captainus:Thanks captainus. Could you kindly check the beam in www.flysat.com and let me know your thoughts. @adwest Please there are very discerning people so mind your language. If you can't stand the heat, get out from the kitchen |
@all I just found out GTV (Ghana) has just gotten a new transponder on 34.5 deg West (3903 L 2532). Looking at the beam in Flysat, it is reacheable in West Africa so with the MCA Nigeria beam. But the same information on Lyngsat shows the beam is in NE Zone which according to the footprint is not reacheable in West Africa. I'm a bit confuse, any explanation? |
@maddoxoj Great piece there! We need more of those. As the saying goes, "If your Monday will be good, you can see the signs from Sunday night". Judging from your first post, I believe we are going to have big treat of knowledge here. And welcome too simacoltd! |
@sathob I'm very much interested as what you might find. I also have the same notion that if Lagos can get Nilesat, then Accra should also get it. But do you know anyone in Accra or Ghana in general that gets Nilesat? |
@olofofo http://www.lyngsat.com/sirius4.html. Check frequency 12604 V 27500 (got it from previous thread) |
enitan2002:I believe enitan is going to space. Safe journey |
@all I remembered there was a post in the previous thread of African beam on Sirus4 4.8 deg E. Any new development on that? |
jujukemist:I believe you misunderstood me. I just reminded him to use the right word. I would have done the same if he had used the word 'cripple' instead of 'physically challenge'. I remembered issues of correct grammar was raised sometime back. And I believed that too has nothing to do with FTA. |
enitan2002:@Enitan Nice piece there, but the word muhammedans is no longer in use. The word is Muslims. |
@sathob Good, my office is at Akoshie Junction, Mamprobi. Let keep in touch |
@sathob I live in Sabon Zongo, in Accra near Abossey Okai. |
@enitan I believe the geographical location of Accra and Lagos will enable us (Accra) to get Nilesat. I'll give it a try. I'm particularly interested in the theory of 1.8m picking Nilesat in Lagos. You know we are talking of space here, so if 1.8 can do the trick, I believe it will save us a lot of headache. @Captainus I dey like I no dey. Specifically which part of Southern Ghana are you? Hope you are not leaving in the sea somewhere. Do you pick Nilesat? |
@enitan I have been on everyday. This is my second home. Love it here. I think Captainus is Ghana's Ambassador to Niaraland. |
Well, I think I'm the third. Not bad judging from the race. Good work to all |
@all A friend of mine was tracking W3A @ 7 degree and to his surprise some channels of NSS7 C Band notably, Foxafrica, 2M Monde, Algeria, etc. using transponder 11262 H 27500 appeared. To be extra sure, he came home and repeated the experiment and had the same result. Any clue how this could be possible? |
@enitan Great job, keep it up |
kalonji: |
@sathob You are right about Thaicom. The angle looks very acute. |
raw-unkat:I live in Accra. You have to get 3m dish motorised. You need about 4m dish to get nilesat. Thaicom? I wonder if anyone gets it in Ghana. |
@all Correction on the my last post Intelsat 7/10 Tnx |
@captainus @all Yes, MTV, Cartoon Network Africa, Hallmark Channel and ESPN Africaon Intelsal 7/10 @68.5E on 3836 V 20600 are free for now. But these are Multichoice channels and there is no guarantee they would stay free for that long. The History channel and Fashion TV on 3863 V 20600 are also free for now. KBC is also on 3661 V 14070 and a new channel MF Network on 3590 V 26400 all on Intelsat 7/8 |
@captainus If you are on yahoo add me so we can chat. salamandercat@yahoo.com |
@captainus I think the price ranges between 200GHC upwards. But I'll prefer the mesh. I don't know anyone getting nilesat in Accra. What birds are you on? |
@captainus I live in Accra too. It is not possible to pick the SABC channels on 62.E with 1.8m dish. You have to get at least 2.4m. |
All those in Ghana can contact me on matter relating to satellites. Thanks salamandercat@yahoo.com |
@enitan I hope you got my mail. But if anything, get in touch with urfriend, he is my main contact |
@all If anyone is interested in a GBS box, I can help |
@All Though this forum is meant for those in Nairaland, I believed it has gone international. I live in Accra and have benefited immensely from the posts here. I believe the birds available in Lagos are the same birds available here in Accra hence we could share our experiences. Kudos to all! We have to make our voices heard so that certain birds could be beamed here in West Africa. I look for the day when Hotbird would be available to us! |
Hi all I'm a computer enthusiast. I developed the interest during one of my visits to Saudi Arabia and began to try my hands on it. For sometime, I have been looking for something like this forum that would be dedicated to Africa and for Africa. I used to visit satellites.uk but since I got involved here, I've in total love to the forum. Thank you all for the wonderful work. @peacenlove I would be glad if you can hook up with me when in Accra so I can tap some of your vast experience. My cell is 233 24 421 9076. or mail salamandercat@yahoo.com |
I cannot help but to partake in this mind bugling discussion. I'm not a scientist but a free thinker. And I believe very soon we would be traveling thru time. It is there all along but just that people have not realised that. Our wizards and witches have been doing that all these while. It is up to us, Africans, to make a scientific proof out of it. Believe me, come out with a formula and witchcraft would be a course in our schools. |
Hi there, Just be informed that the MBC 1 & 2 on 7 Deg East are the ones from Mauritius, not UAE. |
