@odilibe,
I think you should also give pauxis 0.1db twin lnb a spin and lets see what gives. After my twice pleasant experience with that gem I have a mind to
try it out on my 4m pan and see how it will fare on nilesat. But yours could come in faster as I don't have time on my hand right now.

if u use 11884 V 27500 to track amos, if u dont careful, u will end up on dstv position because that freq & symbol is on dstv to.use joytv as ur starting point, stand at the back of ur joytv & track 2 ur right of joy tv.note is above joy tv to ur right

you did not track Amos 5, u tracked DSTV.

for Amos 5, to get the most out of it, track with 10804 v 3000, get a signal then blindscan.

these decoders are no-name decoders.

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by blexxonmak(m): 7:30am On Oct 12, 2014
@Aydot9. I will advice u to look for SRT 4922A HD decoder which is more user friendly & supported than all what u listed above.

@Aydot9. And NO you cannot input BISS keys in 4940.In fact the decoder hasn't got support whatsoever.Switch to 4922A.

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Nobody: 7:18pm On Oct 12, 2014
I don't why 4922a is rated so high. My mini x4 decoder which uses surplus chipset gives me better signal quality and is much faster than the strong. In fact I gave my strong 4922a decoder to a relation to use.

@odilibe. Examining the results critically, I think Digisat quad lnb will outperform mti ak54xt2n quad lnb.Thats in my humble opinion anyway.What do you think?
