp.

It was great while it lasted.

Some of these informations and knowledge put down on these threads were lost when Nairaland was hacked and it was discovered that seun didn't backup up the site.

But it gives me a good feeling to see my mention and be drawn back to here.

We've done our part and our best in our time. It is now left for the current guys to carry on and keep the fire burning.

Who would have thought that I would now be stuck with my Airtel Android Smart box paired with 90cm locked on 7⁰W for MBC for movies. embarassed embarassed cry cry

It is well grin grin grin

Warm regards.
