Your matter simple.

First thing to check, is if TV outlet has already been wired.

Second is how many channels they need to be showing in the TV in the rooms.


Once you've got that info. Then you can proceed with the needed materials to do the job.

If it is just one channels they want showing in all the rooms, and the TV outlet has already been wired before by the electrician. Then all you have to do is buy an RF modulator ( this apply to new Dstv decoder that does not have an Rf output). Then you connect the av output to the Rf modulator... From the Rf modulator/ converter, you connect the TV wire that links to all the TVs in the room.

But if it is a multi channel setup.. Then you have to calculate one decoder to one channel. So for example it is four to eight channels they want showing in each TV.. Then it has to be four to eight decoders as well.

Then you have two options in such a setup depending on the financial strength of your client. The option of using a multiswitch to reduce the amount of dishes installed outside. Or using a four pin Lnb for a four decoder setup or two four pin lnb on two dishes on an, eight decoder setup. Then you need a channel combiner or you can still use an eight way Splitter in reverse. To combine all the wire coming from each 4/5/6/7/8 Rf modulator or Rf out of each decoder. Then you connect the single wire that links and loop to each rooms. Then you configure each decoder to a specific channel. Starting from channel 21 to 99. That way each time a TV connected to the TV outlet is scanned, all 4/5/6/7/8 channels will appear in that order.

Remember to add signal booster/ amplifier inbetween. For a more clearer picture.

This is just the basic.. Though it can still get more advanced than that.. Depending
You've said it all bro just wanted to correct that RF output ranges from 21-69,believe it was a typo all the same well said

Thanks bro. Interestingly, my 1m dish had very little space for maneuver where it was mounted. So I removed it and put my 90 cm dish and voila! I got 82 % signal strength but zero signal quality on my satfinder. As I Don tire for not hitting green, I went inside my house to blind scan with faith and I got the coveted MBC channels. The investment in fta is paying off thanks to your guidance. This weekend I go try 3w with my 1m dish. Una do well o


Na that by Faith made me laugh. Congrats. If not for the flexibility Strong Decoder are the best bet for tracking.


3w channels are being scrambled of recent.

I will strongly advice that you call their customer care directly. To get a current info on that. I don't know of Nigeria but in south Africa it's obtainable for multichoice.

For 90CM with lnb on 42E

What's the dish movement to 51E?



And which other Sat can be combined with 51E? I suppose 45E is not far away?

I am going to make this simple for you. From a personal experience over the years. I have come to a resolve that buying a decoder that is embedded with premium =

African movie
Foreign movie
News
Music
And probably sports ( even if not live football)

That you pay little or nothing to watch, before you start thinking of adding other dishes or satellite position to watch other free to air station is the Way to go.

Because in do so.. You don't have to worry if the stations will someday go off or totally get bored of not actually getting anything premium or reasonable to watch, for yourself or family members. Whenever you turn your TV on.

As of today, only two decoders can actually give you that safety ( I stand to be corrected)

So which are they you may ask?

(1) Strong 497S

(price for decoder, around 20k or above) has a guaranteed embedded premium stations for African movie, foreign movie, news, news. That you pay not more than 2k5 to 3k yearly ( depending on where / platform you are using to subscribe from) . Which is achievable with just one dish. After that you can still decide if you wish to add an extra dish or 3 more dishes or LNB to get whatever free stations is out there. ( MEANING IT CAN STILL BE USED FOR FTA ) it's H.265 compatible and it multisteam.

(2) OURTV decoder

( company price 11900 naira but can not be more than 13k from outside source)
It also has a guaranteed embedded premium channels for African movie, foreign movie, cartoon, news, music, sports ( though not live). All receivable with one dish. After that you can still add three more dishes or LNB ( MEANING IT CAN STILL BE USED FOR FTA) However there is no software for now to make it multi stream but it's H.265 compatible .

However, there are still many decoders out there in the market that can be used to hunt for FTA stations but don't come embedded with premium station from factory.

TSTV decoder has their own channels as well and can still serve for FTA purposes but I am not confident enough to add it to the list yet. Judging from history.

So meditate on where your priorities lies, for in doing so, you will make a better choice on which decoder in the market suits your real needs.

One love



I am overwhelmed with this detailed reply. This has guided my decision and way to go.

Paying a certain amount yearly isn't a bad decision. It's an option I am going with.

Thank you once again @Digitman

Your dish goes few inches down-left, from 42e to 51e

Sat Combination depends on location signal strength and the person doing the tracking. However here are some possible combination
= 51e /42e/36e/32.9e/28e

I have 28e(as primary), 32e and 42e set up on 90 cm dish but I've been finding it difficult to add 51e. Please, any suggestion or picture to guide me. Thanks.

51e should be at the top of your 42e.

You can still try and experiment by changing your primary LNB to either 42e or 32e and see how other signals strength pops up.
