Wow! ... How reliable is he?

And is your decoder currently working well?

The box is working fine. It's the flag bearer of all tigerstar decoders for now.

About reliability, well, you need to have stayed in this forum for quite sometime to decide by yourself who is reliable and who isn't. I have been here (nairaland) for nearly a decade. I didn't have a doubt before patronizing him.

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by FEGEITOK: 9:08pm On Sep 12, 2019
Hello All,

What's wrong with my setup?

Digicom 9000 HD Digital Satellite Receiver

Satellite: EutelSat 7A/B

LNB Type: Ku Band

LNB Frequency:. 9750/10600

Transponder: 11556/29998/V

22KHz: Auto

LNB Power: On

Tone Burst Mode: NONE

DiSEqC Mode: NONE

Signal: 85%

Quality: 45%

Some channels were cracking.

Now the Quality is 0.

And nothing is showing?

Is the Decoder a good model? Or should I get a different one? It is just days old?

What's the recommended minimum Signal Strength and Signal Quality?

Thank you expert technicians and users for your responses.

[qquote author=ansger post=81876129]Please guys I need your help. I ordered a Gtc freesat online and since I bought it here in kano, I've not been able to watch any channel because it's not showing any signal strength. I called a so-called local guru to help me check it up, but he told me that the receiver maybe faulty. He directed me to a guy who broke the warranty by loosing the receiver only to tell me that he doesn't see anything wrong with it. But they've been unable to detect any channel on it. They tested another receiver (non gtc freesat) that worked, but mine is not working still. Please help me out. Update it with its latest software
I have d same decoder

Surely you can. I intentionally post this question just to know how many people really know that DStv decoder can do just more than showing you only DStv channels. It can as well be used to watch free to air channels. Follow this steps to unlock the free to air power of DStv decoder:

How to Track Any Free to Air Channels On DSTV HD Decoders

First make sure you have tracked the free to air satellite you want to watch, they include TSTV, Nigcomsat, Media 7/ Multitv/Joy TV, amongst others, the choice is yours and also depends on you dish size. 60cm or 90cm dish is ok for the above mention free to air satellite. After tracking, follow these step below;

- Remove the ‘LNB in’ cable at the back of the DSTV decoder.
- Switch ON the decoder and ignore the message on the TV screen telling you ‘there is no signal’.
- Press the DSTV MENU Blue button on the decoder’s remote controller.
- While on the menu, go to ‘SETTINGS’.

- Select ‘SATELLITE SETTING’.
- Choose ‘ADDITIONAL NETWORKS’.
- Select ‘NETWORK 1’.
- Change ‘Enable Network’ to ‘YES’.
- Now you will notice that other information in the network 1 window is editable.
- Now Go to frequency and input the free to air satellite TV frequency you want to track.
- Move over to symbol rate and input the symbol rate digits.
- Change the polarization to that of the satellite you want to track. Leave NIT on and FEC = 5 over 6
- Connect back the signal cable to your decoder
- After you must have received the signal; select ‘SCAN THIS’.

- Kindly Wait for the scanning to complete.
- Press navigation button bring up the channel ‘GRID’ and you will see the free to air channels added to the bottom of the list.
- Now Select the channel you want to watch and enjoy.
While DStv does not support Disecq Switch to watch different satellite at the same time, however , you could only view one satellite which is connected in Disecq 1 or A of your diseq switch.

Repeat above procedures to scan more channels on other TP using other Additional Networks 2, 3, 4, 5 on the decoder
