Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by satmaniac(m): 7:52am On Aug 30, 2013
odilibe: I have previously experienced this on my strong receiver during multi satellite and auto-scan..back in the days of analogue services,there is this installer who converted c-band frequency to ku band to track c band frequency from my analogue box because the box can only deliver ku band frequency.. grin. what actually happened was that Your receiver have converted C-Band frequency to ku band frequency...using the ku band lnb settings on your receiving,you must have done auto-scan or blind scan on ku band satellite configuration ...below is the mathematical formular for converting ku band frequency to c band and c band frequency to ku are below....

converting ku to c band..

assuming frequency :11938 v symbol rate:27500
where lo frequency for universal lnb =9750
where C-Band lo frequency=5150
11938-9750=2188
now subtract 2188 from c band lo frequency which is 5150
i.e 5150-2188=2962
ku to c band conversion=2188..now add this tp on c-band satellite setting or configuration

Converting c band to ku band are below

arabsat jsc frequency @ 20east are as follow frequency 4054 symbol rate 27500
where c band lo frequency;5150 and ku lo frequency;9750
subtract frequency from lnb lo frequency
i.e 5150-4054=1096
then add 1096 to ku lnb lo frequency=9750
that is 9750+1096=10846
c band conversion to ku band for aljazeera @ 20east =frequency ;10846 v/h symbol rate =27500
if dish this is at 20east ..if you go to nilesat or any ku satellite setting and add this frequency it will be green grin

@ satmaniac, as @Sulieman3 said, the Gurus in Nigeria, especially from Lokoja, are better placed to assist. what I can say is that if others with similar dish of similar size are getting nilesat in Lokoja and you are not then likely one of the following could be true:
i. The dish may be warped hence not focusing all the signal on the LNB. Take it down, put it on a flat surface upside down and check that all sides are touching down.
1i. Your LNB is not sensitive enough for fringe reception. Get a better lnb such as a Samson or Fuji
iii. The TP maybe inactive. Make sure you are using a working TP. The gurus here will help you.
iv. Your Azimuth, elevation or skew maybe wrong. Go to www.dishpoint.com and enter Lokoja, Nigeria and select nilesat and press enter. A satellite picture of Lokoja will appear which you can focus and adjust until the green dot is over your house. The picture will show you the direction to point the dish from your house. At the bottom of the map you will see the azimuth angle, elevation angle, and the LNB skew angle which you should use to adjust your dish and LNB settings.

When Everything is correct at your dish start your hunt and you will lock on to nilesat.

All the best.
Thanks for attending to my lil problem.
@ the time of asking the question I luk 4 all d gurus bt where nt present and I need solution sharpally,so I opt for u knowin so well dat u re nt frm Nigeria,and u re present then,and all I need is some tips and thank u immensely for providing that.

koonlay5: Good day house
Please i would like to know how i can optimise my decoder to get all channels possible.
I use two dish positioned towards MY TV and Multi TV. I also use SRT 4940.
Thank you for ur reply.
U re welcome @kunle.maximising the utility of ur dish and decoder is possible and all u need to do is follow d proven step of our mentor.
Have u ever heard of d term Multi LNBF combination i.e u can cobine 2 and more LNBFs depending on ur dish size,angular(elevation and azimuth) difference and ur technical expertise i.e ur skill.
To do that u need to take the following steps.
First step go to this thread''tips on how to track w4(36e),astra2f(28.2e) and W3c(16e)on a single 90 cm dish'' note d angular difference i.e 36,28 and 16 dat aint much.
Secondly read thru d thread b4 firing any question and make sure u digest what is in there.Reading thru d thread on dis section is encourage because d priest of satellite tv have put some gud stuff in d shrines(numerous threads) of dis section.put dat in practice and u wil thank me later.
Then d final and bold step put what u have learn to practice.''just do it''
U can always come back here if u encounter any difficulty.
Cheers mate.

fpeter: "so only the women are cursed? how about the men who do the same?...i'm beginning to think islam favours men alone just typical. Like when women are raped and then the man goes unpunished whilst the woman is asked to produce witnesses or bear the brunt.
Not only women men included,the reason u have d quotation in dat way is women alone a known to have tatoos in d premedial Arab history.
As for d rape issue dont knw where get dat frm but I wil ask u a question since ur common sense fail u.If mrs Y told u something about mr X raping her,would u blve or verify her claims?

Do u mean he does all dat to please people? If dat is wat u mean u may be wrong as you have no way of knowing dat ,and remember the verse has the following clause"in order to be seen by them"

he would have been one of a hell man of God without his kini as he requires dat thing to carry condom about.Hence they should have cut off his kini dat way he wouldnt need condom.
The rate men of God have sex with ppl wives is increasing,so I will nt be surprise if the senate pass law that would require castration as a prerequisite for becoming man of God.lol.

