They are dish installation jobs including Mytv also

Who amongst us can install for people around iyana ipaja?

I newly met with a man at Alaba today offering me a couple of installation jobs as soon as possible but i may not be available for the jobs.
Kindly send me a reply on WhatsApp 08066018260.
Thanks

Remember the footprints for the EIRP values you get from lyngsat is not always the same in real time especially for those of us in southern part of the country so when working with any C band,if the beam interpretation says 1.8m,I always round it to 2.4m.

We in the southern part of the country dey miss out sha
Don't feel so bro, it's been happening for fringe receptions becos most of them increase as you move towards the sub-saharan belt or as you move northwards of Nigeria/Africa becos those satellite rays are for Europe/ middle east/North African countries which are in North directions to us. But some satellite rays are Continental or they have a particular EIRP value spread over wide area. This is what matters my brother

Helpful info:
Arabsat 5c is 42/43dbW (Eirp level) in Lagos
46e is also 42dbW

You took the words out of my mouth .
But these channels look much like a pay tv to me. Might be scrambled any moment from now. Those with spare 1m dish and above or motorized should try it and enjoy it while it lasts.

Am always fascinated by electromagnetic waves
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 7:55pm On Nov 24, 2020
I remembered way back when i will attach two offset dishes together to find a way of concentrating their signals ray into one big conical feedhorn/ collimator that i built by myself. This was to get fringe signals just like a big prime-focus dish would do.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 7:51pm On Nov 24, 2020
Sir digitman, did you attach di-electric plate?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 7:44pm On Nov 24, 2020
I hope you guys know that cband signal is not blocked by cloudy weather, i think it's not bothered by rainfall too. It's been a while i dismantle my 1meter Arabsat 5c.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 7:42pm On Nov 24, 2020
Digitman:
This is the coverage.

So any Cband dish will pick it
Arabsat 5c is possible on 1meter, i bet that 45e to will be possible on 1meter dish too, judging from the satbeam map of the satellite

Digitman:
My brothers, with Cband dish, I be don hear for sometime now say some very interesting premium channels. Dey transmit currently for free. For 46 degree east, Silverbird position.


The channels make sense sha, e pain me say nor be too many people get Cband dish.


Well make we enjoy while it last.

Frequency

4165 V 16325

4184 V 16325

Note that the screenshot of the channel list below is for H.265 DECODER
Thanks digitman
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 10:31pm On Nov 23, 2020
Pls let us not forget about cband on 1meter dishes too, maybe we will be lucky with this h265/multistream generation.
Pls who knows how much is cband lnb holder for 90cm/1meter offset dishes?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 10:10pm On Nov 23, 2020
Choosing a better dish also helps the signals of secondary lnbs in multiple lnb installations.

Pls house, if you can, take a picture of the type of ds*v/ strong/startimes dishes you installed and your signal strength on your strong decoder. I mentioned Strong decoder becos many strong decoders show the true signal strength that you achieved.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 10:02pm On Nov 23, 2020

I have observed this situation also by myself. When tracking ds*v, a particular type of ds*v 90cm blue dish doesn't go beyond 83% while there is another one that can go as high as 92%.
Also, imagine this. I mostly end up with 87% on kwese 1meter dish but i get up to 93% on the old ds*v 1meter white dish.
I mostly end up with 87% on kwese 1meter dish but i get up to 93% on the old ds*v 1meter white dish for 51.5e

Nice topic.

Focal point or lenght is the juice of a satellite dish.
If ur dish has bad focal point, ur 4m dish will underperform and output will be comparable to a 60cm dish.
I've on numerous occasions come across dishes whose lnbf arms are missing and I had to fabricate the arms as well as get an approximate Focal point.
As regards 51e, I happen to get 83%, 77% and 72% on three separate 1m dishes of different make.
Also 12518h29500 74% 69% and 72% on this same dishes..
NB: if u want to know that ur dish is underperforming, track nigcomsat or dstv. If the dish is bad u won't get nigcomsat and if u get dstv, the signal will be very poor.
In such cases it is best u replace the lnbf arm of ur dish, lie ur dish flat facing the ground or recalibrate ur Focal point.
Thanks emmaniche.
This discussion is useful to help us all identify which particular type of 90cm/100cm offset dishes to go for when purchasing a new one
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 6:50pm On Nov 23, 2020
I think it's time we bring up dish talk. I mean the variety of ready-made satellite offset dishes out there. I noticed that the types of blue ds*v 90cm dishes are up to 3 or more,
Even the 100cm/1 meter dishes vary at signal strength.
For those who have used kwese 1 meter grey dish, pls what is your highest signal strength for 51.5e?
My point is that the 90cm dishes with longer focal length are performing equally with kwese 1meter grey dish.
Pls let's confirm this.
Thanks.
Am hoping for replies
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 1:00pm On Nov 18, 2020
This is wonderful. You are a gallant genius.
Well-done bro
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 3:20pm On Nov 17, 2020
Its not quite stable on digicom 9000HD
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 3:15pm On Nov 17, 2020
For those who's 51.5e channels are stable, kindly let us know which frequency & symbol rate your decoder settled for.
Thanks.
Its also possible that different decoders behave differently on 51.5e.
Pls let us know the decoder you used that has stable 51.5e channels. Thanks
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 3:42pm On Nov 15, 2020
Pls is there anyone among us who knows much about Vmade V5 or KOQIT V5 satellite decoder?
Kindly let us know your experience with it.
Thanks
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 12:08am On Nov 13, 2020
Maybe this link may be of help for Vmade V5 users
https://www.v-made.tv/viewforum.php?f=39
I suspect that Vmade and koqit are from same manufacturers.
Am i right?

Thanks yawwilson
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 9:23pm On Nov 11, 2020
Now, my question is:
Do these decoders mentioned above have any website for us to download upgrade software?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 9:19pm On Nov 11, 2020
Popular ones there are many models of gtmedia decoders
Vmade or V5 decoders
Hellobox decoders, including hellobox smart 2.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Satdexter: 9:15pm On Nov 11, 2020
AliExpress price slash is still on, it started 9am today and should last 24hrs or so. Go search and get h265/multistream decoders at very cheap price, remember to compare the prices among different stores and ones with lowest shipping cost or free shipping, to help you get the best deals. Good luck, guys.

Hello house, Satdexter is back. You all are great people. You are all engineers, no matter your studied professions. Thumbs up guys.
I recognize George D, and them older gengz, digitman and other newer gengz we see you all. God bless you all
