Pls How can I add nigcomsat to multi Tv. My primary is 28e where do I place nigcomsat lnb? Thanks.

nigcomsat is at 98 degree east, multi to 100.2 degree east, while Astra 28.2 is at 103.9 degree east
Then nigcomsat is at the left, your primary 28.2 Center then 103.9 right, ie nigcomsat 98, Dstv 100.2 Ghana 103.9

Satellite TV Technology › The Right Process Of Satellite Dish Installation by trewbless(op): 3:34pm On Jul 04, 2017

Please follow the following steps carefully to get your stationary system installed quickly. If you have any questions, feel free to post it in the Nairaland forum members will respond to your question(s) immediately

(1) Azimuth (Magnetic): is the angle relating to the horizontal positioning of the dish. The angle is expressed in terms of degrees, with North = 0 degrees, South = 180 degrees. Use your compass to aim dish at that angle.

(2) Elevation: is the angle above the horizon, and is also expressed in terms of degrees. This is the angle by which the dish must be "tilted Up or Down" in relation to the theoretical horizon, in order to position it precisely for the desired satellite.

(3) LNBF Skew: It is important to adjust the LNBF skew for stationary dishes. Learn more here!

When adjusting your LNBF, be sure you don't leave that LNBF holding bracket loose. The LNBF won't pick up the satellite if the bracket is loose, and it's slightly off. Finally, when thinking about degrees, remember that 30 degrees is about 5 minutes on a clock. Don't turn the LNB too much!

Make certain that the pole or tri-mast assembly is vertically plumb. Check it with an Angle Finder or a level. If the pole or tri-mast is not plumb, your azimuth and elevation will not be accurate and will cause difficulty when pointing the dish. Also, if you are using a pole mount, make certain you pour a sufficient footing that will provide proper ballast. A pole that does not have sufficient ballast will lean over time, causing you to lose the signal. Your mount must be very strong and can not wobble. You must use at least 4 lag screws (correct size for your installation) in the base mount one on each corner.

When pointing the satellite dish, allow 5-10 seconds between any movements of the dish. This allows the receiver to complete a signal scan, and lock indicating that you have located the signal.

A reasonable signal strength is between 50 and 80. If it is lower than that range, you are either pointing into an object (e.g. trees, shrubs, or structures) or pointing above or below the satellite. Your antenna installation position must have a clear view angle of the satellite you are trying to receive.

There are other satellites within 2 degrees to the left or right that may use the same frequency. This will provide a strong signal strength reading but no signal quality or signal lock. If you have a high strength reading but are not able to lock on, try adjusting the dish slightly to the right or left.

When you are attempting to set up a satellite dish in a heavily wooded area or one with lots of man made obstructions, it helps to understand how the dish really works. One common misconception is that the dish points 'directly' at the satellite. This isn't the case for most dish designs. The apparent elevation of the dish is 22 or more degrees lower than it's actual receiving window.

If you complete the above steps properly, your chance of a successful installation is 99.9%.
and you are trying to aim your dish that the receiver waits about 3-5 seconds after it locks on to the correct signal before it registers on the receiver's signal meter on the antenna aiming screen on your TV. Move your dish in very small increments (2 deg East or West each instance until you find the signal then 1 deg to peak signal). If you move the dish too fast and do not pause between moves you might go thru the signal before the receiver can tell you that you are on the signal.

If you use a signal meter you can hook it into the system right at the dish and it responds to the signal immediately making it much easier to aim your dish. You do not need any one else to help you if you use a meter at the dish.

hello satelite landers. i need more info on the nigcomsat.is it stable now.i have climbed up last week spending 2hours trying to add it to my multi using 3in 1 lnb on 60cm.

i couldn't nail that bit*h .so i thought it was off.i use the to 12518 h 29500. pls gurus.i want to try again this morning .I want to know the actual position of this nigcomsat from multi joy . i mean the 42.5e .is it left up from joy or right up. also can 60cm nail this bird easily when combined.

i also want to clarify when the signal is always up so as to know when to climb up.also when you guys says it goes off .sometimes.does this mean that if i successfully track it and it goes off.will i have to climb up and retrack again or is it just signal that goes off and comes back later without having to retrack.so much question .just to confirm.

urgent response pls

the signal has increased tremediously now, I believed that was while it was difficult for people to track earlier before now .its working fine now, I was surprised when I got home this night my signal that was just 44% yesterday had increased to 80% plus

Don't take it personal, if you read my post well, I said it's not necessary for small dish users but for installers who install all kinds of sizes of dishes, they need it most. I also said if one has the money then no problems but if not why waste money on gadgets when you can learn well and improve.
I don't have anything in mind against you. This is the first time I wrote on the forum for a long time but I usually follow. I still have responsibility to guide and advise members of this forum like every other oldie does here like Odilibe, Dlee1 and many others who were here and always observe things and contribute when necessary.
My message is simple, those who deal on small dishes shouldn't task themselves for that.
Those who deal on all kinds of sizes of dishes, it's necessary. I don't think I offended you, if I do I would apologize, so do not feel bad unless you have something hidden but I don't think so.

