I haven't completely checked Hotbird, as the position now is 9e.

Later I can use the positioner to take the dish up and check[/quote
check 11488h27500, 11280v27500, 12245v27500 on hortbird if u heat green on all dish it means ur dish is OK without all horbird is zero

Wow.

I would rather stick with 9e then.

As I said, the dish had an impact, placed on Mould, but despite that, it still has fractures and having 'amoeba' kind of contour

Secondly, a stationed dish can't get same signal quality with a motorized dish. With motorized dish, we tend not to favour a particular satellite, but tried to align all Satellites along the East and West horizon.

The dish is so heavy that the '36' heavy duty jack struggles to lift it up from 28.2° East

But after checking the already downloaded 1000+ channels, 12245 and 11488 are there

davo...pls.what can be the cost of erecting such dish

As at last night, my calculations was around ₦160,000 -₦170,000

Dish plus transportation ₦90,000(refurbished but not perfectly done)
Pole ₦12,000
Jack ₦26,000
LNB ₦8000
Coxial cable ₦3000(This is original, looks like blue in colour and not the regular one)
Miscellaneous ₦25,000(cement, sand, Aboki assisting, bolt and knots, buying one or two things)
Lastly, there must be space cos that dish is a 'monster'
If it's not your house, you must not do something that would make your Landlord increase house rent grin

But ideally, things like this doesn't make sense if Nigeria is a good country. I can't imagine just because we want to watch premium content, spending almost ₦200k.

That kind of money can be invested into other ventures or even given to the less privileged

Installation complete.

All Cosmote TV came out with good signal on 9e, except M7 from 12074V. That M7 is where I love to have cos of Bundesliga.

Suspecting, the 4 meter dish I'm using. It's seems to have had a severe impact and not properly repaired.

On Hotbird 13, over 1200 channels came out.

Also, the kind of Decoder I'm using, drops signal a lot.

I don't want to mention the name of that decoder.

If it were to be strong decoder, maybe, it would have been better.

Also, for you to do proper dish alignment, some signal quality would be lost, compared to stationery dish that's in one position.

Motorized dish can never have perfect alignment.

12130, 12245, 12332, 12360 and 12437 are the ones that didn't show. cry
The above TP' s are also elusive on my fixed 3.2m Fibre dish

Seriously, its an investment that worth it on the long run, because those premium channels u are watching cannot be compared to what u watch when u subscribe to dish thieves. Devide ur monthly subscription by what u have spent and see. I installed my 3.2m dish in 2010,and I have had access to what those that paid monthly will never have access to,my dish is still as good as new. I am moving to 4.5m soon. With that I am covered for another 10yrs or more. So it worth it

You are right in terms of premium channels that none of the Paytvs in Nigeria currently offer.

My neighbour was asking why such a big dish and what will I get that 90 cm PayTv can't offer? I said apart from the African movie channels, I have 42.5e for local stations and both 9e and 13e covers 100% foreign entertainment.

My decoder is covered till October, 2020. if I divide ₦160,000/12 months= that's ₦13,000 per month for year 2019/2020, assuming I subscribed to a paytv
From 2020/2021, it is ₦10,000 per annum (₦800 per month) on my big dish.

I doubt it will come out on 3.2m. May 3.6 or 3.8m

But for 4metre, you're certain.

Even this my 4metre loses signal from 7:00am till 2:00pm on 9e

Hello.

Is this under West Africa beam or East Africa? I'm guessing K24 is a Kenyan channel and not a core DSTV SA's owned channel

the channel suppose to go blank before the start of the match and resume after the match.so as not to infringe on other pay TV right.that's the professional way of doing things. It doesn't matter where the channel is coming from .

Startimes should act on it if they're aware or on Saturday, Startimes can retaliate too by showing Man City vs Liverpool.

The two PayTVs are yet to clash since 2010 when Startimes started operating in Nigeria
