I think this icone iron boxes are grossly overpriced. The only thing going for them is the algerian orca server. A decoder for over a 100k. Can someone remind me how cheap is technomate lnb too? These are not your average price gadgets except i'm wrong. Can we have some pocket friendly reviews please?

As it is with all facets of life, so is it with FTA...there is a point where you separate the boys from the men! The real FTA experience is not cheap.

They have accounts that illegally decrypt PayTVs in Europe.

After spending ₦90,000 on a decoder for an account that can be rendered useless by simple upgrade by the European PayTVs, why not pay that ₦90,000 to DSTV ori Startimes that you can sue if they mess up?

The decoder also has IPTV account that requires you using your data, which is slow on Nigeria and also expensive.

I posted about the SmartTV while I was in Paris in December. IPTV makes sense in countries like France with good data that's not too expensive. More so, the IPTV in that Samsung TV beats all IPTV anyone else in Nigeria is marketing.

If you want to risk, risk with cheap decoders like ₦15,000 to ₦20,000. But throwing ₦90,000 on what's not sure, is a very risky venture.

My take personally.

Anyone can buy if they want sha

Also there is one thing you need to consider when you are buying such a expensive decoder, you have to make sure they have a dedicated website that always support decoder with software from time to time.... Note its very important!!!8

I am someone who's very detailed in my dealings even in the real world, that's i post lengthy information, so people can learn from my experience.

In September, last year and precisely September 15th on my way from Auckland, New Zealand, we stopped over in Dubai and I had to take the train to the town in search of Icone's office in UAE. They didn't respond to my mail before leaving Nigeria or even pick calls.

So, you can draw your conclusions from my experience.

Some people here may remember when I bought my T8 (name withheld) from a certain guy that i picked his contact on Nairaland, when I had issue, he behave like a very uncivilized Nigeria, posting nonsense, then left me to deal with the challenge of the decoder myself. I bought the decoder N15,000 on a Wednesday from him, decoder developed issue on Friday two days later. I ended up spending N12,000 to fix a decoder I bought for N15,000.

You can also draw another conclusion from my experience.

If you buy strong decoder from authorized dealers in Nigeria and you have any issue within warranty period that was not your fault, they deal with it.
But you buy these decoders, the middlemen that sell these decoders in Nigeria buy from various sources and many of them do not have access directly to the OEM.

on December 31st 2019, I bought some things in a store in Aulnay Sous Bois in Paris. The store said I can return any of the items within 5 days to them for a full refund or change.

Here's my conclusion.
When buying items that are not legal, make sure you follow T&C and try not to over spend, so you can count your loss.
Also, try to reach the direct OEM and transact with people you can hold.
I order many car parts from Ebay, Alibaba, Ali express etc. If any item fails, I do get my refund most times.

That's my take in response to your post on having access for after sales service.

Use invert black HD ultra lnb and enjoy better network signal. Best lnb so far. It has both single and dual
Here's an update on the performance of my dish.
After many suggestions on NL, on Saturday we decided to try couple of things out.

First called my installer to discuss the strategy, cos the guy is one of the best ever installer operating in Nigeria. We started together from those days of Analog on Arabsat 30 degrees East, those days of no sat finders, that we had to use TV for tracking Nilesat as early as the days of ABG in the early 90s.

We tried the single way Inverto, but it gave same outcome as the 2 way StarGold fuji.
He had to return the StarGold fuji and did few adjustment and we gained about 3%.
He then suggested we should clean the dish and repaint, cos the paint on the refurbished dish was wearing out after only getting it in October, 2019

We painted and did further adjustment and everything seems good now since Sunday.

One thing is that, the dish is motorized and we can't compare performance of motorized dish with a static dish. Static positioned dish will have more gain on the satellite being used as primary, but it limits what you can receive, no matter the number of lnbs you attach on a static dish.

With motorized dish I can receive nothing less than 20 satellites, with my 36 inches Heavy duty Jack that rises from 56 degrees east to 30 degrees west. Hence from Hellas Sat 39 E to Hispasat on the west, motorized dish is well covered.

I'll continue to watch the performance as we approach the raining season and probably get the two way Inverto Ultra

You can put your nigcomsat together with 68degree those church channels just add one lnb with binding wire on 90cm since both satelites are more stable and close to each other. You can add a dish pan by tracking multi on astra 28degree it’s also stable and if you have decoders like 4922a strongmax or strongmax 4955b upgrade or h265 decoder your multi will catch metro tv Gtv sports crystal prime etv among others on multi .your lnb skew must be around 2pm to 2.30pm for those channels to pop up and make sure you attain higher signal strength to avoid cracking of channels

Attach 32e to it. 16e can come under also if 28e is the primary . Yayi can join the league also if you know your way. Likewise old mytv if you are church lover

I use Technomate on my pan dish and I will say the performance is great. I am even yet to fully capitalize on its potential due to laziness on my side. However, I must warn that Technomate Lnb comes as an offset, so you have to properly convert it to a prime focus before the magic kicks in. That's the trick.

I have work on a dish that it's just less than 1k lnb that beats other lnb hands down. And vice versa. But technomate is doing wonders . A friend once post technomate performance on mesh dish during the time beout with 2.4 mtr dish despite it's great performance on filber dish. No lnb does it best on our local fabricated dishes . Unless you are able to get the one that works best for your dish. Inverto is one of the best also. But it works more on pan dish . And if well cut and modify. It works wonders on filber also.
