Is it HD decoder? If yes then you are good to go. If not you can only get MBC on 28e.

MBC is actually on 26°E not 28°E, Badr not multi tv.

Though, professional can twist 28 a bit to get 26 on the same lnb.

Baba talk now, I already messaged you.

I finally got it from the woman. The last time I priced 1.8meter in Nyanya it was 25k. If you know Emeka Anyonku St @ Garki close to NTA you will see 2 to 3 meters dish lying there looking for who to carry them away. Just enter those flats and make your intentions known.

I know the place, is it also for free?

Also, I am still a tenant, I would not want my relationship with my landlord to turn sour for now, therefore, those prescription will be too big in a rented apartment.

Yeah, it works but you'd signal quality on 28e.

please guys, i track Joy Tv on 28e but GTV and Joy Sport are not there. Is this general? I used SRT 4940 HD
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by grafikii: 12:41am On Jul 13, 2020
Hello guys, when tracking ku sat on a big dish (3m and above) should the lnb point to the center of the the dish or should it tilt slightly to the sides.
Cc GeorgeD1 odilibe blexxonmak and all

I'm tracking 9e on a 3m dish, when I point the lnb directly at the center of the dish, i am not able to hit signal unless I point the lnb slightly to side, i hit green but with poor results as a 1.8m dish would.

If your dish is okay, the lnb should point directly to the centre

There's also 1.8m. Like I said they are not using them. The only challenge is if you don't have your personal car. Drop will charge you high to move it. If you can't go through that stress then if you have a strong HD decoder you can use it to exchange for 1.8m dish from one of my friends in Jikwoyi or better still if you are interested then add up 2k to that 3k let me talk to him to sell it for 5k. The one that woman gave me; I want to use it tọ nail 33e C-band for my wife to watch Televista since they have left Nigcomsat position.

Good morning grafiki.
When you are tracking a Ku satellite on a parabolic dish, you should make sure that the lnbf is pointing at the center of the dish. You should check the curvature of that your dish including the focal point of the dish.

Hello grafikii,
You might need to check that dish to ensure it is not warped.
Take a straight plank (preferably 2 by 2 wood) and stretch it across the diameter of the dish.
Make sure you are measuring from the center. To get to the center, take another short straight wood
and locate the deepest part of the dish. From that point, align both the 2 by 2 wood that you stretched
across the diameter and the shorter wood that you have placed inside the dish. Both of them must be exactly
perpendicular (90 degrees). Since your dish is 3m, you should get exactly 3m or with some fractions across
two or more opposite ends of the dish. If not then your dish is warped (or bent on one side).

You can do this while the dish is hanging on the pole but you have to ensure it is facing sideways and not up.
But if you can drop the dish to the ground, the better for you. It will make your measurements easier.

Thank you very much, I will try later today.

Also I would like to find out how important focal length is to performance of a dish. Using the formula below I got focal length of 160cm but my dish focal length actually measures at 142 cm which is about 18cm short. Is this responsible for the poor performance of the the dish?

Here is the formula I used
Focal Length = f.

Depth = c = 40cm

Diameter = D = 320cm

f = ( D * D ) / ( 16 * c)

f = (320 *320) / (16 * 40)

f = 102,400 ÷ 640

f = 160cm

I want to know if I should go ahead an construct longer lnb arms or the focal length isn't really important. Looking forward to your response.

Hello grafikii,
The focal length of a dish is very important if you want to get optimum performance from your dish.
In fact, with a wrong focal length you will not get any signal on your lnb and you will end spending countless hours
in the sun for nothing.
That said, if your dish diameter is 320cm and depth is 40cm then your calculation is correct. Your theoretical focal point
should be 160cm. Notice the emphasis on theoretical because in reality, it may not be exactly 160cm spot on.
You will have to do a little adjustment and finetuning in order to arrive at the actual focal point on the dish but I doubt if
it will be as low as 142cm.
