DVB-S2X denotes Multistream, not DVB-S2.


I'm not sure of Multistream, but I think V7 plus is a T2/S2 combo decoder.
V7 Pro is Multistream capable though.


The Complete MBC channels in HD, plus Alkass sports and other Arabic channels.


That brand of Diseqc is called TARGET.


Hope you are feeling better now bro.

Is the above all MBC on Ku or Cu, and what is the tp for this?

Thanks in advance.

You can get MBC on Nigcomsat 42.5e, 26.0e and maybe 7w all with Ku.

Good student. Smiles
Thanks to digitman

Am thinking that we all need to discuss the performance of lnbs based on their feedhorn design.
I have seen about 5 different types now. And i think it determines if:
1. If an lnb is good for
Hollow dish or flatter dishes in both cases of offset dish design and prime focus design.
2. If an lnb will be good for secondary satellite signals not picked on the primary lnb holder.
3. If an lnb is very effective to pick high signal quality on both satellites picked together in a single lnb.
These three lnb are strong brands of lnb.
I feel they converge signals slightly differently. What do you think?

Hello everyone

this question might have been asked here before, pardon me if I'm repeating it, thread is so big

I once had a FTA decoder with the big dish years back, no longer in use due to relocation

Back Then, i read from this thread how to get more channels at different positions with some kind of software installed to the decoder with a flash (this has been a longer time, can't remember what the name of the software/process was, sorry grin )

I'm planning on getting a decoder again and I'm considering FTA one

My question, is free to still a good buy now(and what the best buy is)?

Can i get any kind of sport channels on it?

Are there other things needed to be done to get good channels like sports?

Also are big dish still necessary now? Because i see combo of 2-3 smaller dish around with so many bands on them these days

Anticipating an answer from anyone
Thanks in advance smiley

The Particular MBC HD he is referring to is located in 26 degree east ku band. However it's not receivable with 90CM dish but from 3m up. Except you have such kind of big dish. It will be irrelevant asking for tp.

Good evening everyone pls how can I get free stations on my viewstat decoder VRT4922HD
I already have some like those Christian channels and some others ..but is it possible to get interesting FTA channels ..Thank you

For over two weeks, all that has been talked about here centres on the word possibility. So the answer to your question is yes.


You can consider this sat position to suit your needs.

51.5 degree east

42.5 degree east

32.9 degree east

28.2 degree east

Just to name a few.



Also taking a time out to read some more pages back. Will really help to keep you up to date on what has been happening in your absence in that regards

Remain blessed

The problem with strong LNB for sometime now in my own opinion is that, there are like LG tv, that has fake and original.

But let me stay on topic, the number two LNB from my experience outsmart the other two when it first came out. If you are using it to track satellite from 36 degree to 5 degree in percentage gain.

I can remember back then, when mbc Rodrigues at 7 degree east was a hype on watching football. It gave a much stronger signal on 60CM dish

I may be wrong but if I am not mistaken, your number one priority is sports and any other thing is just to while away time.

So I am going to build my own little contribution on that foundation.

To begin with, One will notice that you once had a particular kind of decoder that was used with a big dish to view some specific channels on a sat position.

Definitely it wasn't an FTA channels because you must have been viewing premium sport channels on it back then.

Which for now will make big dishes still relevant, should you still choose to want to have such kind of feel again. Because such kind of decoder that does such a thing are still in the market and one of our brother here will give you all the info you need to get started.


However, when you choose to satisfy the curiosity of the combo of small dishes to satisfy your quest for sports. It may likely be a series of random FTA channels , located at various sat position.

I am not a sports person so my information is inconclusive but only just a baseline.

So when it's just watching sports strictly on FTA without any backyard door. Names like these begins to whisper in my ears

Ourtv located as 32.9 degree east

Ourtv sports located at 42.5 degree east

Gtv sports/ max TV located at 28.2 degree east.

Just to name a few I can possibly remember.

I believe strongly that many sports fan in the house will come and help me to do justice, in helping you make the right decision.

That's our digitman, experience is golden. Thanks my brother.

Pls others, let's join in the conversation.
The first journey to success is knowing the tools (dish, lnb and decoder) you are working with

I think the second lnb is better to pick just one satellite at a time and it's meant for dishes with a higher focal length-to-dish diameter ratio.

The third one is the better for secondary signals picked on other LNBs on a dish
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 7:59pm On Dec 01, 2020
The first one is meant for hollow dishes or those with short focal length.
My opinion is based on their feedhorn design

With inverto black quad LNB, you will all be able to track Nilesat easily and with good signal quality, but getting the LNB in our macket here in Nigeria proof a big proble. Anyone with information on how we can get it here in Nigeria? remain blessed.

It depends on what you are after. If you want stability as in you don't want to be tracking all the time, go for Ourtv decoder. Our TV position on 42e has enough goodies to keep you happy and satisfied.

But if you are an enthusiast like me who loves to test every sat, go for tiger.
