Thanks again. I noticed that the decoder is not picking the nbc channels on badr5 . I used the tp settings on lynsat to no avail. Can you please help me with how to get it? Already got some channels on badr 5


For the fact that you are getting some channels listed on the satellite position shows you are there. But on the issue of the mbc tp not popping up can or maybe resolved with a more stronger lnb or a little bigger dish. But considering the fact that you may want to make do with what you already have on ground, then you can try tweaking your lnb , while your eyes in on the tracker.

You can as well change your lnb lineup and make nigcomsat position to be your primary lnb.. While you attach joy TV and every other satellite position that fits into one dish. That's if it is what you were going for. After all mbc, is still very much stable in nigcosat.

The attached image shows a setup I did to use along with my Dstv decoder and my free to air decoder in one dish. Mind you 16degree east can still fit into the same dish just a little Way below. But I removed it because I don't need it.

Thanks for the insight. However, this setup appears too advanced for my beginner's level. I was rather hoping to attain the MBC channels on badr5 with the same lnb that I used to attain astra 28. Is that even possible?

Study the image carefully and you will notice how easy it can be for you. Just track the nigcosat first (42.5 degree) tight your dish. Move to your joy TV frequency, connect your wire to your extra lnb . Then standing in front of your dish, place the lnb at the right side of the L shape bar holding the lnb. Then slide down slowly and you will notice the signal coming up.

As regards to tracking joy TV and 26e together, it's possible but you're currently having an issue getting the mbc Tp to pop on 26 degree. That's why I gave you another solution to still achieve your goal in one dish setup.

It's a good step hooking up with someone close by to you. That way both of you can figure out a more realistic approach.


On a lighter note.. Did I hear you say satisfy ladies? Oh boy!! I just hope the particular one you're trying to satisfy is not a ZEEWORLD fan. Because I don't know how you can archive that without channel 166.. Lol!! Anyways nothing is impossible when your mind is made up.

Considering the fact that you're very much interested in the multistream option. Then you have to pick 497s which seems to be their most current decoder.

If I am in your shoes and I am in the market for the next best thing in decoder.. I will consider

Tiger T3000 Mega 4K .. If money is not a setback. Considering the fact that someday you hear people move from saying multistream channels to 4k channels. It is also an android box So You can easily install Dstv now app on it and still catch up with some of your favourite, from the box to your TV wide screen view. Just a thought.

But coming back to the former list I gave based on financial limitations, then I will pick the Tiger T8 ultra.

If you're just interested in connecting to normal free to air station with just one single lnb.. Then there is a possibility in that.

But having multiple dishes connected to it is not going to be possible because it does not have that functionality.

Then on the hype about multistream channels.. Don't expect that to happen as well With Your explorer.

Let's not be too quick to dismiss this claim because you never know the exact location where this particular dish was installed.

I still remember way back, like 10 to 13 years ago. Some guys here installed nilesat with 1.8 metre dish here. I bought 1.8 metre , I did not got it.. Someone in my location got it with 2.4. So I bought 2.4 metre, even when my dish was 30 feet above the ground I did not get it. So I went ahead and bought 3m dish, that's when the signal even pop up in my location. Also there are lnb that can still help in making that which seems difficult to one person a lot more easier. Make you people nor begin quote me wrong oh !! I am just sharing an experience. One love
isn't like that with 2.4m here in Nigeria he can't get good signal on mux 60e

That's Why I pointed out that We should consider the location first.


But then I feel You bro, because out of curiosity I tried nailing that bird way back but notice the signal was weak down in my path. So I never bothered again. Besides one can easily receive those channels now with small dishes and the right decoder in other satellite position.

The thing is that most peeps here just post based on EIRP/footprints but in real time,the data may not be the same especially for birds covering West Africa/Sub Sahara Africa.

Everything that has to rely on data is always questionable about Africa — On maybe the service provider of the Nigerian mux made it really difficult to hunt. Several people have already attested that hunting that bird has been really elusive.

From EIRP maps,with a 1.8m dish,you should easily hunt birds like Intelsat 68.5E and the Nigerian mux in 60E but it's not always the case,same for 7E too. So I have a rule of thumb,if data says 1.8m,I go for 2.4m instead.in some cases,it doesn't mean you can't hit the bird bit you just need some "surplus" to make your hunting easier especially if you're a rookie.

�� Exactly what I needed to know sir.
You just hit the nail on its head! You understand me better. I don't want a scenario that I'll be changing decoder because of features.
I love the 4K and DSTV now app that can be installed. With this feature, any family member can watch DSTV with his/her data without necessarily using my only phone that has the right to DSTV now.

Very appreciative sir.
But where can I get T3000 MEGA 4K... decoder?
God bless you.

T3000 mega 4K for #85,000!
I've read about the decoder. Interesting and costly but sophisticated. I rather budget and wait for it than to buy ones with lower features and keep changing later.
But sir, must this beast always be on data for it to work?

��using my only phone that has the right to DSTV now.

Unless I am not getting you right. A maximum of four devices(phones/tablets) can have full access to one account .

Funny enough you can still use the account of other family members who have Dstv but not really into the app thing to multiply the access to as many phones/tablets as possible. Currently I have over 25 phones/tablets connected, using the above method.

There are so many friends and family with active Dstv account who do not care about using the account for Dstv now. All I do is just ask for them to give me access to connect those who really need it to use it.
