Nice setup from great FTA enthusiast. Gith from Jamii. You are welcome to Nairaland... FTA section where we share our findings with love, not like front page where people bash themselves. We were with your brother Kungu here for many years.

Digitman this forum just dey ban you at will. They don't realise that it is you and a few others that keep us here. The day wey you and the other gurus decide to boycott this medium it's goodbye from many of us. Anyways, because of the position of my dish that's why I was asking for satellite with azimuth above 140. Its all good though. What's the tracking tp for 32e?

I believe say there are several words or letters that has been programmed into the bot to see as ban worthy. So me I done dey learn to choose my words carefully and to mind the kind post I respond to. If to say na selfish reason bring me come here I for don migrate since. But because say na selfless act, I just have to relax with a bottle of something till I am given access to the thread again. Tupac say "life goes on".

Anyways back to your question. E shock me say you never test run the 32.9e all these while. A whole you?

Well, just carry for mind say, e nor fit be like 51.5e oh but e go still add some channels to your collection. But I still dey believe say you go don test run the sat before because it's always a sat that always echoes in this thread. I may be wrong though, so here is the tp

Pls help. I switched on my set only to see"Signal is weak" all through.

What could be wrong and how do I go about correcting it?

These are the basic things to check.

If the wire at the back of your setup box is disconnected

If the wire of your lnb/ diseqc switch is disconnected

If your diseqc switch is faulty

If your lnb is faulty

If, depending on the location where the dish is installed. There's a tree in front of where your dish is facing. That has grown taller and is blocking the signal from passing through.

Finally if all the above is in good condition, then you have to check for dish shift and realign accordingly for signal to be restored

Which one be the dark side of FTA

When the channels are not for free but you end up watching it through illegal means. By purchasing whatever is available out there in the market to view them.

That's how far I can go on the topic oh. Because me I nor dey engage in such conversation.

I be dey think say you even dey run multi lnb setup self. Fta na just to add as many stations as possible, even though say all the channels cannot have a premium package but if you arrange the channels to your favorite well. E go still get that enjoyable feel last last.

My bro good evening..

It's been long I have been seeing that channel but never knew it was really existing in that sat again. It was just out of curiosity that I decided to just track and see and it was still there.

It's Located Astra 4A & SES 5 at 4.9°E
Startimes position but just like I mentioned earlier it's on the cband

As you can see in the below image it can be tracked in the whole of Africa/Nigeria and for the fact that the dish will be facing the sky, it makes the signal even more easier.

Lnb skew =5.0clock

Thank you for everytime.... I am a silent follower.

I tracked DStv with my dsat decoder yesterday night with 11900 H 27500 and I was able to get 96% quality but when I put the cable back in the DStv decoder, I could not get all the stations, some did not show due to signal strength as indicated on the feedback.

What is the best frequency to get it all for DStv?

Also, on the same dish(90cm) I tracked this DStv, I intend adding 16e, 7e and maybe 51.5 e, would love your ample guide on how to go about that without adjustment on the dish.

Thank you once again.

For the D**v,use 12245H27500 and all other TPs should pop up,also make sure you've not tampered with your "home network" settings,if you did,do a factory reset and scan,you'll be good.

As for your fat,check the picture.

Your D**v can be attached below the primary lnb and 16E further below it...I hope your dish is bigger than 60cm,it should make it easier and better signal.
