why not make 5/7e primary and 16e as secondary by attaching it above and a little to the left while facing the dish.

I everyone, greetings from Zambia, my name is Brian a follower of nairaland forum . I must say you guys are the most intelligent people I have ever seen, like seriously. like I stated earlier, am a big fun of nairaland forum and I finally decided to join you. Hopefully am welcome,
I have been following this topic for some time now and I got interested, at first I thought I knew everything about dish installation but after reading each and every comment around here I reduced my level to Zero. In Zambia we have been subjected to exorbitant dstv prices just to watch a single soccer match, so with your knowledge I would like to know how to install a dish so I can get to watch free sports and movies on fta. Thanks for taking time to read, your response will be highly appreciated. Forgive my bad grammar

I think you can still have PTV from your end . with 1.8mtr dish and some other sats like DAT.

What do you mean by day dreaming? Why couldn't you just say my dish or my decoder won't be able to nail the channel. If that is the case what size of the dish and a decoder do I need? Regards

Thank you very much Rextab for this information, I will try get a bigger dish on Monday, And definitely I will call you whether successful or not, people like you are supposed to be appreciated. I was wondering if you could assist me with the frequency and the symbol rate for the same channel, and is it scrambled coz I don't know the secret number to edit biss on my decoder. Regards

To track, you will need at least 2.4m if you're West Africa. use capital TV frequency to track 4184 V 2800. PTV package is MPEG 2 and PTV Sports is locked with Biss.

The signal is more stable now, but the pictures have ghosts. I think they need to fine tune the beam.

Bros. Upgrading things on my mind now, after all most of us started with mpeg2 (mediacom 910/930/SRT 4663), then came 4669 and then 4930 and then 4922A etc. And now it's HEVC. The truth is that we must go with the technological flow in sat world in order for us to keep enjoying FTA. We all thought it was the end of discussion when mpeg4 surfaced, but we were wrong. Like wise, HEVC will definitely not be the last of DVB Technology that we are going to see, I stand to be corrected.