I am not taking it personal, people have satlink meters which they are using, is just that I decided to buy this expensive one for my job now and future ambition, and am really enjoying it, the compass and the angle finder which is the inclinometer is not expensive all that much, I even told people if they cannot afford it they download the compass in their phone that it will help them a lot, my friend why I decided to replied to ur comment was that u said I need more knowledge which of course is true, I am learning every day even here in nairaland.we are all learning no one is an island, that fact is that some of us always want to castigate people that they know more than everybody which is not a good reputation at all. Well am a christian I don't easily pick offence from people, because we all have different characters based on the fact we all are from different background. Well if I have offended u in my speech forgive me we are still together.

well for those who know me well, they can tell of me, I have been into installation business over ten to twelve years, whether tools or no tools I install dish of all kinds I am only just telling u if u want to take installation of satellite dish as a carrier, there is need for u to get the necessary tools to help u track and align ur dish easily, I am not selling tools neither am compelling u to come and buy from me, when I Was in warri delta state I was running a cable business then I was having over 400 people I Supplied cable tv to which they use in their houses, I supplied general huspital warri, Npa,Ijaw quarters, water board and A' Division polic barracks, I never hired anybody to come and assist me for any installation, neither will I ever do that, I,did not take installation of satellite dish as a carrier , Am a senior police office still in service , seeing me here in the Naira does not mean i am looking for somebody to give me a job of dish installation ,am only trying to give out the little idea I have to other who may have not know or have known and still willing to learn the more, my friend since u are a professional installer that does not need any tools before installing satellite , let those who feel they need the tools enhance their prfessionaliism be. Anyway thanks for ur advised and Have a nice day.

I am into downlink equipment installation, Vsat installation, Cctv/IP cameras installations and hotspot configuration etc, these are the major reasons while I acquired those items and there are lot more on the way, I don't sell, and remember dish installation is not limited to ku band based on your explanation. My friend like I have earlier said I am a government worker and into many businesses I have the money to acquire whatever I want and it is an assets to me, remember the world is going digital we all need to move along, we need to be dynamic and not to remained static.

Let me understand this mathematics. You are tracking KU band with small dishes and you still complain about not getting the signal you are hunting for, your problem isn't costly tools, it's knowledge, try to learn more.
Frankly speaking, buying tools worth 80k for tracking small dishes is stupid thinking and lazy attitude. With sound knowledge, you actually don't need the tools for installing small dishes.
In Onitsha I personally tracked NigComSat in 5 minutes with 60cm. Once you are knowledgeable enough on satellite installation, no KU band should cost more than 10 minutes on small dishes.
Expensive tools should be for big dishes, 3m and above. Tracking small dishes with ready made tools won't help sharpening your skills, it's like someone who wants to learn how to drive with automatic vehicle, such person will never understand how gear works.
I am not saying that tools aren't good, they make stuff easier but why should someone pay 80k for tools to track multi TV, Champions, NigComSat etc. It's cheer waste in my opinion but if you have the money, fair enough buy them.

well for those who know me well, they can tell of me, I have been into installation business over ten to twelve years, whether tools or no tools I install dish of all kinds I am only just telling u if u want to take installation of satellite dish as a carrier, there is need for u to get the necessary tools to help u track and align ur dish easily, I am not selling tools neither am compelling u to come and buy from me, when I Was in warri delta state I was running a cable business then I was having over 400 people I Supplied cable tv to which they use in their houses, I supplied general hospital warri, Npa, Ijaw quarters, water board and A' Division police barracks, I never hired anybody to come and assist me for any installation, neither will I ever do that, I,did not take installation of satellite dish as a carrier , Am a senior police office still in the service , seeing me here in the Nairaland does not mean i am looking for somebody to give me a job of dish installation ,I am only trying to give out the little idea I have to other who may have not know or have known and still willing to learn the more, my friend since u are a professional installer that does not need any tools before installing a satellite dish , let those who feel they need the tools enhance their prfessionaliism be.

for the 3oclock lnb, shld i be standing behind the dish or in front?

when u stand behind the dish ur positive turning is right while negative turning is left, but I would always advised u make use of ur dish pointer.com to know ur accurate lnb skew, because ur location might be different from the person directing u, I sited one of such example in one of my write up.

This description applies to linear polarisation with names: Horizontal and Vertical.

Prior to attempting to point the dish at the satellite you need to pre-set the polarisation. The polarisation refers the axial rotation of the feed horn/LNB/BUC assembly at the front of the dish. There will be some kind of clamp around the feed throat which may be loosened sufficiently to allow the feed assembly to be rotated. There may be a tiny scale, possibly marked + and - either side of central. Ignore the + and - signs and concentrate just on the scale steps, try to determine how many degrees between each tick mark, perhaps 10 or 15 deg ? Quarter of a turn = 90 deg. In some cases the entire dish needs to be rotated to set the polarisation. There will be a large circular scale behind the dish.

Then i imputed multi tv freq while i was trying to hit green then suddenly the signal bar and strenght just move to 75% each but still red and it was abnormal as aught to have turnd green
so i stopd tightend the dish changed the sat and blindscannd and lo and behold NIGCOMSAT with 83% and about 62 channels but about 6 was not showing .but the channels were good they are beta than multi tv if they stablis their signal

Satellite TV Technology › Preparing Our Temporary Inclinometer For An Experiment by trewbless(op): 5:47pm On Jul 02, 2017*

This image is for those asking for protractor, probably before you get your inclinometer or protractor u could be making use of this for the time been

You need to print out the image below and stick it onto a piece of cardboard. Make a pinhole at the apex (centre of the small circle, near top left corner) and insert a length of strong sewing thread. Behind the card use sticky tape to secure the thread. At the front, attach a small weight, such as a 15mm or 1/2 inch metal nut, to the end of the thread, approx 20 cm or 8 inches long, so the weight dangles down past the lower edge of the inclinometer, so that it can move freely then after u have done that we will now now use it to set up a satellite dish of our choice, I will tell us how we can calculate our offset angle in our offset dish at our disposal, first of all let get this thing done accurately.

I have an old 2.5 mesh dish is still good, my landlady had given me notice to vacate her house, anyone interested and and lived around can come and carry it free of charge I have already dismantled it.