George_D: @I Hacked,
In as much as the satfinder is a convenient means of sat tracking, a few times we still need to
do things the traditional method. Especially for some of us FTA hobbyists who started up back in
the days when there were no such niceties.

All the same, thanks for your observation. I will get myself a good one. Or do you have any
particular brand you recommend?

As for the redline receivers, I am tempted to take up your offer but as you may be aware, being
an advocate of CLEAN FTA, it will be out of character to be seen indulging in such.

Good observation, yes, the jack is a 24inch heavy duty type and is too small for the dish. I was
unable to get a bigger 36inch type as at the time of installation but now thanks to my friend
obnelly in Lagos, he already bought one for me which I will install tomorrow.
the tv and reciever ,for me is best for illustration on this forum,as it is the common way of tracking among the noobs, you will agree with me that we have lot of members who are new to satellite tv tech stuff hence tey will find it very difficult to understand.
so @GeorgeD is okay,if you continue feeding us good stuff even though its on akira tv.and welldone o!

SportsRe: Why Did Most Nigerians Support Burkina Faso Against Ghana? by satmaniac(m): 10:36pm On Feb 07, 2013
Basic: Initially I wanted us to play Ghana in the finals and beat the daylight out of them. I felt they needed to be taught how to learn to keep their mouths shut when it comes to football.
With the Super Eagles' current form, I'm sure we'll whip Ghana if we play them in the final.
Secondly, I wanted the Eagles to take their pound of flesh from the Ghanians. So, at first, I wanted Ghana to qualify for the final.
But while watching the Ghana-B/Faso semi final, I changed my wish, for 2 reasons:
1. Burkina Faso outplayed them like mad and deserved to win.
2. The refree was obviously behind Ghana. So, out of sympathy, I supported BF.
In short, I didn't support BF out of fear of the Ghanians. In fact, BF will be tougher than Ghana in the final. The Ghanians have just been an average team so far, or maybe a little above average.
You just snatch it out of my mouth....d current superchicken get bird flu,so dem no fear any baga.
Foreign AffairsRe: Iran Unveils Homemade Stealth Fighter Jet (Pictures & Video) by satmaniac(m): 2:44pm On Feb 03, 2013

Iran is an Islamic state, so thus, they(Iran) can do no wrong in their Islamic coloured eyes.
What is wrong if u support dis beautiful piece of technology,coming out of IRAN?
I c u will not support it,because it is an Islamic state.

Congrats @Pidzo!the voice of the majority has spoken,you deserve it.Where INEC has failed nairaland has triumphed,big thumbs up to you @twinstaiye,one thing I notice while inspecting the polling units is low turn out in terms of the number of voters.@twinstaiye I know say u try but next tym make you try more.
@olenyi,you came this january(2012)but your impact is as if u,re here from the very begining.While it is apparent that this year belongs to pidzo,I so much hope and believe that if you continue this way next year shall be either you or @satmaniac.Hence, more charcoal to ur fire!
@obnelly,though the majority has spoken you still remain my poster of the year.I so much believe that you are going to use this event to fire more creativity in next year,so fellow satmates watch out for a reborn and rebranded obnellz.Thus I say kudos to the man who has been denied(majority votes)to be the poster of the year.
In this way,I wish fellow satralanders a merry Xmas and hopeful new year!

Yes o! Is not how far.....thats why we should go out and encourage creativity.
Year 2010 has been a very memorable year because of a very remarkable feat;construction of a 5m dish here in nairaland,which was later install in warri by GeorgeD and co (I will never, ever 4get that feat achieve here).
It was later followed by another one;in 2011 Geometry led some members of this forum into construction of fibre dish.thats remarkable enough.
So fellow satralanders what is remarkable about this year,what make this year memorable here in nairaland,satellite tv technology section? Answer is apart from the xperiment on the performance of those LNBF,obnelly effort at making this year worthwhile can not be 4gotten in a hurry(he construct dish that you can dissemble and assemble that's something for the memory. .
Lets encourage creativity.
Apology,dont know voting is already in progress!Time to drop the campaign!Lolz!

I will be puting you tru on how to fix DSTV Problem Of Channels Not Displaying After Subscription

[img]http://3.bp..com/-rmTxrlKSV3c/UD5P8N220qI/AAAAAAAAAB8/m4wW1oz_IUE/s1600/dstv.gif[/img]


i notice that after renewing my DSTV subscription after my subscription was off for some days, and after paying I went out without confirming if all the channels are showing, I was thinking if it will come back in a couple of hours but still nothing show up. And what was showing was only the free
stations and to go back to complain was another expense and some people who face this same problem and the paid through banks, ATM and DSTV centers. I discover a new way of
reporting errors to DSTv without calling them or going back.

HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM

1 => All you have to do is to send a simple text message

2 => send your RE DSTv decoder number to 30333

3 => eg: RE number is 123456789023 to 30333

This will work for all networks and instantly you will receive a response from them and in a short period of time your channels will be showing.[/center]

Will try it,thanks for d info.@dealeh
