Please bring back the blind scan feature. Because one has to manually input all the frequency to a newly installed sat. Which can be a difficult task to deal with, if you do not remember each and everyone of the frequencies that exist under that sat position.

Till this very day, I can't possibly think of any downside reason to eliminate such a feature that makes a decoder stands out from the rest.

It can really be a turn off to many users who don't have the patience to go through such technicalities.

Please give it a thought, because I believe I speak for many who are not happy about such a feature being removed.

... And here is for 32.9 east gallywood position

I have a few questions here as regards your multi-lnb info and teaching shared yesterday ;

1. I observe that your lnb's provides quality signals, the least of your signals yesterday was 74-75 and above. Pray, tell us, how do you sort your lnb quality and what kind of brands do you often use or rather, used yesterday in your teaching?


2. How do you know when your decoder is due for an upgrade I am asking this question cos I don't know if it's safe or necessary for me to upgrade mine for the August update cos I brought it less than a month or so.



3. You displayed some screenshots of the various sats and signals you combined on a dish yesterday, I am curious, did you use Desiqc or you just plug them in separately. I am asking this cos I understand that combining up to that number of sats on a decoder via DiSEqC reduces the quality of the signals if I am right?


4. I observe today and each time I hunt @ Intelsat 68.5 the signals are either 45% or the highest I would get at, say, 51%. I want to ask, is this normal or the issue is my location or what?


5. Was it this round iron from burnt tyre you used yesterday to hold or bind these lnbs down on the dish?


I believe this question speaks the mind of many of us who have one or two curious questions, consciously or subconsciously from the priceless info you provided yesterday.


Thanking you in advance.

Blindscan will be restored very soon. Ourtv is a brand that listens to the plight of all its users and puts their interests at heart. Definitely before the Year runs out the blindscan feature will be successfully restored as this has become the interest and concern of our dear users.

Thanking you in advance.

1. I belong to the school of thought, that believes in the saying " use what you have to get what you want. Which in reality helped me to achieve all I posted yesterday. Before me, there have been many people who have done such a setup in their own way or method. All I did was tap into the idea of the possibility of such a setup and used whatever that was available withing my disposal to improve on it. So the question of make or brand of lnb is more or less trying to create limitations to myself. Take for example, that someone among the people before me used an lnb of 5k or 15 k to achieve theirs and I limit myself by thinking it's what is needed for such to happen. Then, I would have not been where I am today. The moral of this is simple, don't do as I have done, rather use what I have done as an inspiration to make whatever that is withing your reach a tool to create or make something similar or even so so much better. Further more I also remember pointing out that the signal will vary in different decoders, but does not stop the setup from not fulfilling its purpose.

2. You have asked the question about decoder upgrade in the past pages and I remember giving you my own thoughts about that. You went ahead to ask the guy who was asking after how to go about activating his decoder. Today you bring back the same question. Then I ask myself, why will someone be so interested in fixing something that is not broken? You said to the guy that day that your decoder now multistream. Which if you Google your decoder brand in this forum. To check anything about software upgrade, you will notice it was and still is the only reason why such was recommended.

3. Yes I used diseqc and still wondered how whatever signal drop it brings is more important than the stability of a setup

4. 68.5e is not a sat with the best of signal. So a location can affect it, even the same brand of lnb can either give a low or strong signal. Dish alignment can still reduce signal, different brand of dish can still reduce signal. All the above tend to happen simply because the sat does not have the best of signal strength and as such could vary in different installations.

5. It's a binding wire. It looks like that because of rust. Due to long rain that touched it over the years.

In conclusion.. Many of us are where we are today, not because we asked all the questions there is to ask. But because we studied all there is to study and by so doing, there became no need for any or too many questions.

That's why you will notice some learned minds here will never bother to answer certain questions but will rather tell you to go and study.

At least four among the five questions you asked should not have been necessary. If you stop seeing FTA as rocket science

All my questions are for learning purpose and understanding of what your teaching entails beyond the surface not because some of them were not cleared to me. For instance, I never knew it was a binding wire you used cos it looked like these one gotten from tyre.


I appreciate your efforts and inputs, and for taking the time to explain and answer these questions in detail.

For the fact that you pay absolutely nothing to watch the stations they provide and they still made their decoder to have access to other free to air satellite channels, that you can track yourself.

Then, it does not fall into the category of program rating.


Just like I keep telling anyone that cares to listen.

You have no right to complain about any channel you watch for free. It's only when you are paying to watch that such should be an issue or a debate worth having.

I don't see them as a service provider trying to compete with anyone. But rather a service provider with the aim of trying in their own possible way to give you access. To the basic channels that takes care of your basic TV consumption needs, in a premium package without any need for subscription.

Let's do the math... If a football match is 90 minutes and the lowest resolution consumes 100 megabyte for an hour.. That translate to using just 150 megabyte to watch one match.

So are you now saying 150 megabyte is too much a data to use from the comfort of wherever you may find yourself.

Gone are the days where we should be placing high premium on data. When network providers have to a reasonable extent, made loading of data almost free.

Take for example.. Someone who is on Mtn beta talk. Load a card of 200/300/500 depending on whichever appears on your sim when you Dia *121#

And you get 1gig for 200naira or 1.5gig for 300naira for 7days before it expires. And that same card you use to sub for that data still gives you free credit to call any network. Will you not say that you actually just use the same card that you normally load for making calls to enjoy your Dstv app for free? Many of us load cards on a daily basis... So why not use that one stone to kill two birds.

Life is really that simple, if we tap into all that is available for us not to make it complicated . Is all about life's hack you know. One love
